FESA Learner Story: Amy's Drawing

Jun 29, 2020

Today we want to share a drawing from one of FESA’s young learners: Amy.

We have received Amy’s drawing from Joanna, Amy’s mom. The drawing was made for Joanna as a gift for Mother’s Day. Amy is four years old and drew an angel mermaid with wings, just as beautiful and kind as her mom.

Drawing provides many opportunities for kids to build essential skills like fine motor skills, creativity, and hand strength. Along with helping their physical development, drawing provides opportunities for kids to use creativity and imagination; it also provides time to practice focusing on a single task and opportunities for decision making.

You can read all about the benefits of your child drawing here.

FESA acknowledges that the land upon which we work and call home is on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations (Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney), the Otipemisiwak Métis Government (Districts 4, 5, and 6), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.

 

We are grateful to work on the territory that situates Calgary, which is known as Mohkinstsis by the Blackfoot, Guts’ists’i by Tsuut’ina, and Wîchîspa by the Îyâxe Nakoda, as we endeavor to build a more literate and learning society allowing all to reach their potential.
