Welcome to our unit study on Whales! Or as we’ve learned, cetaceans. We are diving into this unit to study a select few marine mammals and to do so, we’ve sourced a variety of books that we are thrilled to share with you.

Working on a small chalkboard, gives you the beauty and the gesture of an illustration without the time commitment and grandeur of working on a larger job board.

For this unit, we chose the super easy iceberg demonstration. Not only was it very easy to do, it was also extremely educational.

These were the easiest so far. In part, I think because whales are easier to draw than some of the other nature images we’ve done before. Also, I made these with a white background which simplified the process.

Shorty units have their pros and cons. For one, we can get through a unit before anyone tires of it, but we rarely have enough time to dive deeply into a unit that's short.
