Creative Arts It's the most wonderful time of the year - for artistic expression! Preschoolers at The Nest are always involved in arts and craft projects, especially in December as we celebrate the Advent season and Christmas. However, art is more than just coloring sheets and step-by-step projects. This article from Michigan State University explains how the creative arts encompasses multi-intelligence in our preschoolers.
Featured above are (from left to right) Caden, Bernadette, and Mary from St. Francis of Assisi School proudly displaying their beautiful angel crafts. In the Classroom Building fine motors skills is one of the many benefits of completing art projects in the classroom. Featured above are (clockwise, left to right) Owen, Ellie, Gabriel, and Raine from Holy Spirit pinching small papers onto contact paper for a see-through creation.

Prayer A Christmas Blessing
May love come alive within your heart, As Christmas time draws near. May hope fill each room you decorate, And bring joy to those you hold dear. May peace be before you at every meal, And faith ring through every song. For Christ is alive, the light of the world, May he bless you all season long. Amen.
