Every Child is an Artist
What a fun first full week! The children are getting more comfortable with their new routines each day and bringing plenty of big personalities and strong preschool opinions!
I chose the title Every Child Is an Artist because I love seeing what children create when we give them the materials and let them take the lead. I truly love process art, where the focus is on exploring, making choices and enjoying the experience, not on the final product. My goal is not to send home 9 identical masterpieces! I want the children to enjoy the process, express themselves and proudly say, “I made this!”
You may see two art activities from last week making another appearance in this week’s plan. Preschool life keeps us flexible! We’ll try them again so everyone gets a chance to join in.
On Monday, Ms. Maggie will join us for our first Yoga & Mindfulness 🧘♀️ session. We also weave mindfulness and social-emotional learning into our days to help children understand their feelings, build confidence and develop a positive sense of self.
Here’s a little look at what the children explored this week:
Dance Enrichment with Ms. Michelle
Building Early Literacy Skills
Exploring with Art
Pretend Play
Mastering Cognitive Skills
Busy Bees at Work :)
