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.

Night of the Student Led Conference

Preschoolers practice for their upcoming Student Led Conference (SLC) by engaging in mock sessions with peers and teachers. These practices help the students build confidence as they learn to talk about their artwork, classroom routines, and personal growth.  Using the checklist prompted by visuals like portfolios and photo displays, preschoolers explain their learning journey in simple, meaningful ways.

During the actual Student Led Conference, preschoolers experienced a range of emotions. Some felt nervous facing their parents, while others were visibly tired or overwhelmed by the attention.  A few needed gentle support to stay engaged.

A Day with Nature

From the moment we arrived at Rokkosan Pasteur, excitement was in the air.   The weather was perfect, the animals were curious, and of course the preschoolers couldn’t wait to explore! The highlight of the day? Meeting the  kids —not the classmates, but the adorable baby goats! The students were able to  feed, pet, and even cuddle the goats, horses, sheep .
