Today we jumped in Alex's jet to fly into Canada where we drove around in Tony's bulldozer to explore the country.

They each made a Canadian Maple leaf and put it on their world bag where it will hold one craft from each country they visit and explore.
Next, we learned about Inukshuk (means: likeness of a person) rock formations.
They are used in Canada to serve as directional and locational markers.
We watched a video about them as they made their own Inukshuk's out of modeling clay.
Tony did REALLY well.
Finally, we went outside found rocks and made real Inukshuk's.
This was so much fun. Next we will be making a Canadian meal or snack.
I can't wait to visit another country!
Check this stud-muffin out.
He drew, traced and colored the Canadian flag ALL by himself.
I didn't touch anything or direct at this point.
This is the video that the boys were watching to learn about the rock formations and how to build them.
