Young Fives:
September:
Dot Paintings: Read them the book, The Dot. We are learning painting procedures. How to use the paints, brushes and water. We are learning how to mix colors on the paper and not in the paint tray.
Art Stations: When your child comes to the art room, they are also learning to go to three art stations: painting, PlayDoh, and an art station where they work with me on a project. It is important that they are able to work with as many art materials as possible as often as possible. It is important they are working with these materials to build finger strength and fine motor skills. Working with PlayDoh will help, along with painting, cutting and drawing!
