New World International School - Method
Policy
New World International School will ensure the following for your children:
- A safe, happy and loving environment.
- Understanding that your child is unique and giving an appropriate curriculum and suitable encouragement.
- Opportunities for feelings of success and inspiring a desire to learn about new things.
- Provide education (math, language, knowledge) through play and fun activities.
- Gain a variety of experiences, develop self-esteem and learn to respect others.
Curriculum
Social Skills:
- Learn how to share, take turns and care about each other.
- Build up self-confidence by doing things yourself and doing classroom chores.
- Asking for help when needed.
Creativity:
- Provide a wide variety of tactile experiences & sensory play to develop their five senses (sand play, water play, play dough, slime, finger painting and texture awareness).
- Small muscle control and eye-hand coordination (knitting, hammering, waving)
- Experimenting with a variety of art forms (painting, coloring, pasting, cutting, twisting, folding)
- Self-expression of feelings through singing, dancing and acting
Language:
- Develop basic language including vocabulary (calendar, weather, actions, emotions, animals,etc.) and grammar. Basic classroom English will be promoted and students will be expected to use full sentences (not 'Toilet, please.' but 'May I use the toilet?')
- Develop public speaking skill (questions and answers, Show and Tell, etc.) to build confidence and help students learn to express themselves in front of friends.
- A rich reading program will develop reading skills through four stages (Alphabet Awareness, Emergent Reading, Early Reading, Transitional Reading). Phonics, rhyming, word families and high frequency words will be central elements of learning how to read.
- Poem/Story time (predicting, summarizing, understanding cultures)
- Writing program (scribbling, drawing, journals)
Lunch time is a great time for interaction between children and teachers and will greatly encourage language growth.
Physical Development:
- Develop gross motor skills (balance beam, playing at park, mat play)
- Develop fine motor skills (scissors, drawing, toys, jigsaw puzzles, sewing)
- Learning about hygiene (washing, changing, toileting)
- Learning about safety (emergency drills)
World Around Us:
- Learning about nature and all its creatures
- Learning about food and where it comes from
- Learning about numbers through math and through real objects
- Learning about other cultures and customs
With the above goals in mind, New World International School will provide your children warm, caring environment in which they can learn more about themselves, other people and the world around them. The physical skills, social skills and knowledge they gain here will help prepare them for their future lives in elementary school and beyond.
