I am very excited as today is my first lesson in Tel Menashe, with a group
of new girls ranging from pre-school to grade 3.Teaching English in a fun &
creative way I decided today we would start off with something fun and colorful
and simple but effective. I had recently bought the wonderful book “The Dot” by
Peter H. Reynolds and loved the illustrations and the wonderful message! Just
the perfect way to get started!
Unfortunately my studio was not available yet, but we were blessed by one
of the moms offering us her patio…so we got to enjoy the outdoor air too!
We read the delightful story, on my magic carpet; translating each page …they
loved it!
I gave the girls each a cut out circle in different colours and asked them
to stick it on their page as our starting point .I also gave them black pastels
and suggested that they could make rings around the circle(like a tree).Others
stayed with the dot idea.
The girls were delighted with the wonderful paints (I use Giotto tempera)the
radiant colours and wonderful results!
Great fun was had by all!
