Children use A hundred languages to express themselves. Words, symbols, sounds, music, art, etc. It is through those languages we learn about the children and what is important to them. this week we started our 100 languages of Art unit. We've spent the week exploring different mediums of art, leaning about famous artists, and working on all of our colours! With our Reggio inspired approach we allow the child’s interests to direct their learning and art. With that they will create something that they savour and love!
We started our week with our work on Alef-Bet this is a project that will be continuous throughout the year with the children making their own Alef-Bet books to take home to share with you!
