My 4th graders created these fun and colorful carts for our Tropical Rainforest Unit. Inspiration The traditional oxcart, or carreta,is Costa Rica’s most famous type of craft.  From the mid-nineteenth century, oxcarts were used to transport coffee beans from Costa Rica’s central valley over the mountains to Puntarenas on the Pacific coast, a journey requiring ten to fifteen days.

I hope all of you are enjoying a restful summer break. We sure are at our house. A couple of days after school got out we packed up our VW minivan and headed out west.  We are a national park's family. We love the national parks and all they have to offer: beautiful scenery, fun lodges, stamps for passport books and our favorite thing the Junior Ranger Program! Ok, that is another post
