US Grade Preschool - Pre-Kindergarten
Beginner Level
Critical Thinking with Art is designed to focus on creativity, communication, open-mindedness, problem solving and analytical thinking. Creativity will be sparked by your child's imagination seen in their drawing and painting. Puppet making and storytelling will encourage communication while open-mindedness will be engaged from comparing and identifying living and non-living things. Pattern making and memory games will help with problem solving skills. Sorting and categorizing will encourage analytical thinking. My eclectic teaching style will pool together song, stories, and hands-on art project for your child's individual talents. These foundational skills will later be used in Reading, Writing and Mathematic. Our weekly lessons will be: Week One - The Difference is (Analytical Thinking) Day one - Same/Differences-Art Activity/Apple/Potatoes Decorating Day two - Sorting - Art Activity/Bean and Rice Art Week Two - I Like (Communication) Day one - Story Drawing - Art Activity/Picture Drawing Day two - Sequences - Hand Tracing Pictures Week Three - How Can I (Problem-Solving) Day one - Picture/Word Puzzles - Art Activity/Finger Knitting Day two - Memory Games - Art Activity/Graph Drawing Week Four - I Can Make (Creativity) Day one - Apart and Together - Art Activity/Shape Coloring Day two - Missing Part - Art Activity/Stick Person Week Five - I See (Open-Mindedness) Day One - Living and Non Living - Art Activity/String Necklace Day Two - Analogies - Art Activity/Picture Painting

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Psychology from Kaplan University
I believe learning doesn't have a beginning or end. Everyday should be a chance to learn something new. The goal of this lesson is to nurture independent and unique thinking skills. I have taught early childhood education for over ten years. I enjoy establishing a foundation that children can use throughout life. The activities from these sessions will emerge into mathematics, reading and writing skills.
As a homeschool instructor, I discovered the challenges of finding learning material that fit into my teaching objectives. This led me to continue my education in Instructional Design to gain the ability to create online courses and Educational Psychology to learn how to spark the learning process. My motivation is to encourage a desire for learning. It is my philosophy that learning is natural and easy.
