The world is full of animals, and this session lets students increase the population and enhance their creative practices! Students will learn to use cursive handwriting skills and turn their name into creative mythical creatures or insects, while also learning to recognize shapes and images that are symmetrical. Students will use color to enhance their designs and patterns to distinguish parts of the creature. The animal kingdom just got a bit more mythical!
