A week of celebration

This was a week of celebration.  We were able to watch the students performed their best during the Winter Concert at the MPR.  They danced and sang the Christmas Songs with confidence and pride.  At our Christmas Market, the preschoolers did their assigned responsibilities attentively.  They sat at the table and encouraged everyone to have their pictures taken at our *Perky Picture Perfect* booth.      A reason why ALL the preschoolers were on the nice list and got their presents from Santa!                Big smiles with Santa after receiving their presents. and we are all ready for our Christmas Break!  Enjoy our video,  A celebration of growth and change!

HIS and HER story

What are the important things for us? Biography is a fascinating read for children. They love hearing stories about other people and making connections to how these people lived.  Biographies are fantastic ways to make children understand that everyone is different but at the same time, we also have similarities.  Since the preschoolers are emerging writers, the easiest way to motivate them is to write something about themselves.  With the support from all the conversations and discussions at home at school, preschoolers were able to learn a little bit about themselves.  They told their history through their biography.  It was a struggle and they realized that some of them can do it, but others still can't. But that's okay, it is all a part of growth and change.  They will continue working on it and try their best, but it will take time and in the end they might be able to celebrate another milestone - as publishers!

Celebrating Growth

Sorting Out our Personal Histories by inquiring about the other members of our extended family.  As we learn about the people in our ancestry, we will discover what, where, who of how it led to the preschoolers. They will see their connection with these people as to who they are and later learn a bit of information about them.  They will also unravel some of the common traits and abilities they personally have. This might have been influenced not directly by their parents, but could also be from the other members of their family.  The students are encouraged to explore their creativity when creating a visual representation of their Family Tree.  A solar system, garden, fruit-bearing tree, or the sky - they were risk-takers and took different ways to express their originality.  They have also worked on a Venn Diagram to explore similarities and differences among themselves.  By asking questions to their partners, they were able to learn more about each other...
