Picasso, boats and Don Quijote

Cedrik drew a picture of Picasso and Jordan.

He wanted to learn about boats so we've been learning the major parts, hull, bow, stern, main sail, mast, rudder. They've been loving it and decided to make their own boats during lunch one day-without any prompting from me. Cedrik told me the different parts as he built it.

We learned about Jesus helping Simon Peter catch fish. They thought it was awesome! We had to replay it several times and watch the video of it too.

We learned about Don Quijote and it was by far their favorite thing to learn from Picasso, technically it was Cervantes, but Picasso has a painting of his view of the story.

Cedrik was Don Quixote, riding Rocinante, I played Dulcinea and Freddie was Sancho Panza, riding his donkey. Both had "swords" and fought the giant windmills. They LOVED it. Cedrik drew a picture of Don Quixote riding Rocinante and then wrote their names. Fantastic artwork.

He signed this, Cedrik-picasso. 
He almost drew Don Quixote with only one ear, like Picasso does in a few paintings (because they are side-views) but at the last second decided to add the other one. He did however, make Rocinantes portrait a side view, notice only one eye. :)
