1 Early Childhood Education FAM 1247 Creating an Effective Curriculum Presentation and Invitation Report Gurleen Kaur Professor: Stephanie Ray March 18, 2022

2 ● INTRODUCTION This presentation is built on activities that encourage children to engage in play-based learning. Children who engage in many activities grow intellectually, physically, and socially. There are various children- friendly activities included in this invitation. Children love to experiment with color, so our I decided to use a variety of paint techniques to create our presentation. Therefore, I chose to include these activities. This report will include the definition of invitation, materials and activity descriptions, age ranges acceptable for invitations, invitation principles, the four pillars of HDLH, reflection on invitation planning, and references. ● Definition of invitation for learning “A display of carefully chosen and placed objects that captures children's interest and immerses them in a world of wonder, exploration, and discovery is an invitation to learn. The educational outcomes are carefully and thoughtfully considered while designing the invitation to learn” (Creating Invitations for Learning, 2010). The invitation to learn is thoughtfully developed with educational goals in mind. ● Invitation and the age group it is appropriate for: The invitation that created is suitable for preschool-aged children. It is important to have a display that invites children to participate in any activity. The information will be supplied in this case as well so that kids can come and do the activity on their own. There will be a showcase of several works of art that require youngsters to participate. To make it easier for them, a sample of the work will also be shown to them. You can display a variety of activities, including tape painting, sponge painting, and water painting. Basically, an invitation to learn is a carefully selected and organized display

3 of items that grabs children's attention and involves them in a world of wonder, investigation, and discovery. So, the activities select will allow children to get attracted towards the activities and engage with them. ● Rationale for choosing this activity: The children’s interest is the reason this activity was chosen. Youngsters are very interested in colors and experimenting with new forms of art. These kinds of interesting activities keep children occupied and aid in their acquisition of new skills. The colors are mixed and matched by children and this is what preschoolers like to do pretty much. ● ACTIVITIES : Our group conducted four activities during the presentation. Basically, we created an art table which was appropriate for the preschoolers. Since preschoolers enjoy and engage more in the messy play painting was a good option to attract them and keep them engaged. Our group conducted the following activities: 1) Tape Painting 2) Sponge Painting 3) Shaving Foam Art 4) Painting Colors TAPE PAINTING Materials needed ● Tape ● Thick construction paper ● Paint Activity rationale:

4 Through shredding tape and painting, kids will learn about color blending, negative space, abstraction, small motor skills, patience, and following instructions. Simple items are used for this project which makes it a popular and most commonly used activity because of the simple setup and cleaning.This activity also helps children to develop eye hand coordination while working with shredding of tape and painting. SPONGE PAINTING Materials required: 1) Dish sponge (with one rough side) 2) Bright painting colors 3) Construction paper 4) Paper tray for pouring the color Activity rationale:  As, grabbing the sponge and holding it needs a grip which will help children to develop fine motor skills. Along with this, there are a lots of benefits of sponge painting such as experimenting and exploring with a new paint tool, sense of achievement and pride, colour recognition and sensory experience of exploring paint and paint filled sponges. SHAVING FOAM ART Materials required: 1) Shaving form 2) Liquid paint or food coloring 3) Bowl 4) Construction paper 5) Popsicle sticks
