Research

Ethan had to do a research report, visual and written, on the culture/traditions of England.  I am sure there are reasons for giving an assignment a Kindergartner has no chance of doing alone, but it rubs me the wrong way a little. It probably took twice the time and shows his age, but Ethan did the majority of the work and can explain it.  There are written explanations on the back of each picture. 

He was amazed that Queen Elizabeth has been Queen for so long (over 60 years) and chose to learn about the coronation.  She rode in a golden carriage with her husband (he drew them in the windows) and it was pulled by white horses.  That is a picture of the crown used at the coronation.  Hanging down is the order of succession starting with Elizabeth's dad and going down to baby Prince George.  Ethan can tell you all of their names and discuss the coronation, so, successful in my book.
