Over in the Valley: Student Art from a Recent Visit
http://overinthevalley.blogspot.com/2012/04/student-art-from-recent-visit.html
Sunday, April 1, 2012. Student Art from a Recent Visit. Last week I visited Gustine Elementary School kindergarten classes. I shared my book, "Over in the Valley" and we discussed characteristics of the various Valley species that are featured. We charted the animals according to their coverings; fur, feathers, skin or scales.
