Igloos and Eskimos

I recently had my students draw eskimos and igloos. It seemed like a good topic because it was a new environment for the kids to set their drawings in, a chance to learn to draw simplified people, and it afforded an opportunity to add lots of stuff and animals! These pictures came out wonderfully, don't you think!

They're not boys! They all have pigtails! They are girls. But if you want, you can think they are boys with long hair.

Scandinavian eskimos, I take it. ;)
Too cute! Your students are always so creative. I love it.

Aww! You're leaving me a message!

I ♥:

the smell of wet asphalt, hedges, stepping on dry crunchy leaves, red brick walls, cool breezes on a warm day, the warmth of the sun on a cold day, writing my name into a new book, singing, the process of getting to know a person, paper, hand-written notes from friends, subtlety, being driven around (as opposed to driving), brown paper bags, blowing dandelions, my friends being happy, writing with a pencil, making people laugh, holding a warm mug when it is cold, drinking tea, sticking my face out the window of a moving car, being barefoot & in pajamas, the fact you've read this far.
