 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.

PRESCHOOLERS and their FAMILIES

  The FAMILY TREE helps the Preschoolers understand the relationship of each members of their family. This representation helps them understand the roles of the mother, father, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, and cousins play in their life history.  The Preschoolers continued to inquire about the personal histories of their family.
