When children are exposed to art and able to use different mediums the following happens:
Creativity is promoted
Neural connections are engaged.
Fine motor skills are being built and strengthened.
Scribbling is a precursor to writing.
Problem solving skills are developed.
Kids begin to understand themselves and their world.
This week we used feathers to paint. Each project was authentic and allowed the children to be creative.
Peer Learning with Pre-K
This week Nursery 3 and Pre-K had the opportunity to collaborate during our Montessori work time. Students learn a great deal by explaining their ideas to others and by participating in activities in which hey can learn from their peers.
