When Art Meets Literature

"Creative people do not see things 

merely for what they are;

they see them for what they

can be."

I have made so many wonderful connections over on my Instagram account with creative people who have a passion for the early years. Julia and Megan from KidArtLit curate a wonderful creative monthly box. Each box combines two of my favourite things. A wonderful picture book and a creative art experience. When my own two children were little one of our favourite times of the day was when we read before bedtime. Not only was this a wonderful way to support their literacy skills it also provided an opportunity to create a love of reading. I have a visual arts background and it was also important to me that my children experience creative opportunities beginning at an early age. We wanted to foster a love of art as the creative process leads to innovative thinking and problem solving. Two very important skills for their future. 

When we received the first KitArtLit box I knew we had something special. Each box contains a take and go activity, beautiful hardcover book, mini magazine with lots of creative discussion, and enough art supplies to complete the monthly art experience two times. I am happy to be a part of the KidArtLit affiliate team and share our experience with the box. You can click the link in my sidebar to order your own creative box. This month the fabulous ladies are giving away a three month subscription. You have until the end of September to add your name to the list. You can follow @KidArtLit over on Instagram too. They are always sharing creative ideas to support your own child's art and literacy journey.

The Third Educator - Languages of Learning

"Teachers

 - like children and everyone else - 

feel the need to grow in their competences; 

they want to transform experiences into thoughts, thoughts into reflections, 

the reflections into new thoughts 

and new actions."

Loris Mallaguzzi

Pg 48 The Hundred Languages of Children

I am so pleased to announce that today is the beginning of an exciting journey within my own learning as an educator. The inspirational Susan Wright from the blog https://nurturedinspirations.com/ and I have partnered together to bring you the Languages of Learning monograph. We hope that you will read, share, discuss and reflect on your own learning journey with us. We have created this monograph as a starting point and to share our passion for early years education. This monograph is for everyone who shares a desire to provide children with meaningful experiences and environments to learn. Whether you are a parent, early childhood educator or teacher we welcome your thoughts and reflections as we celebrate the "Languages of Learning!" We welcome you to share the monograph to your professional learning network and contact us for further information and possible collaborations/learning sessions. Wishing all educators a wonderful start to the school year.
