Hiba Nantong Nursery Back to School Day

In the fast-paced modern education landscape, Hiba Academy Nantong has always believed that education is not a solo performance, but a symphony co-composed by families and schools. Recently, a mathematics-themed Back to School Day event commenced. When parents reentered the campus as "learners," they not only stepped into their children’s daily classrooms but also witnessed an educational experiment exploring environment, discovery, and intrinsic motivation.

On the event day, parents donned "child-perspective glasses" and followed teachers into meticulously designed mathematics exploration zones. "The environment serves as pupils' 'third teacher.' We weave mathematical thinking into their daily experiences through intentionally prepared environments," explained Teacher Judy from Hiba Academy Nantong. This design philosophy stems from the developmental needs identified in Piaget's cognitive theory, particularly the "concrete operational stage" – where mathematics transforms from abstract symbols into tangible, modifiable real-world problems, making knowledge not mere content to be imparted, but fuel for pupils' self-driven exploration.

As the Back to School Day quietly concluded with the sunset, mathematical games in classrooms continued. Parents departed not only with smiling photos in their phones but also with a redefined understanding of education – true mathematics enlightenment lies not in prematurely memorizing arithmetic operations, but in nurturing pupils' observant eyes that detect patterns, their courage to embrace trial-and-error, and their endlessly curious hearts for exploration.

Hiba Academy Nantong has proven through its open classroom doors: When families and schools take root in collaborative education soil, and when environments become invisible mentors inspiring critical thinking, education becomes not just mere knowledge acquistion, but also to ignite the eternal flame of "I want to know why" in every pupil's heart.
