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.

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, ...

Our Country

Know your country. Appreciate your culture.  It is important to know your country's culture to also understand who you are.  As young researchers, the preschoolers looked for information and facts about their country.  They looked at the flag and what it signifies, the population, the capital, food, and popular places. This activity helps them develop cultural awareness which is important as they begin to understand that they came from different backgrounds. Learning about their differences creates a sense of appreciation and respect with people different from them.  "We are better at football!" "Our food is better!" But, it is not a competition of which country is better in football, bigger in size, or which hair color looks better.  It is knowing that they are all here together to celebrate everyone's similarities and differences.    As they become knowledgeable about the bigger picture of their own culture, they also learn to relate better to one an...

Understanding Culture

  What is CULTURE?  This week, we have broken down the different aspects of culture.  COUNTRY Firstly, we identified the country they are from.   They were tested on their knowledge of their flag. It was amazing to know that a lot of them know what their flags look like.    The color, symbols, and shapes that go with it.  We will continue to inquire by also understanding the features that the flag represent. The colors, symbols, the shapes. For our transdisciplinary connection in math, preschoolers will go around the school to conduct a survey. We will find out information about the people at DSKI and how these affect our school's culture. With their partner, they thought of different questions that they would like to ask their respondents.  They will survey the following questions: Where (country) are you from?  What celebration is important for you and your family? What is the traditional food in your country? What clothes do you like ...
