Creative Imagination Schoolhouse
This past year, our young pixies and stars have been immersed in learning about bugs and insects. In our neighborhood walks they noticed the timidity of little bugs and insects crawling and and flying
everywhere around us. Their favorite ones are the rollly pollies or they love to call them pill bugs!
We began to ask questions like, how many legs do they have? Or why are they called rolly pollies or why do they turn into a ball when picked up? The curiosity was endless and so we embarked on a learning adventure.
First we started with our mind, mapping things we already know about rolly pollies, then we made a list of of all the questions we have that we wanted answers and lastly, discussed a special project we want to do about rolly pollies.
The full exploration went on for weeks but this kind of curiosity stemmed from endless outdoor exploration and adventure during our play and observations. Along the way of our learning, we also learned about butterflies and spiders. Such curiosities are a regular activity in our program. A topic that gets extended all the time. We love it and the children thrive!
