As we approach the end of our month of caring and enter into our month of risk-taking, we will be engaged in number of learning adventures that will allow us to highlight these and other learner profile traits we have been growing throughout the year.
This year, we have had the privilege of learning and growing with our beloved buddies from Preschool 1 and 2. In addition to our regular times together, they have asked us to be part of a creative collaboration inspired by the work of Eric Carle, famed children’s book author and illustrator (Additional resources will be posted on the blog). We are thrilled to play a part in what will most certainly be a memorable and meaningful meshing of minds and muscles.
In preparation for this project, Mr. Matthew and Mrs. V shared with us a video of Eric Carle documenting the process and purpose behind his artwork. We also, under the direction of Ms. Yoko, created a prolific palette of paper using Eric Carle’s technique. Tissue paper teeming with tones, textures, and timbres will soon be transformed into terrific tableaus, which is our task this coming week.
Initiated and inspired by the ideas and imaginations of our buddies, we will serve with scissors and support selflessly as each scene takes shape. Through purposeful questioning, considerate clarifying, and patient positioning and pasting, we will listen as our buddies lead us to the making of museum-worthy masterpieces.
It is to this must-see museum of masterpieces we would like to extend to you an invitation. (Note: Fabulous formal invitations will be distributed, but we wanted you to have advance notice of this special event).
