A "hide" on the first sheet has all sorts of picture writing symbols on it. The
2nd sheet has "blank hides" so you can write your own story out of symbols. This
would be a good time to talk about other forms of picture writing -how the Egyptians
used it and how Chinese characters came from pictures, etc. Ask your child why
writing with pictures would get pretty cumbersome after awhile (because you'd
have to remember "pictures" for everything vs. the 26 letters of our alphabet
with some 70 or so sound combinations, etc.)
The Nez Perce raised horses
so I've found some horse activities to go along with this topic!
Horse
Story Worksheet Use this to write a story about a horse or about Kaya.

dot-to-dot: This dot-to-dot is pretty simple. My son likes dot-to-dots though
and so I decided to include it.
Appaloosa Coloring Book: Color the pictures
of the appaloosas (or paint them) for your notebook. Write some facts on the back
from an encyclopedia, book or online. |
