In my class i will encourage openended art by giving them the oportunitie to explore the class room that i will fill with all kids of centers that prompte open ended learning . Next year i hope to encourage my dirrector to let me come up with a schedual that will let my kids have more free art/play time . I love being able to give the kids art supplie and they come up with what ever they want. they best part is they are all so different and i love that .
every morning we have a time that i call streatch and grow . at this time i get the kids up and moving we streatch ,wiggle,dance and just be silly. i also play music while they are playing and i will see kids dancing . i also put on story telling cds and we act out the parts with puppets .
With all of todays technology many kids miss out on all the fun we had as children, with dress-up and make believe. preschoolers need to move around, use their imagination and make their own fun.
Play is a valuable learning tool for children. Dramatic play is pretend play. Pretending expands a child's life experiences by letting them be who ever they want to be .
when planning my art, music, dramatic time i will take in to consideration if it will expand their imaginantion . i will aslo look past if it will make a big mess and just let them be kids .
