What happens when four snowflake-sisters "land" inside four different famous winter landscapes? The children will listen to the story while exploring paintings created by Shishkin, Monet, Pissarro, and Avercamp. Kids will "help" each sister-snowflake to figure out what is so special about the place she landed in. We will finish the first part of the class by looking at Avercamp’s painting "Winter Landscape with Skaters" and playing “I spy game” with it. In a second part of the class, children will make a 3D winter scene. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE LIST OF MATERIALS NEEDED FOR THE CRAFT.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a graduate of Temple University in Philadelphia with bachelor degree in Psychology. Also, I studied Early Childhood Education in Israel and Ukraine.
Before I started teaching on Outschool, I've being teaching creativity classes inspired by classical music and fine art in afternoon preschool program working with Pre-K through 2 Grade children. Earlier, I was a homeschooling mom for 7 years.
I believe that childhood is the best time to inspire human creativity. By regularly exposing children to works of art and classical music as well as helping kids to process their experiences through games, crafts, and dramatic play, adults have an opportunity to cultivate their creativity.
I LOVE reading books in general and children's literature in particular. I think there are so many great and beautiful kids' books waiting to be discovered. I also love co-creating with the kids: bouncing my ideas of theirs.Reviews
