Joy the summer school teacher declared that this was international week in our apartment. For example, on social studies day, each child selected a different country to research.
Today was art day, and each student drew someone from their chosen country (often with a bit of help from Google Images and their big sister the art teacher).
Joy drew a picture of a woman from Norway (she wants to live in Norway someday because it's nice and cold for most of the year--I told her we'll occasionally visit her in the summertime).
Daniel chose Japan because it was one of the only foreign countries he had heard of. Joy drew the outline of a Japanese woman in a kimono, and Daniel colored the drawing in.
Anna chose Uruguay, because I served as a missionary there. We found a picture of a woman in a traditional Uruguayan outfit, and Anna drew a picture of her.
Todd chose Canada, because visited it on our recent road trip. Joy drew the outline of a Canadian in traditional dress, and then turned it into a color-by-number picture so Todd could easily color it in. (This Canadian doesn't have a big nose and a protruding Adam's apple--those are 4s telling Todd to color those parts peach. :)
