One of many artist-in residencies I was involved with at Alexander Ferguson Elementary (Calgary, AB, grades 1-2) started out as a paper-making and study of colour project for science and then morphed into an ABC book making project for the Social Studies unit: Three Canadian Communities.
The two images shown are: Red Crab from the Nova Scotia/Coastal unit and Deer Mouse in Nest from the Saskatchewan/Prairies study. I especially like the little red heart the student put on her mouse!
