Sketchbook A 2011
Several of the activities have inspired me to start to formulate learning opportunities. I prefer, integrated art activities and always looking for a teaching moment within School Age Care environment, to reinforce what the children are learning in the classrooms.
Inspired from the "paper and tape" and "collections" projects.
Paper and Tape: limited materials, create a book
Collections: Collect items and study them creatively interrupt them
Learning Opportunity:
Learning Opportunity:
The M&M painting and rubbing . I used the M&Ms from the collection activity and put them into water to use as watercolors. I also created my own brushes using the left over pieces of the plastic cups I cut down to use for the M&M watercolors. For the art aspect, younger children can learn to mix colors, how many blue and yellow M&Ms does it take to make lime green?
Science activity: measure the water to M&M dye, time the rate of decomposition, density: the level the water rises when M&M are added.
Math: Odds and ratios: How many M&Ms are in a fun size. Basic Math: What is a serving size? Calories per M&M. Probability: What is the probability of getting 4 green in one bag?
