How We Express Ourselves

 

How We Express Ourselves is the Preschoolers year-long unit. 

In this unit, they will inquire on how "Culture can be expressed through various celebrations around the world." The unit will focus on the topics of traditions and special events as they find out the reasons for the celebrations and how they can express themselves through different forms of artistic expressions. 

Throughout this unit, they will learn about different PERSPECTIVES as they build on making CONNECTIONS to themselves, to others and to the world. They will continue to be THINKERS as they enhance their research skills. 

They will be KNOWLEDGEABLE, OPEN-MINDED and RISK-TAKERS as they explore different venues for self-expression.


Watch as the Preschoolers play "Jingle Bells" on the keyboard! 


And to tie in our unit on Choices, the preschoolers also did Role Playing. They created their own scenario and their dialogue.

Practicing ahead of the actual conference allows them to feel prepared and proud to share with their families.  It fosters communication skills, independence, and a strong sense of ownership over their learning — all foundational for future academic and social success. During the actual Student Led Conference, preschoolers experienced a range of emotions. Some felt nervous facing their parents, while others were visibly tired or overwhelmed by the attention.  A few needed gentle support to stay engaged. On the other hand, many confidently shared their work, explained clas...

Entering the world of imagination

Children use imagination to write poems and create artworks in wonderfully instinctive and unfiltered ways.  They are not constrained by thinking or grammar rules and truly believe simple things in life.  This kind of imaginative freedom allows them to create words and images that we might not even consider. They use personal experience and reimagine things. They write freely without filter and   mix real life with fantasy to create rich, expressive writing. They can use this form of writing to develop self-confidence and connections with themselves and others.  In Artwork, they use their creative imagination to create symbolic representation that we, as adults, could never have imagined.  Children represent the world how they feel it, not just how they see it.  Their artworks become a portal to an entirely new worlds. In this unit on  how we express ourselves,  preschoolers will be encouraged to use: Open-ended materials (like...
