COLLABORATION

COLLABORATION

Early in the school year parents were invited to the studio to see just what "Beautiful Stuff"was all about.

The Kindergarten team of teachers presented a slide show that highlighted work that had already been done and the promises of what was yet to come.

Children from all four kindergarten classrooms work in this common space with their own teachers and other members of the Tobin staff. Here the children are working with a volunteer, and one of the Tobin Art teachers.

The English as a Second Language (ESL), teacher is working with children in the Kindergarten Studio. Students working with art materials can express themselves easily through this visual language. The materials also provide a rich medium for building vocabulary, and conversational language.

The childrens' work often leads to discussions of learning style and academic strengths. Here the ESL teacher discusses with two of the Kindergarten teachers the fascinating process she observed as a child produced this work in the studio.
