The Arts and Early Education: October 2014
http://artsandchildren.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
The Arts and Early Education. Sunday, October 26, 2014. Connecting the dots between language and music development. What is this child doing? One of our mothers came in to share her love of the piano with our two small groups. She presented both the piano, and piano music, and explained that, like letters forming sentences, musical notes form musical sentences. The children were in awe of this phenomenon- making music by reading it in print, just like reading words on a page. It is such an important shif...

The Arts and Early Education: April 2013
http://artsandchildren.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
The Arts and Early Education. Saturday, April 6, 2013. Cardboard and duct tape go far in our classroom. After some study of space and a visit to the Air and Space Museum, two talented teachers built a space shuttle for the dramatic play area. Learning about child development should be required for all early childhood (and late childhood! Educators. Children cannot learn through their senses, intellect, and emotions if they are treated as if they are older than they are. Answers to a question. This is my ...

The Arts and Early Education. Sunday, February 24, 2013. Can the Arts Save Education? Can the Arts Save Education? Okay, I'm done. No, seriously, the arts are the new go-to solution for failing schools. We have tried extrinsic rewards, or "positive reinforcement" through certificates, stars, stickers, contests, jellybean jars, and praise ("good job! The arts are instrinsically. I have written extensively about project work and arts integration in early childhood, specifically in preschool. During the...

The Arts and Early Education: March 2014
http://artsandchildren.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
The Arts and Early Education. Sunday, March 30, 2014. Preserving the old, preparing the new. This is one of the WPA mosaic tiles. New and original architecture, and new art are good for culture and society. New and original people are, too! Once the WPA employed artists. Ironically, teaching through the arts has been shown in research to be the most integrating path. Also works with schools to train teachers to teach through the arts. There are many online resources ask well. Here. Links to this post.

The Arts and Early Education. Sunday, December 14, 2014. We don't need no stinkin' badges! On the left is a picture of a powerful symbol. I am not talking about police in the news, here. I am talking about a symbol of power to a four year old boy. In a preschool classroom there might be one or more boys obsessed with superheros, police, firefighters, and the like. These same boys, these days, are also obsessed with guns, firepower, and other armaments. Boys will make a gun out of anything. Certain childr...

The Arts and Early Education. Sunday, February 23, 2014. When Pigasso Met Mootisse. This story has many admirers among art teachers. There should be more admirers among early childhood educators. It has everything! Hurt feelings and most importantly: Making up. The story is based loosely upon the friendship of Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, with animals subbing for the historical humans. So we are thinking about doing a "unit", as we say in the biz. Should we ask them to produce their own Picassos?
