ART & ECOLOGY Art projects do not have to be elaborate or complicated to produce benefits. Even the simplest ones can have profound effects. Younger children need gluing experiences to learn dexterity and the proper amount of glue. In this way they learn to respect materials and to use them wisely. Common materials and “throw-aways” found in the home can be useful. Children can learn that, instead of throwing away a “mistake,” to rework it, producing something different than planned, often with surprising and pleasing results. “Useless” items can be redeemed and can challenge thinking into a creative venture.

Remember that storage is limited and the curriculum is planned out for the most part these supplies will go to decorate the school and be staples on to bulletin boards, please bag in a clear plastic “baggie.” Please no fabrics or bulky items unless they are small and thin enough to fit in a baggie and can be stapled on to a bulletin board.
