My Students

CPSES Artists have been growing and working on their amazing fine motor and craftsmanship skills and are ready to take things to the next level. Our art room has been borrowing blocks and building supplies from other teachers. Students LOVE these blocks and building so much. Having a supply of blocks that can stay in the art room would benefit the kids so much!

Creating an amazing builders corner for students allows them to have time to explore through creative play and design.

I am hopeful we can have an amazing building center that will excite and encourage our young artists!

My Project

Having a building center in the art room is an amazing resource and an area of pure JOY for students. Artists use the building blocks and magna tiles to plan architecture projects, create their own still life to draw, work together on creative problem solving, reinforce math through pattern work with the shape/pattern blocks, and design engineering projects with the "keva" inspired blocks.

Students will also choose to build when they have choice time or centers in the art room.

This open opportunity to play and build together creates amazing opportunities for social growth, problem solving and FUN!! They LOVE to build and often ask me to take a picture of their creations!
