This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I love that my students are so young and eager to learn. PreK3 is usually their first experience in school and their minds are open to learning and new experiences. I love it when I look at them during play time and they have a look of wonder and amazement in their eyes. I also love to watch them playing I the interest areas/centers as they explore, learn and develop critical social skills. For example one of my students was in the discovery area playing with a friend with a rocket-ship. I took this time to teach him about the solar system. He then shared what he had learned with a friend.
My Project
Although we as Teachers do very our best teaching remotely, It cannot replace in school learning, especially for preschoolers.
This 2 station Art Easel will enhance my Art Area and bring out the inner artist in my little learners.
Art is critical to the development of preschoolers:
The art of scribbling is developing those fine motor skills so they can one day eventually write words.
Art is also linked to Self-esteem and self-expression. Mastering skills, completing art projects and learning to express themselves in new ways helps kids gain confidence and perseverance.
