The city, as seen by the children ages four and five, begins with a reflection of the identity of their cities. The current issue of the “problem of the city” draws important considerations thus creating a diversity of ideas and reflections upon which to build theories and hypothesis, and later, change. The construction of the hanging city gives shape to the evolution of ideas where an identity is established.

| Houses |
Building the 'Hanging City' enables the houses to communicate, the community to interact, and the people to live cooperatively. The city, in the process of becoming, shows the relationships between what is real, and what is imagined. But the imagination paves way for the future.

The children became critical of their ides and thinking an at the same time, they became creative and imaginative. Some became resourceful while others were inventive. All the skills learned throughout the year stemmed from their contribution and involvement in the project. Thus, growth came naturally rather than forced.
If there is one thing I can say about the project this school year, it is filled with awesomeness. The children did great and the ideas that spun around the city are brilliant and cohesive. Teamwork at its best, for children four and five years of age. Kudos to everyone!

Ang ganda, lalo na yung mga imaheng dulot ng anino habang tumatama ang liwanag sa mga nakabitin na mga istraktura.
ReplyDeleteHi, minsan naiisip ko, ano kaya ang reaksyon ng mga tao kapag ang dalawang nilalang ay nagusap ng ganito, Tagalog na purong puro. Salamat sa komento, at alam kong maiiintindihan mo ang gawa namin ng mga estudyante ko.
ReplyDeletenice ung drawings remind me of my lil brother's sketch, nice ung idea ahh at ganda ng pagkakagawa pang exhibit
ReplyDeletekakaiba... kudos to the effort!
ReplyDeleteHello MEcoy, original ideas din siya. Well, the project was started in September pero nabuo lang siya by March. We had two presentations. Yung initial stage including the hanging houses, the water, and the boats underneath. Then yung final stage with electricity and currents, CCTV cameras, shooters and a school in the middle. Sobrang nakakapagod but worth it.
ReplyDeleteHi Senyor,
ReplyDeleteKakaiba nga at nang i- unveil ko yan for parents to see, lumipad yata ako sa ere sa tuwa. Ahh, uhhs, oohhs ang aking narinig. :)
So remarkable! And this is because of you. You inspired these children to do their best. Saludo ako kabayan sa yo at sa mga kiddos. They are lucky to have you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy! I have to be creative and inspiring so that the children will do the same. Ako kasi eh I challenge myself para hindi ako ma bore sa work. May plano na nga ako for next school year. :)
ReplyDeletein fairness sir Jonathan, super talented ng mga chikiting nyo :)) syempre mahusay ang kanilang guro eh. Kudos to all of you there!
ReplyDeleteTalented naman talaga yung mga bata, mana sa guro, yabang lungs. Kidding aside, I am humbled by their presence.
ReplyDeleteYou are so nice.Inspiring.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog.

Hello Izdiher, thanks and will do.
ReplyDeleteWow! Cant imagine na kiddos lang ang gumawa nyan. Hanging City. Ayos! magandang training para sa mga may fear of heights.
ReplyDeleteWalang problema sa fear of heights since the children thought of making adhesive shoes while traversing the bridges. The school in the middle of the city is designed for three subjects: to learn how to balance, to learn how to fish for survival and to learn how to ride a boat for travel. Kulang ang ilang months to totally understand the concept and bring it to reality. It was a future city, away from floods and bad elements.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pao!
Ohs and ahs talaga! They are very creative kudos to the teacher!
ReplyDeleteWhy "hanging city" by the way? Hindi naman ako nag skip read and nakuha ko yung "construction of the hanging city" but i'm still fascinated about thr idea to call it "the hanging city" (kulet ko sensya naman)
Hello Balut.
ReplyDeleteIt was called the hanging city because it is supposedly hanging from a huge cave with metal chains. The structure was a representation of that idea. Thailand was inundated by the flood when the children were in the lower grade so when they came up to my class, I used the idea of a flood artwork to motivate children to create a future city thus the hanging city came up.
