My Project

We have 18 inquisitive, playful and artistic children in our amazing classroom! They love painting and playing. When they create their masterpieces, they not only have fun while doing it, but they truly express themselves in their work. It helps to build their language when we ask them to explain to us what their beautiful paintings are.

Through the children's explanations, they wind up telling us some amazing stories and we also learn so much about what they love and like, which helps to grow their vocabulary and their comfort with speaking with others.
