Teaching Strategies:
1. Telling, Explaining & Informing- information such as the name of things,
facts, and customary behaviours are learning through social interaction
2. Invitations- Motivates children to try activities

Reflection:
What went well
- All children participated
- All demonstrated an interest
- They were familiar with the activity
What didnt go well
- Ate the tissue paper/glue
Learned
- That children have a major interest for open-ended art activities
Next time
- Use a thicker material instead of tissue paper to avoid or at least
control the eating issue
Extending
- Incorporate multiple items to glue onto the paper
