Coloring Pages:
Cameron's:
You can't tell from the scan, but the hat was very carefully colored a light peach or "flesh" color. Speaking of flesh color, before he began coloring, Cameron asked me if the people of Sumer had dark skin. I said that I wasn't sure, but I thought they did. He said, "Oh, ok. I have a brown crayon here for dark skin, but I don't think I'll use it now." He ended up not coloring the skin at all. I wonder if that is a political statement of sorts? It was, certainly, the first time he has ever mentioned skin color.
Cassia's:
(Scanner conked out! It was very red though, lol.)
Map Work:
Not interesting enough to post. ;) Just a red circle around Akkadia.
