The key challenge at any pre-school is to keep the children immersed in their lessons; this is a challenge on which Wee Care focus and thus, is where the Art and Resource Specialist role is positioned. I design and sketch floor plans & layouts for set up of the playroom area weekly. I draw & construct the set up props and eventually put everything together. I think about ideas for the arts and crafts activities as to what the children can do and what they would learn from it and then create a sample and prepare the materials. I also draw up the charts where they do thinking activities like dress up the Dutch girl, sequence the story or size, categorizing shapes, objects or animals and so many more. I also help to take pictures of the children doing the activities for the whole week and edit them every once a week. I would create captions to describe what they are doing too. I do video editing at the end of every term.Major AchievementsDesigned & constructed dynamic playrooms for the children on a weekly basis based on weekly themes.Design & constructed daily holiday programmes during year-end (two week period),Designed & constructed props for year-end concert 2008.Skills Acquired Project managementTime managementFreelance for a Project in
