Week in Review (10/24-10/28) 

Drawing Self-Portraits

We see children at this age working to figure out their own identity. To help them increase their own self-awareness, we invited children to explore themselves in mirrors. We asked them what they saw and listened as they discovered and shared what they noticed about themselves. Afterwards, the children represented what they saw through drawings. It was exciting to watch how each child represented themselves artistically.
