Tactile Art

Tactile Art

Tactile art is a way of exploring textures and an opportunity to incorporate sensory exploration in an artistic way. It is frequently used to teach the visually impaired about the world around them. Here our k1 students exercise their creativity by using working in the tactile art section of our art room. The feeling is of a Japanese Zen rock garden and students arrange different natural materials (feathers, shells, leaves, stones) to create their artwork. It's a time for the

Creation of Shadow and Light

The beautiful, initial exploratory results of working with light and shadow. Learning phrases such as, transparent and opaque lend new meaning to the child’s world. He realizes: “I am opaque and the light cannot pass through me! I do not make a pattern.” “It is like flowers on a sunny day!” Exclaims his little co worker who is placing objects and materials of different qualities on the overhead projector. It is in this natural dance that children find meaning on their world t

Recycle and Create

With our school's monthly recycling program, we invite families and staff to bring in materials to be recycled and repurposed for daily school use. Here the Pre-K class used recycled bottles as "paint brushes" to paint cherry blossoms for their art class last month. They learned about the seasonal cherry blossom trees and combined it with their recycling program lesson to create lovely art for their classroom. #oiscainternationalbangkok #kindergarten #Internationalschoolban

How learning to tell the time clocks benefit your children. There are many educational benefits to being able to tell the time. This is related to mathematics, the ability to skip count (5,10,15,20…) and familiarize with primary addition and multiplication.

Touching the Earth

Getting one's hands dirty is not always a negative thing. In this case, it is not only a part of learning good hygiene and how to clean hands properly and take care of oneself. But it is also part of our overall school ethos focusing on three major philosophes: "Planet Earth, Mindfulness and Awareness, and Kindness and Autonomy." Here students participate in their gardening class in a portion of one of our gardens. They planted the sweet potatoes and corn they themselves had

Ladies and Gentlemen, start your...Turtles!

At Oisca, we have a group of pet turtles. The students enjoy learning how to feed them, clean their pen, and simply observe them and their behavior - learning about nature as they go. From time to time, we take the turtles out of the their stable and allow them a chance to move about freely in Oisca Park. What better way to exercise the turtles then to have a turtle race?

It's Easy as 1-2-3!

Counting is part of OISCA’s preschoolers’ everyday life. They count when they go up and down the stairs, count fish in the aquarium, shoes on the shelves, and ants on the ground or turtles in the pond. Numeracy is the ability to recognize and apply math concepts in all areas of life. The children learn how to recognize numbers in the corn sensory bin and try to match a correct quantity of macaroni in each number. During this activity they play, they learn, they mess, and the

Children practiced their communication and fine motor skills in putting together their natural works of art. Students then had the traditionally ceremony of paying respect and the pouring of water for Buddha. Of course, no Songkran would be complete without the fun of water play. Water gun fights and a wat

Metamorphosis

Getting to know a hawk moth caterpillar. The children loved observing and getting to know how to properly handle a hawk moth caterpillar. They wait, excited to see it change into a cocoon and finally a moth. Most of us have fond memories of a jar captured caterpillar from childhood and its metamorphosis into a butterfly or moth. Teaching children with caterpillars informs them of the different cycles of life and the importance of every living thing on this planet. It is also

They Grow Up So Fast!

Just three short months ago many of my three year olds would have balked at the idea of kicking off their shoes and playing in the dirt. More than half of them would descend into a fit of panicked tears if their fingers so much as got a tiny bit of paint, soil, glue, or ink on them. Art projects would have to be meticulously executed. After each dip in paint, I would have to quickly usher them into the bathroom to wash the offended appendage and assuage their ruffled composu
