START WITH ART: Fall Begins

Welcome/welcome back! We are starting our day with art with this calendar. This takes us less than five minutes each morning and our kids always bring it up later in the day at the dinner table or during our evening reading sessions. 

Here's how to #STARTWITHART:

Step one: Take a look at the artwork below

Step two: Read the questions below the picture of the art to the students/children in your life

Step three: See how starting your day with art can ignite creativity and critical thinking! 

It's that easy!
