All Modules 41-How Things Work - Module 2 | Page 4

4 How things work As we mentioned previously, the topic of the month serves as a provocation for the students to carefully observe the objects, persons, nature and other things that are found around them. Everything that surrounds us plays a role; from electronic devices to interpersonal relationships. Students are linked directly with this topic because since their very early ages they are exposed to different experiences and endless objects that they can benefit from. Just as with the topics presented during other months, “How Things Work” is, once again, a starting point toward different focuses: Where do we come from? How does the human body work? How do interpersonal relationships work? How do we communicate? How do these means of communication work? Teachers are invited to start creating a great network connecting with previously presented topics. Each one of these topics serves as a new provocation that invites both teachers and students to inquire, reflect upon, scan, ask, innovate, express, describe, and more; all these mind habits that are developed in the students along their pre-school experience. Also, through the projects suggested in Modules 3 & 4, the teachers will have the opportunity to incorporate the different areas for development in an exciting, interesting, and fun way; this will allow the students to integrate and further identify with the projects so that they can find a sense of why and what for, and how it all connects to them in one way or another.
