Part of our study of art also includes learning about author and artist Beatrix Potter. She wrote her books in the early 1900's. We heard about her when we read the American Girl, Samantha story and also when we learned about Teddy Roosevelt!
Potter wrote about and painted beautiful watercolor paintings of small animals. So, room 101 has opened it's own nursery. Turbo the rabbit and Suzy and Speedy the gerbils have arrived. We will be visiting the nursery, and painting the animals over the coming weeks. This is very exciting!
