This was the final site of my rotation each week, so I’m usually pretty familiar with the activity of the week at this point, everything goes smoothly and the children have a lot of fun!

All the children were super curious to hear about every week’s program. “We are doing art with our five senses!” they remembered. So I asked the children what they like to observe with their eyes during week 3. “I like watching my mom cook in the kitchen.” That created the snowball effect of all the children bringing up cooking memories. “I help my mom make pizza all the time, I watch her then I do it”. I asked the question again. “I like checking on the flowers in the garden every day. They grow and grow and bloom.” After finishing the main project many of the children wanted to keep colouring, and since it was my last location I gave out my extra sheets of white paper, they loved the paint markers.

For the last week, imagining, the children were thinking up things they’d like to see at camp, what they like to draw and what their favourite thing in their room is. A lot of the children ended up drawing their families into the pictures, it was very cute they were all holding hands.
“I like drawing flowers, and they smell nice.” She filled the inside of the gym with big, colourful flowers. Another child coloured in the whole picture, made the school pink and added a whole bunch of birds flying in the sky.
