I loved the aboriginal dot paintings in Big Rain Coming, and Elizabeth, Queen of the Seas about New Zealand was really fun! The kids loved Diary of a Wombat and Diary of a Baby Wombat.
Juanito's narration:
The wombat ate grass, and slept, and found the perfect dustbath. And he found new neighbors; the new neighbors had oats and carrots and the perfect scratching posts. And she dug a hole under the ground to be closer to the neighbors.
- Diary of a Wombat
Rosie's narration:
The baby wombat wanted to eat flowers and he wanted to play. He found the baby. They played a game. The baby wombat was trying to get a new hole. They digged a new hole, it goed to the neighbor's house. The new hold was inside, in the baby's room.

We made anzac biscuits for co-op!
For co-op activities, we played Mr. Crocodile and then created traditional aboriginal dot paintings, inspired by the artwork in Big Rain Coming.
And that wraps up our school year!
