Power of Words

 


WORDS HAVE THE POWER
The power to...
change our perceptions, 
shape our beliefs,
create or destroy a person,
and ultimately... 
create our world.


The preschoolers ended the unit on 'Who We Are'. 
To sum up the inquiry, they are creating a 'Word Wall' or positive words. They thought of a word that is important or they value as a person and wrote it on a poster. 



As they painted their poster, they reflected on ways...
How this word can be useful for them. 
How this word can make other people feel good and happy about themselves. 
How they can share this word to people around them. 



 


It was surprising how the students came up with words that stuck to them during the span of our inquiry in this unit. Words that are not just limited to the IB's Learner Profile. 



We also looked at the posters created by the previous preschoolers. These posters made them realize that simple words from the heart can make anyone feel good and happy.

Night of the Student Led Conference

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...
