Raising Innovative learners
Raising Innovative learners
If there is one common denominator amongst the world’s most successful entrepreneurs, it would be innovation. Not just in the sense of inventing a new technology or product, but finding creative solutions to age-old problems or a new way of looking at the world. Looking at it from another perspective, innovation is also key to business growth and sustainability. It’s the innovative entrepreneurs who keep their businesses ahead of the game and adapting to the world ahead of them. Being innovative isn’t a gift bestowed on a lucky few, but a muscle one needs to exercise as early as possible.

By encouraging curiosity around the house, we are in essence associating questioning positively. The more the children are exposed to new ideas and perspectives, the greater motivation they will have to continue learning and diving deeper into the subject. In general, encouraging children to ask questions and positively reinforcing their natural curiosity will give them a life skill that can set them apart in any given task. If we want our kids to think critically then we can help them by asking open-ended questions, giving them space to discover how things work, and develop their own hypotheses and ideas on the world around them.

Innovation does not come out of the blue, it requires some sort of inspiration to get things started. Much like we need fruits and vegetables for a healthy diet, young minds need healthy mental stimulation. Creating an environment where our children are exposed to inspirational sparks, whether it be literacy or nature, can get them hooked on seeking these triggers. Getting our children out on nature walks or encouraging them to read can give their young minds much needed mental stimulation. Any activity that requires utilizing all of their senses and thinking caps can shape their mindset for years to come.

Innovators are risk takers, they stood by their ideas when everyone else warned them otherwise. It takes more than a strong sense of self-confidence and positivity to take risks, it also requires a healthy relationship with failure. When our children face failure in their tasks, they can either learn from it and do better next time or let it overcome them, creating a self-fulfilling cycle that is difficult to escape. When our children go through difficult times or when they’ve made a decision that failed to pay off, we need to guide them to help realize there are valuable lessons to be had. This will help them develop a better grasp the concept of risk taking. This must be done at a healthy distance so they can come to this realization independently and better weigh their decisions in the future eventually gaining self confidence.

Self-confidence can make them positive thinkers who always look at challenges as problems to be solved versus obstacles that can’t be overcome. Even if they do fail in their attempts, they would look at failure as something to learn from, rather than be defeated by it.

NURSERY - STREAM - Pass the ball through tunnel
STREAM learning can support children's early math development and many other important skills. Young children enjoy exploring the world through STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading and research, Engineering, Art, Math). Games are Fun and they help learners to learn various skills . Our Nursery learners engaged to play games by using construction paper and a ball. They were told to construct tunnels with the help of construction paper on the floor. With anticipation, our learners waited to throw the ball. Once they got a clue from the teacher that without touching the tunnel, the ball should pass another tunnel, they were very careful to throw the ball and eager to see how ball is passing from one tunnel to another. Such learning engagements develop their engineering skills, emotions, creativity and social skills. Through this, they can learn essential skills such as problem solving, working with others, sharing and much more.

Our nursery learners used their artistic skill to make houses using their creativity and thinking skills. They were asked to draw a house with shapes. Learning shapes helps children identify and organize visual information. They drew a triangle as roof, then drew a big square joined with the triangle, they used small squares as window and rectangle in the center as a door. They followed the instructions and coloured it as per their choice. The final product was a beautiful house.

Our nursery learners were introduced to the square shape through a fun and play way method. The square topic began with reciting a rhyme - “ This shape has four same sides “ by imitating proper action. Square has same 4 sides and 4 corners too. Through Magic box some square shaped real objects were shown to them and a presentation related to square shape was showcased for the better understanding. They were asked to get square shape objects and saying its name like- this is square shape napkin. As they know the patterns of standing and sleeping lines, they drew square shapes independently and coloured it. They also learnt to compare different shapes and group similar shapes together.

Math - junior kg - Oval Shape
From an early age, kids notice different shapes even if they don’t know that the shapes have names. It takes longer for young children to learn the specific properties of each shape, such as the number of sides or how the shape looks. Giving pre-schooners lots of practice with shapes helps them solidify their understanding of the two-dimensional structures. That knowledge of shapes gives the young children an advantage in many areas of learning.

zumba
Children learn through physical and sensory experiences. To the young child, verbal language and movement are entwined. Thus, learning the art of dance helps young children develop knowledge, skill, and understanding about rhythm and music. Zumba not only helps children develop crucial motor skills, but also relaxes their mind and gives them an understanding of managing body movement. Our learners indulge in Zumba dancing regularly in order to keep their mind and body in optimum shape.
