PRESCHOOLERS practice SELF-MANAGEMENT

 UNIT OF INQUIRY

Preschoolers are GOING FURTHER in their INQUIRY about Roles and Responsibilities. 

They are making sure that they have enough information and questions are answered. They used several resources such as books, videos and pictures to find the answers. 

 

 

 


They have also started with their project. They are writing their informational book and will launch their First Publishing Party and interview with the Author. 

 


CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING IN NUMERACY
Preschoolers is now starting to see and understand the relationship and interconnectedness of numbers in different ways. Using different manipulatives, they are able to make their thinking visible. This also enables them to fully grasp the concept of numbers. 

How do we support Conceptual Understanding? 
SENSE MAKING. Preschoolers are asked questions and their explanation to show their understanding. 

MULTIPLE REPRESENTATION. They are able to show their understanding in different ways. This practice help them have a deeper understanding. 

SCAFFOLDING. By providing students differentiations and allowing them to manipulate the numbers within their current level of skills.

TIME. Conceptual understanding happens over time. They are developed after repeated practice and exposure. They need to struggle with the concept to fully understand the process. 

Here is a video of some Preschoolers showing their conceptual understanding. They are  showing different ways to make numbers.

Working Together

TAKING ACTION The students are keeping in mind the importance of plants to all living things.  Plants - being the ONLY one that can make its own food, and Plants - being the ONLY one that gives us the air or oxygen to live. We have to do something to preserve the plants!   They started bringing all sorts of seeds to plant at school.  To watermelon seeds, onion stalks, flowers, grapes..  They chose a spot where the plants can get sunshine.  They dug the soil. Put in the seeds. And watered them. They did everything that the plants need in order to grow.    Students will take turns watering the plants daily.  Hopefully these tiny seeds will show us some sprouts before the end of the school year in Preschool.    HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES For the unit on How we express ourselves, the preschoolers used their imagination to create different art work on the ipad.  They chose their own  subject and used the different tools on the drawing...

Our Family

Community is a place where people live together.  Our Family Our School Our Community The preschoolers identified themselves as an important member or these groups.  Roles are parts that everyone play. We have the Superheroes like Batman, Spiderman and other characters in movies.  But what are the things that they do? Those are their responsibilities. Just like us, we all have our responsibilities.  The Family Family is the smallest group in a community.  Some families are big. Some families are small. But they live together in the same house and do things together and take care of each other.   Using their puppets the preschoolers imagined and created a story of things that they did as a family. They had so much fun presenting in the class, changing their voices creating background sounds and simply telling their stories! We also played the Yes, No, Maybe corners where the students decided if they agreed or disagreed with the questions given to them about ...
