Visual Arts Home-School Connection Activity
A theme throughout the text and, certainly, throughout Early Childhood Education, is to provide home-school connections for children and for their parents. These connections can take on many forms and serve many purposes. They can inform parents about current topics and happenings in the classroom. They can provide ideas for parents in ways they can extend the learning at home as well as spend quality time with their children. They can give children the opportunity to communicate and show what they are learning at school. This week I would like you to create a specific home-school connection activity that parents are required to complete with their child.
This means that you will likely need to provide all materials needed to accomplish this activity and send it home (in a baggie, in a cloth sack, etc.) and provide complete instructions to parents, being sensitive to all education levels and cultural backgrounds as well as the limited time some parents may have each evening with their children.
Complete the Following
Review the suggested home activities on pages 164 and 236 of your Edwards text.
Create a home-school connection activity related to visual arts.
Your activity must include:
*an introduction to the activity describing the purpose of the activity to parents and how it relates to what is being learned in school (you will have to imagine here that you are in the midst of a particular unit)
*a list of the contents of the “bag” (all the items that need to be included for the parent to complete the activity)
*complete step-by-step instructions for the parents,
*require the reading of a children’s book to set the stage for or end the activity
