Project time is for fun and learning through guided activities. The children get a chance to express their creativity through many avenues of art. They build and create with paint, glue, sticks, buttons, felt, foam, paper, and just about anything we can find. This skill development time is essential to strengthen small motor skills, eye hand coordination, reasoning, problem solving and all sensory development. Because the children that we work with are so young all the parts and pieces are pre cut or fashioned in a manner to limit frustration and make the time enjoyable. Below are some sample projects you can see details of on the three project pages.
Special Project Mothers Day 2001We worked on some special Mothers Day Gifts in April and May
2001. God Made Me Writing GroupWe also have a writing group for our 3 1/2 to pre-K children. They learn through hands on practice and guided exercises the basics of writing. Writing the Letter “R”
In
writing group the children use large pencils and at time felt tip pens.
We begin with tracing over circles and lines.
The letter of the week is the letter we focus on writing.
The letter “R” is experienced both in upper case and lower case
giving a dotted example to trace and then the child is encouraged to write their
very own letter “R”.
On this particular example there is a picture of the rainbow ,which
begins with the letter we are writing.
After a time of concentrated writing, the group is able to color the
picture with crayons, bringing them into a relaxed and confident end to the
task. Writing
group brings children who are ready into more extended focus time, teaching them
completion of a task in a timely manner, preparing
them for the public or private school system.
They find new challenges and excitement about their new success.
