Preschooler's VOICE

RESPONSIBILITIES (Family)

Brainstorming

This week, the preschoolers talked in detail about the members of the families. After the family picture 'Tuning In' activity, the preschoolers reflected on the other responsibilities of each member: mother, father, brother, sister and 'me'.

They realized that everyone in their home has their share of responsibilities. They also noticed that even if they belong to different families, every members' responsibilities are mostly the same.

Understanding ROLES in the family through STICK PUPPETS

They showed creativity, collaboration and critical thinking by using stick puppets. They expressed their 'voice' and put them in the ROLE of the creator. They used the puppet sticks to make a simple short story (scenario) to show everyones' role and responsibilities when planning for a family activity.

Next week, Preschoolers will move on and look into the School's Community.

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...
