REAL Fun with Montserrat College of Art Students

There were 14 happy children drawing and talking today at The REAL Program. We even were entertained by our very talented Hayliana who played the cello for us, too. Daniel from Montserrat read the book Me on the Map today. The children asked many questions and they answered many questions. Most of them had an understanding of what a map does. Phoebe from Montserrat showed the different kinds of maps displayed on the walls and then the magic happened:  Magic markers, colored pencils, pencils, crayons, rulers, and large sheets of white paper were put to work. Those blank sheets of paper became incredible dream houses, cities, and flowers. The wide age range of children is clear as they each gravitate to their respective developmental comfort zone.
Mr. Herb read and played games with the youngest  REAL kids while the others concentrated on their work.
