The Lake District Potter learned about the natural world at the Lake District. The family would go there for vacations and it was one of Potter’s favorite places. She and her brother would play and interact with the natural world around them, and Beatrix would later express it in her tales and paintings.

QuotesQuotes “Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were--Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter.” -From The Tale of Peter Rabbit “Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.” “Most people, after one success, are so cringingly afraid of doing less well that they rub all the edge off their subsequent work.” “Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were--Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter.” -From The Tale of Peter Rabbit “Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.” “Most people, after one success, are so cringingly afraid of doing less well that they rub all the edge off their subsequent work.”

Main Accomplishment When Beatrix Potter was 27, she wrote The Tale of Peter Rabbit, a picture-letter, to a little boy she knew who had been sick for a very long time. In 1901, she had 250 copies printed by Christmas, and they all sold out quickly, which meant she had to print 200 more two weeks later.

I Learned... I learned that, in order to fulfill your dreams, you not only must work hard, but you have to be imaginative and quench your needs of creativity. I learned that you learn more from the world around you than from any school, not necessarily how to read, write, or use good grammar, but about the things that they leave off in schools or only skim the subjects surface. And, most of all, I learned that I had a Beatrix Potter book in my home and didn’t even realize who I had picked until I researched her. ;)

Learning Style Along the way, there were hints about Beatrix Potter that lead me to the conclusion that her learning style was part kinesthetic and part visual. I think this because she painted and worked with animals with her hands and also she saw the nature around her and learned from the beautiful sights. I learn this way also. I need to do the activities in order to learn,but sometimes I just need to see the things around me. I also like to write stories and create art, while I also love to be outside with nature.
