WRLogo-Online200px-RedThe Walker Rezaian Creative Hearts program allows kindergartens to develop a deep understanding of lines, shapes, colors, and friendship. In this early class, we work on fine motor control as we design sculptures of 3D lines complete with colorful bead patterns.
Students gain their first experience with observational drawing, which is a fundamental component of the program. They learn to look closely and document their work with their drawings.
This year, the Walker Rezaian project has expended to two sites! Thank you to our generous donors.

Teachable moments were embraced: how do you share one bucket with a group of friends? What happens when two people want the same shiny bead?
