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.

PRESCHOOLERS and their FAMILIES

  The FAMILY TREE helps the Preschoolers understand the relationship of each members of their family. This representation helps them understand the roles of the mother, father, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, and cousins play in their life history.  The Preschoolers continued to inquire about the personal histories of their family. They worked on their own Family Tree and have started SORTING OUT information that they have gathered from the interview with their parents, discussions and their own knowledge about the members of their family.          They have also made a visual representation of who lives in our home.  Before the Golden week, they did a series mapping exercise.  The place where they have lived or where they have travelled.
