For pre-literate children, the visual arts are a primary means through which they can explore and share their perceptions of their world. The visual arts can help children to communicate ideas that cannot be expressed verbally, which is particularly important for children with English as a second language.

This week’s theme entails all things related to hiking. In order to bring the visual arts to our young ones, Miss Cheyenne came up with this colorful art project! Students used their fingers to add glue and pipe cleaners to paper shapes in order to create a beautiful butterfly!

Our students enjoyed sharing their creations with their friends. Many of them even engaged in some dramatic play!
