Christopher Columbus, Autumn Harvest, the Weather

Draw Write Now #2

by Marie Hablitzel, Kim Stitzer

Beginning drawing and writing lessons for children ages five to ten. BOOK 2 focuses on Christopher Columbus, harvest time and the weather. The books are simple enough for a young child to do independently, but a teacher or parent may present the lessons. Each drawing lesson includes a colorful picture and step-by-step instructions, while the writing lesson includes four simple handwritten sentences. The teacher or parent may introduce letter formation or have the children copy the sentences for handwriting practice, or use the lessons as a springboard for creative writing or report writing. Developed by an elementary school teacher and co-authored by her daughter. A brief list of the 21 lessons in the book The Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria, a map of the Western Hemisphere, pine cone, owl, squirrel, pumpkin, plane in the clouds, and sledding in the snow.

My children really enjoyed this book. It definitely helped them improve their drawing skills, and it was a wonderful supplement to our homeschool days as we were learning about Columbus, and enjoying the beauties of Autumn.
