Our Beliefs Behind Our Behaviors, 7/7

4/7/2015

11 Comments

 
On our staff development day we spent time reflecting on our practices and our philosophy. Below are some of the questions that were given to the maestros to answer. The maestros brainstormed possible responses and were given opportunities to refine and reflect upon their answers.  Some of our maestros responded in English and others in Spanish; you can see their authentic responses below. There were twenty questions in total.  Here is the seventh set of questions:

Why is it important to document children’s learning and display evidence around the classroom?  ¿Por qué es importante documentar el aprendizaje de los niños y exponerlo alrededor del salón?


  • To show each child’s unique creativity. The child can observe their creation and others’ as well. Parents can see how their children work with materials given.
  • Shows gradual development and that our philosophy and what we believe in actually works.
  • Ayuda a animar a que los niños puedan lograr diferentes cosas y mejorar viendo la anteriores.
  • Para que los niños puedan ver que nosotros como maestras apreciamos su trabajo. Los papas pueden ver su trabajo.

Why do we have community events?  ¿Por qué tenemos eventos para la comunidad?

  • We want to create a sense of community between our families para que puedan conocerse entre familias para intercambiar comidas y culturas para enriquecernos como escuela.
  • Gives parents a chance to interact with their child and what their child has learned in schools.
  • Spread the word about our school and build relationships with the community.
  • Para crear un sentido de comunidad y que las familias se empiezan a conocer entre ellas.

Why do we have an imagination station?  ¿Por qué tenemos una estación de imaginación?

  • Para que los niños desarrollen sus ideas, sus habilidades y sus formas de pensar.
  • Para mi es un espacio donde ellos pueden agarrar sus materiales y crear su imaginación.
  • Para que dejen que su imaginación fluya y que no sean limitados en lo que puedan hacer.
  • Para desarrollar las habilidades intelectuales de los ninos inventando y creando nuevas cosas.
  • Para que los niños tengan la oportunidad de crecer su mente sin restricción o reglas.

    Pasitos School

    Pasitos is an eco-friendly, bilingual community based on learning and fun. Through a play based Reggio inspired curriculum, children gain the necessary literacy skills to make them successful in both Spanish and English. At the same time, they build social and emotional skills in working with peers and the maestras. Together these skills help open their minds and language capabilities. Teachers interact with the children to build strong academics and positive social skills.
