Middle School Roundtable
A note from Deb Engle, Middle School Representative:
The first Middle School Round Table was held at Chariho Middle School on November 10, 2009. Art teachers, as well as class room teachers, took part in a "Brain Gym" workshop taught by Nancy Sherman, a licensed Brain Gym instructor and special education / music teacher working in the Chariho District. Participants were taught a system of using simple movements that stimulate brain function to enhance the ability to learn.

The Story in the Picture: Inquiry and Artmaking with Young Children
by RIAEA member Christine Mulcahey, with Foreword by Maxine Greene
Co-published with Teachers College Press, this book looks at the work of a variety of artists and demonstrates that using fine art reproductions in the early childhood curriculum allows children to construct their own meanings, teaches diversity, fosters thinking skills, and encourages storytelling. The author, a professor at Rhode Island College and a preK-5 art specialist, includes lesson ideas, examples of activities, and photographs of children working and interacting with one another and with works of art. Based on the NAEYC and NAEA standards, this educator-friendly resource provides:
• Numerous examples of open-ended arts experiences using reproductions of fine art from many different genres, periods, cultures, and sources.
• Art concepts to be used with children according to their developmental readiness.
• Easy-to-implement lesson ideas designed to encourage educators to create their own to fit in with their regular early childhood curriculum.
“This book has the capacity to have a profound impact on how art is viewed by educators by changing the art experience from one of insignificance to one that contributes greatly to the cognitive growth of the child.”
—Sharon Shaffer, Executive Director, Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center
120 pgs. (2009) ISBN 0-8077-5007-7
Regular: $20.00
