Oftentimes in the Adamah classroom, we find children making different art projects to bring home for Mom, Dad, siblings and other family members. Today, we thought we'd try something different. When the children arrived in the classroom, they found art materials and a bowl full of small slips of paper, each with the name of another child in the classroom. As they came to the art table, the children pulled a classmate's name out of the bowl, and made a picture for that person -- with markers, crayons, hole-punchers and stickers. We're collecting the pictures until each person has one, then we'll mail them to each friend.
The children were thoughtful about the art projects, too. Hayley thought about which color paper Graham would like before she selected blue. Samantha asked Hayley, (who was sitting right with her!) what color paper she'd like. Hayley said, "Pink!" And the girls continued the conversation, about what Hayley might like Samantha to draw, until Samantha finished the whole picture for her friend.
Olivia was excited to pull Sally's name, and chose purple marker on purple paper, because she decided that Sally would really like that.
