Kindergarten Journey🥰

My little school girl💖😘

In our Kindergarten the emphasis is on learning through doing, and the children are active in work and play, song and movement. Every effort is made to make our Kindergarten a warm and home-like environment for the children. Great care is given to the development and nurturing of the children’s senses, their organs for learning. All the materials are part of life and the room has a balance of color, form, simplicity and purpose. Much learning takes place, but it is through imitation and example rather than through instruction. The children are learning about life at this age rather than about the specific subjects of academic work.

The teacher plays a central role, and through her example the children enter into the life of the Kindergarten deeply. They experience the regular rhythm of each day’s activities, be they household work, arts or crafts. They are led into the yearly rhythm of the seasons with their many colors, moods and activities. The teacher introduces them to song, movement, gesture and verse in the daily activity of “circle time.” The children drink in the world of stories, both nature tales and appropriate fairy tales, which are usually told to them through the oral tradition. The children come to know and love the Kindergarten world and through it, the wider world around them.

1.Play:
Play is the quintessential activity of children. It is the serious work of childhood. In play, children learn to experience the possibilities of life. Although play may need some guidance and teacher input, for most children play comes naturally and their swiftly growing bodies require it for healthy development. Through play, children create the world anew each day, and try on every imaginable situation within it. They build houses and ships, rockets and fire engines. They explore life in homes and farms, forests and mountains, underwater and in outer space. All of this is initiated by the children, with occasional help from the teacher. They create their play worlds using the simplest of materials, such as logs and stumps, stones and shells, cloth and play stands. In the course of play their growth in all areas is stimulated – physically, emotionally and socially, mentally and spiritually. As has been confirmed by a growing body of research, such open-ended imaginative play that comes out of the child’s inner life and capacities lays a foundation for imaginative and lively thinking in the adolescent and adult. It also stimulates an interest for all aspects of life, which can then be cultivated through academic studies in the elementary grades and beyond.

2.Activity/Movement:
Children need to move their whole bodies! The majority of toys, and furnishings in the Kindergartens are those that encourage large scale activity and play, and the children are thus engaged for a good portion of the morning. This propensity to move is also recognized in having the children set the table and clear it, or in moving their own chairs to form the story time circle, and in the accompanying gestures for circle time songs and poems – a tree is not just a tree, it is arms outstretched above one’s head.

3.Learning Readiness:
In our Kindergartens, academic learning is not stressed; rather it is felt that such learning would be at the expense of the healthful unfolding of the best qualities and capacities of the child. However, learning readiness activities are, in fact, intrinsic to the curriculum. Social skills are developed through all the activities in the Kindergarten – for example, interactive play, baking bread and circle time. Fine motor skills are developed through beeswax modeling, crayoning, painting, fingerplays, lacing shoes and buttoning oneself, and cooking activities. Larger motor skills are developed through the type of indoor play that is encouraged, through various cleaning activities, and through outdoor play. Circle time, songs, nursery rhymes, puppet shows and the oral traditional of the teacher’s storytelling develop listening skills and memory, cultivating in the child a feel for language and the world of words. Along with creative play these aspects of the kindergarten life also strengthen the power of imagination. Similarly, counting games, building, and rhythmic activities build a solid foundation for numbers and spatial relationships. The animal stories and nature table, along with a general cultivation of a sense of wonder, engender in the child an unconscious appreciation for the sciences which the child will discover later. Everything presented must be true in its essence.

Kids say their self-esteem gets a boost when adults reward their small, everyday achievements.

•Seeing My Grown Daughter Happy Fills My Heart with joy
frustration, pride, worry, heartbreak—they all play a role in the drama that is motherhood.

*Celebrate the Small Achievements:
While you look over your goal list, recognize the school accomplishments that you were able to make and celebrate these wins, regardless of how small. It’s sometimes easy to see the big wins, such as awards, amount of curriculum covered, and milestones met. What can be overlooked, however, are the less obvious but no less meaningful successes. Recognize the acts of friendship, perseverance, and fortitude that occurred throughout the school year. Look at the individual growth you discovered while assessing current skills and share that celebration with the student. While a school year may seem long, it’s made up of thousands of tiny moments that set the tone for the year.

•Seeing my daughter's everyday achievement in school it makes me happy, it makes my everyday inspiration as well.
