ANNUAL E.C.E EXHIBIT – THE ART OF BUILDING WITH CONSTRUCTIVIST LEARNERS

Using the ECE Sheva Framework, our little builders have created amazing projects that showcase their imagination and how they see the world around them.

Type of Exhibition: Art

In our Miles Nadal JCC ECE classrooms we use the Sheva Early Learning Framework to guide the environments to help foster a cohesive and natural approach to learning and engagement between educators and children. This foundation builds upon the notion that children and educators use the environment as the third teacher and the inspiration for their inquiry.

This year’s theme “The Art of Building with Constructivist Learners” takes the notion further by bringing the children’s inspirations and interpretations of their world into their work using loose parts (Reggio inspired approach) as their main materials. Using the ECE Sheva Framework, our little builders have created amazing projects that showcase their imagination and how they see the world around them.

The Seven (Sheva) Lenses within the Framework consist of:

  1. Masa: Journey (Reflection, Return, and Renewal)
  2. B’rit: Covenant (Belonging and Commitment)
  3. Hit’orerut: Awakening (Amazement and Gratitude)
  4. K’dushah: Holiness (Intentionality and Presence)
  5. D’rash: Interpretation (Inquiry, Dialogue, and Transmission)
  6. Tzelem Elohim: Divine Image (Dignity and Potential)
  7. Tikkun Olam: Repairing the World (Responsibility)

The children whose creations are exhibited range from ages 18 months to 12 years. These creations were all based on their initial interests. Educators observed and followed their lead as their projects took shape.
