Take Me Down to the Second Line - Workshop Three - "Do What Cha Wanna" (Word relationships)

Up and down; large and small; big and little; fast and slow. Learning about opposites is a great way for children to develop their critical thinking skills. This early exploration with comparison builds the foundations of a host of mathematical concepts, including understanding measurement, time, and spatial reasoning. Build understanding of these concepts during this week’s YALA Artsplay!™workshop, while we use our “footwork” in the second line parade.
