Castles and more Charcoal Drawings

The Bees and Little Eagles became architects and created their own Castles using collage materials last week. The lesson tied into the Medieval time period they have been learning about in History class. Our vocabulary words are: column, dome, arch, facade, turret, architects, moat, drawbridge.
