Animal Exhibit

Behind the Scene
The Animal Exhibit

There’s a unique kind of magic that happens in the preschool classroom as we dive into the world of animals — the curiosity, the awe, and the joy of these young learners are contagious.

This week the preschoolers have been hard at work preparing for one of the most anticipated events of the year: The Animal Exhibit!

This isn’t your typical school project. This exhibit is a celebration of learning, creativity, and growth. It’s where our little learners transform into budding zoologists, conservationists, and storytellers — all in one.


Each child chose an animal to research. Of course, in preschool, research means lots of storytelling, play, guided discussions, and personal reading. They looked at where the animals live, what they eat, how they move, and what is special or unique about them. 


With animals selected, the creative fun began! Preschoolers built habitats, created their drawing of the animals, drew and are slowly completing the chiecklists for the exhibit.


More than just a classroom project, this exhibit is a joyful culmination of weeks of exploration, creativity, and discovery. 


It brings out the best in our children — their curiosity, their imaginations, and their confidence. 


Now that each child choise their animal, the classroom transformed into a busy art studio. Our classroom will always be filled with the rustling of paper, the squish of clay, the chatter of young voices sharing ideas — and yes, paints all over the floor! 


Enjoy the behind-the-scenes look at what went into preparing this incredible event.

Night of the Student Led Conference

Preschoolers practice for their upcoming Student Led Conference (SLC) by engaging in mock sessions with peers and teachers. These practices help the students build confidence as they learn to talk about their artwork, classroom routines, and personal growth.  Using the checklist prompted by visuals like portfolios and photo displays, preschoolers explain their learning journey in simple, meaningful ways. Practicing ahead of the actual conference allows them to feel prepared and proud to share with their families.  It fosters communication skills, independence, and a strong sense of ownership over their learning — all foundational for future academic and social success. 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...
