PRESCHOOLERS collaborate





UOI AND MATH INTEGRATION

Collaboration is when people work together, cooperate, share ideas, knowledge and skills to help each other learn and finish a task. 

This week, preschoolers did a lot of activities wherein they collaborated, either with a partner or a group. 
Collaboration helps them develop social skills as they learn to problem solve and make good decisions for the task to
be successful.

Through Rotation math tasks the preschoolers practiced and developed different skills in counting, number recognition, number bonds, and addition.


Worked on counting and number recognition to 10s


One to one correspondence to 20s

 


Number Bonds

They also played Addition Snakes and Ladders too! 



As part of our Tuning In, Perky Preschoolers also came up with their own definition of the words Choices, Personality and Character for our unit.




FIELD TRIP TO TOHO
They were given an opportunity to decide what to eat for lunch. They were given 500¥ to buy their choice of food. See some of the food they bought.

  

  

  

We tallied and made a summary of Perky Preschoolers Food Choices:
Vegetables: 0
Meat: 1
Sugar: 16 
Fruits: 1
Drinks: 3
Grains: 5

Next week, Preschoolers will be Finding Out more about different food groups and healthy choices in food.

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. Practicing ahead of the actual conference allows them to feel prepared and proud to share with their families.  It fosters communication skills, independence, and a strong sense of ownership over their learning — all foundational for future academic and social success. 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. On the other hand, many confidently shared their work, explained clas...

Field Trip

FIELD TRIP Children who experience a holistic development during their younger school years grow up to become global citizens.  Taking the students out of the classroom  is important because it provides a balance between indoor and outdoor activities. It prepares them for what it is like in the real world.  As part of our unit on How The World Works which focuses on the science of living things, the preschoolers went out on a field trip to Rokkosan Pasture. In here, the students were immersed and had access to a different environment,  the farm habitat together with the animals who live there.  They experienced interactive learning by feeding and getting up close with these friendly and hungry goats. They observed how the animals shared space and played inside their homes. They were able to make connections on how they, as preschoolers socially interact with one another inside the classroom.   The parents who joined the trip also became the teachers a...
