King Of Ireland's Son



We are using Chirstoperus second grade for our son Otis this year. I am very pleased with the ciruculum. We we came to the block for the King of Ireland's Son it was a daunting task to have to read the chapter , come up with setences and draw pictures! I'm working of my BA taking fifteen credits , as well as applied arts training at Sunbridge college ,and teaching classes! But this turned out to be a sort of Parzival for the second grade. I love this book , I love the work we did. Somedays out of sheer lack of time I let him decide what to draw and to be fair my drawing is awful to begin with! I also was doing spiral paintings for our wet on wet time during this block.


I have put these in order the best I could. To the left is day two. Above is day one.




I really love the image of the crows attacking Fedelma and The King of Ireland's son , I tried not to let Otis see the pictures in the book so he could form his own ideas of what they should look like.






















Above is one of the "insert" stories about the king of cats!













I found myself so excited that I was reading ahead of where we were! Which led to confusing myself!
