Preschoolers are Upbeat!

This has been an upbeat week for the Perky Preschoolers! 

UNIT OF INQUIRY

This week the Preschoolers are FINDING OUT more about how roles and responsibilities make organisations run smoothly. They have shared their own roles and responsibilities at home. They have also introduced to the class the different members of their family. 

We have also invited Oxana Merineau to come and share with the preschoolers the amazing roles and responsibilities af a HOUSEWIFE and a MOTHER. 

 

 

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Today preschoolers had their first IT lesson. They were taught the proper way carrying, returning and taking care of the laptops. 

They were also introduced to SEESAW! Mr. Huber came in and showed the preschoolers how to log-in in their account. They were excited to see some of the works that were uploaded in SEESAW. 


MUSIC
In Music, the Perky Preschoolers explored different percussion instruments such as drums, clapper, wood and stick. They also looked at the concept of BEATS - which is the steady pulse that you feel in the tune, like a clock's tick. It is something that you would naturally clap or tap your foot to.

Enjoy the video of Perky Preschoolers echoing the BEATS on their drums. 



Here are some photos of Perky Preschoolers in action!

    Maria is proud of having IT. Every time she says that she has made and sent me the pictures. But I don’t know where to find them( I guess, parents will have the access later.

    What an amazing music session, Ms.Faye! Thanks for the video. I have always wanted to learn to play drums and to have one at home. So I’m jealous so much)) I want to be your student.

Growth

This week we continue inquiring about our personal histories.  How much have we changed from when we were born to present. We posted the baby photos of all the preschoolers side by side with their current photos.  The students and teachers at school will guess, using the photos and looking for similarities who the preschoolers are.  We will then use these experiment to find out more about the concept of 'change' and 'development' in our unit.  We have also started collecting the pot flower that show the different milestones we have accomplished growing up.  They will talk about their personal stories to all the students in class.  We identified land and water forms and they realized that the water area is so much bigger than the land area!  As part of their history, we also have looked at the map and located the country they were born. From this, we looked at the bigger land area which is the continents that make up the land forms.  We identified ...

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!

How The World Works

PRESCHOOL ASSEMBLY What a beautiful way to end our unit on celebration, to start a new unit on growth, and to connect it to our unit on imagination. As we begin our new unit on how the world works, the preschool students went around the school premises to list down living things that they saw around them.  As their curiosity kicked in they got so excited and started thinking exactly what living things are.  At first, some characteristics they mentioned about living things were: move  eat drink grow drive cars talk take a bath more But what really is the difference between living and non-living things?  Back in the classroom, we revisited their list and narrowed down the characteristics of living things into these important traits: they eat and drink (food and water) they grow or change they reproduce (make new living things) They agreed that even if something is moving (like robots or cars) it doesn't mean that they are living things. Trees do not move but they eat, ...
