Curriculum Overview
This language arts unit focuses on modes of expression: wish, wonder and surprise. Your child will explore wish, and the different ways it can be experienced. They will be led to understand it in its deepest expression, as an ideal, a view of how things could be, an intimate prayer or a vision longing to be manifested. Your child will become conscious of the expression of wonder, also known as curiosity or admiration. They will experience how this can be felt in different ways in their inner life. They will explore the expression of surprise, or astonishment. Again, there are different ways that this expression can be experienced inwardly, and this exploration will help your child begin to map out the contours of their inner life. Through reading aloud, recitation, discussion, interpretation, composition, presentation of new literary devices, and artistic endeavours, your child will delve deeply into expressions of the human soul while being held safely within the parameters of language arts.
