Inquiry in Action!

“Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.” – Chinese proverb


The Kindergarten students in Mrs. Kliger’s and Mrs. Vaid’s class have opened up their first ever Pizzeria. In Mrs. Rozen’s and Miss Fuentes’ class the students have been actively engaged in creating designs and patterns at the light table. The Kindergarten program is one in which our educators in the classroom help our students learn through play and inquiry. Studies have shown that through play, a child’s social, emotional and intellectual skills are developed. Through real-life contexts such as the pizzeria and exploration at the light table, students are learning many things. During play, students are actively communicating, expanding their oral and written language proficiency, developing number sense and developing creativity through art. Through the discoveries they make, their curiosity is peaked which creates an excitement for learning. It is evident there is a lot of excitement and learning in the kindergarten classes!
