Satori Smiles

We covered our Ancient China lesson months ago, but I really wanted to do projects for each Story of the World lesson, so this project is a bit late.

This is the pictogram for “house”, as described in our Story of the World text.

Satori built a complex pictogram that means “village”.  This page turned out to be more of a painting of a village rather than a word symbol.

Here is Satori’s pictogram for “mountains”.

Be sure to check out this neat Chinese Pictogram worksheet for more fun!

Now that we are more familiar with our birds, it is very obvious when a rare-to-our-backyard bird visits us. This is a Black-headed Grosbeak. Look at that big (gros) beak!  A male and female pair were at our birdfeeder over the weekend. Next time I will try to get a better picture, this was taken from inside my kitchen, through a window and into our forest.

And of course I couldn’t resist this pretty little girl…
