In the hearth of what we do
'A child who reads will be an adult who thinks'
Jerome Bruner
The “instrument” book is a fundamental part of our educational proposal. We strongly believe that stories help to grow, stimulating the children to ask themselves so many questions and sometimes to find the answers. For this reason, on the occasion of the birthdays of children, the school has always proposed, in a totally optional way, the possibility of donating a book to the school by the family; thanks also to this precious contribution from families, the school currently hosts many volumes.
The 'Biblioteca' (Library) project was born from the need to reorder and catalog our books, so as to have their location clearer and be able to find them in the simplest way.
It also seemed precious to us to offer the possibility of borrowing books to children who have the opportunity to relive the many stories that we read at school even within the family environment, sharing this precious moment at home. The experience of the loan does not end, however, with the only pleasure of having the desired book even at home, but in fact stimulates in children the sense of responsibility: the book is delicate, precious and is of everyone, so it must be treated with care.
Just like in a real library, our books are cataloged, stamped and labeled; each label corresponds to a color, to each color a theme. The children actively participated in this important work of precision and care, guided by the valuable support of the municipal library “G. Zangrandi” by Galliera, who played a fundamental role in the success of this project.
Our library also offers a section dedicated to books in CAA
(Alternative Augmentation Communication) that uses symbols, or
images that represent the concepts that you want to express; these
symbols make it easier for children to facilitate communication, both to children and
have another mother tongue that to children who have diversity
communication (but usually to all children). It is therefore possible to use
CAA as an international language.
We have reserved an area dedicated to the parents of à, which offers different volumes of Psychologists, Pedagogists, Educators. It seemed useful to offer even some advice in a smaller and pocketable format and, ready to be consulted at the time of need: the educational pills, small brochures for great advice.
Our outdoor space offers countless educational opportunities to live, try and tell experiences and emotions that are difficult to reproduce in the indoor environments.
Thanks to these experiences, in fact, children are offered the opportunity to manipulate unusual objects already present in nature (leave, flowers, plants, stones, sand, mud, trees, grass).
These are materials that do not break, rather they are born, they die,
grow or dry up: they are part of life. All this helps the child to look
up from himself and from his own game, beginning to discover the other
by himself and the world. There are therefore many gains in terms of
learning.
The game is necessary for development, is the privileged tool for growth and maturation of the individual
The play helps the child to express himself spontaneously
For the
child represents a moment of pleasant knowledge, stimulates the ability
sensory and motor skills, but still a “work”, that is, an activity
that requires physical and/or mental effort.
The gaming, not being a real but simulated experience, is a source of learning.
The child, during childhood, relives the most stages in the games
highlights of the cultural human history:
crawling as a man,
hunting and hiding as man did in the wild,
breeding small animals like the nomads,
digging the land like the farmers of the prehistoric ages,
replying the same characters as the tribal state in group games.
Piaget was watching that the exercise games, the first to appear, are those repeated by the a child several times without ever getting tired.
