Henry David Thoreau & Walden Pond for Kids

I love seeing my kids do art work. Being creative has always been a part of my life because my grandmother got me involved in her arts and crafts! She was so patient and kind showing me how and what to do with each project we shared.
My thirteen year old daughter enjoyed  using water colors and pastels to create this picture of Henry David Thoreau. It is her interpretation of one of the illustrations in the book, " If you Spent the Day with Thoreau at Walden Pond".

She drew a picture of the map of the pond from the book as well.

For English Grammar, I had her write a paragraph about the book and decorate it with some print-outs from the internet. We will end our school year reading from the journal that Thoreau kept while he lived at Walden Pond and take a field trip to Concord where the Pond is located.
