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 crayons, paper, clay)
Exposure to stories, music, and other art forms
Time to play and dream without structure



As we continue to enter the world of imagination, it is our key role to nurture this young imagination in preschool by creating a safe, open, and inspiring environment where children feel free to explore and express themselves. 


We will continue with our storytelling, open-ended art activities, creative play, and encourage language use.

Our goal is for the preschoolers to turn their ideas into poems, drawings, and imaginative play! Preschoolers will be guided as they work on building confidence, developing problem-solving skills, and laying the foundation for a lifelong love of creativity and learning.

Growth

This week we continue inquiring about our personal histories.  How much have we changed from when we were born to present. We posted the baby photos of all the preschoolers side by side with their current photos.  The students and teachers at school will guess, using the photos and looking for similarities who the preschoolers are.  We will then use these experiment to find out more about the concept of 'change' and 'development' in our unit.  We have also started collecting the pot flower that show the different milestones we have accomplished growing up.  They will talk about their personal stories to all the students in class.  We identified land and water forms and they realized that the water area is so much bigger than the land area!  As part of their history, we also have looked at the map and located the country they were born. From this, we looked at the bigger land area which is the continents that make up the land forms.  We identified ...

A week of celebration

This was a week of celebration.  We were able to watch the students performed their best during the Winter Concert at the MPR.  They danced and sang the Christmas Songs with confidence and pride.  At our Christmas Market, the preschoolers did their assigned responsibilities attentively.  They sat at the table and encouraged everyone to have their pictures taken at our *Perky Picture Perfect* booth.      A reason why ALL the preschoolers were on the nice list and got their presents from Santa!                Big smiles with Santa after receiving their presents. and we are all ready for our Christmas Break!  Enjoy our video,  A celebration of growth and change!   

How The World Works

PRESCHOOL ASSEMBLY What a beautiful way to end our unit on celebration, to start a new unit on growth, and to connect it to our unit on imagination. As we begin our new unit on how the world works, the preschool students went around the school premises to list down living things that they saw around them.  As their curiosity kicked in they got so excited and started thinking exactly what living things are.  At first, some characteristics they mentioned about living things were: move  eat drink grow drive cars talk take a bath more But what really is the difference between living and non-living things?  Back in the classroom, we revisited their list and narrowed down the characteristics of living things into these important traits: they eat and drink (food and water) they grow or change they reproduce (make new living things) They agreed that even if something is moving (like robots or cars) it doesn't mean that they are living things. Trees do not move but they eat, ...
