Busy Fingers in Clay


In the Studio, the children have been enjoying an exploration of clay.  While some work on a special project with Ms. Kadota, others are pulling and pushing and rolling and poking clay with a parent volunteer.  


There is so much energy about this new medium that is flexible in so many ways.  


Spiders and worms, nests and boats are some of the most popular creations.  




Children observe their own work and the work of others at the table.  




Sometimes they work in quiet contemplation.  




Other times, teamwork and storytelling bring energy to the table.  




Busy fingers are building minds.  Thank you to Jean Arias, Erin Bowden, Carli Shelley Sue Waldron, and Kristin Zangrilli for working alongside of the children in clay this month.
