MUSIC AND ART
Music & American Sign Language (ASL)
Our daily Music and American Sign Language class gives children a joyful, engaging way to learn through sound, movement, and visual language. Through singing, rhythm, instruments, and simple ASL signs, children strengthen listening skills, coordination, and expressive communication. Pairing music with sign language supports language development for all learners, reinforces early vocabulary, and helps children express themselves confidently—often before they can fully use spoken words. Most of all, music and ASL create a fun, inclusive environment where children can connect, participate, and learn together.
ART ENRICHMENT
At Wesley Day School, our Art Enrichment class provides children with meaningful opportunities to explore creativity, self-expression, and fine motor development. Offered twice each week, this class introduces children to a variety of age-appropriate materials and techniques, such as painting, drawing, sculpting, and mixed media.
Our focus is on the process rather than the product--encouraging children to experiment, make choices, and express their ideas confidently. Through guided projects and open-ended exploration, children build foundational skills while developing imagination, problem-solving, and pride in their work. Art Enrichment supports each child’s natural developmental stage while fostering creativity in a joyful, supportive environment. We also study artworks by several of the master artists. We have talked about Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat, Mandolin and Guitar by Pablo Picasso, and Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.
