"Finding Your Voice" Creative Curriculum Guide
Many educators, school leaders, and families acknowledge the need for more opportunities to cultivate social emotional skills like self advocacy, recognizing and expressing emotions, and learning to work together. The truth is, art and play are authentic, meaningful, and contextual ways of practicing and nurturing these skills. In this month’s guide, Finding Your Voice, we have intentionally included a variety of art and play invitations that promote collaboration, acknowledge big emotions, and help children get comfortable with identifying how they are feeling. In the classroom especially, children can learn to share and exchange ideas, balancing the needs of others and their own, while working together within a space. Use this guide to help grow a culture of collaboration in your home or classroom, while ensuring that every child finds their voice.
Our curriculum is inclusive and honors each child’s individuality and way of thinking and working. Consider each guide like a beautiful magazine where creativity meets education. They are more than a collection of art ideas, they are the KEY to a cohesive, child-centered, manageable creative practice for your family at home, or to integrate with your homeschool or classroom curriculum.
Our guides are 25 pages and include:
Each month is based on a theme or “Big Idea” that ties to every offering in the guide
20 creative invitations using everyday, low-prep materials that are either recycled, collected in nature, or already on hand
2 extended art projects that can be worked on over a longer period of time to build creative confidence, either collaboratively or individually in the classroom
Master supply list
Mindfulness routines to help nurture connection and physical and emotional development, build in opportunities to self-regulate, and feel grounded throughout the school day
Tips on organizing and designing the classroom environment to nurture independence
Guidance on extending invitations through the use of stations to inspire more creativity and innovation and for children to return to independently
Curricular connections within the guide’s creative offerings in math, literacy, science and social studies
A rich, teacher-approved picture book list with an emphasis on diversity, inclusion, earth stewardship, and kindness
An artist spotlight that connects with the theme and nurtures a child’s curiosity, provides them ways to notice and appreciate diverse perspectives, and establishes an early foundation for art appreciation
A one-page calendar of the month’s invitations for easy reference and planning
