We paint up to 6 canvases each year and create stationary to give to Mothers for Mother’s Day. We make Art out of found objects. We make an Eric Carle caterpillar based on his books. For academics, we concentrate on learning our alphabet, numbers 1-20, colors, shapes, calendar, and handwriting. We have weekly special topics that we discuss like weather, and the lifecycle of a butterfly. We read and discuss the first ten catechisms and weekly Bible stories. · Lead teacher for Art and Manners for Preschool Enrichment. We focus on simple manners involving introductions and conversation during a meal. Our Art projects reinforce items like alphabet, numbers, colors, and shapes. · Lead teacher for Middle School Art.
