My First Painting!
I have included this learning story in my portfolio as it illustrates a child's creative exploration, self-expression, and cognitive growth through painting. This story captures the child's curiosity, concentration, and sense of achievement as they embark on their first painting experience. In my practice, I used this story to reflect on how children learn through hands-on exploration and how their interests can be cultivated through intentional artistic opportunities. Additionally, this learning story highlights my ability to observe, assess, and scaffold a child's learning while aligning with developmental frameworks to create an engaging, inquiry-driven environment. Including this in my portfolio reflects my dedication to fostering meaningful learning experiences that build children's confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills.
