THE 100 LANGUAGES

Imagine believing that children have the ability to express themselves in more than one way. Now times that by 100! There are "infinite ways that children can express, explore, and connect their thoughts, feelings, and imaginings."

The languages of children (the hundred languages) are often expressed through drawing, painting, writing, singing, dancing, sculpting.

At Olive Trails RBKIS, children are provided many opportunities to work through their ideas. They are encouraged to depict their understanding of the world and their ideas through various representations. They are encouraged to revisit their representations later and if their work does not reflect what they thought it should be, they change it!

A beautiful poem on 100 languages given by Loris Malaguzzi-
