Young Fives get a chance in the Art Room to explore a variety of materials! Each week they learn a new skill and how to take care of the materials. They get a freedom of choice and learn through play and experimentation!
Drawing Center
The drawing center in the art room was taught to the young five students through a project using the book "The Dot". They were able to make their own dot on a paper plate using the drawing materials. Students learned how to independently get these materials, use them appropriately, and and put away correctly. Check out their lovely dots below!
