The Value of Drawing!

Most children love to draw, and it is a more accessible medium for their representation than writing or even talking. Even the youngest children can use drawing to communicate movement, experiences, and feelings. But drawing with children is more than art and creative expression. If children gain skills and confidence to draw what they see around them, they will be able to express ideas, tackle problems, and learn through their drawings.

The photos reflect Ruby's deliberation and careful work with design- shapes, lines, sizes and color. She confidently dictated a story to go with her drawing on the white board, in the Writing Center. The title of her story is "The Bat that Helped Batman." Thanks Ruby!!!!
