No matter the Theorist you support, one thing that all agree on is the importance of cognitive development, it's undeniable, tho debate may be made on how it develops. Always making sure to foster it in any way in the class is what is crucial to a child's growing mind. .

#CDF406 Principals of best practice for effective schedules in a classroom:
* consistency

ART IS FOR ALL AGES. step away from the belief that children are too young to understand ART, and into a world of endless possibilities. When children explore art they learn so much. So, think outside the box, matter a fact, tear the box up and make something from it. #CDF406
