Awesome Geography: Nepal

Following along Geography Now Nepal



Our art activity was this torn paper mountain scene. 

We tore light and dark gray construction paper for the mountains and light and dark green for the hills.

We accented the "mountains" with white chalk pastels to suggest snow, then did a little more on the blue paper to make clouds. 

If it isn't obvious, you generally put the lighter color behind the darker color to give atmospheric perspective.

 I loved the way it came out!

For our snack we made Himalayan flatbreads  (pretty much chapatis) which we ate with Momo sauce.

Our active activity was supposed to be Dandi Biyo, or at least a variant, but we ran out of time.  I guess the active part was rolling out chapatis!  

Also, we all loved the Momo sauce!  Choclo said it was spicy like Indian food and spicy like Mexican food at the same time (guess who likes spicy food?).  But it wasn't overwhelmingly spicy to me, and I have a much lower spice tolerence.
