Ms. Faye's Perky Preschool Blog

This week, preschoolers ended the unit 'Who we are'. They have created posters with positive message to raise awareness about good choices.  'When you make good choices, you will be happy." Anton "If you give you give up, you will be sad." Amalia "Pushing makes people sad." Haruka   "Making good choices make people kind." Tsubasa "Use your brain to think." Lilli   " I will not give up!" Timo  "To solove a problem, go to another games, talk it out, share and try again, ignore it, walk away." Keigo   "We can never do things if we give up." Evah "Every problem has a solution." Shun " I like to make good choices." Maelle They went around the school and shared their message in the poster and answered some questions.     The preschoolers also planned and prepared their lunch. They realised that their choices have changed and now choose healthier food.              Let us continue making...

UNIT OF INQUIRY  Who We Are Choices As preschoolers continue to inquire about the unit, they ask people around to FIND OUT the answers to their wonderings. Questions they asked are as follows: What is a PROBLEM? What are CONSEQUENCES? Why do we need to make good choices? Why do people make poor choices? What will happen if we continue to do poor choices?       The responses were written here. Next week, the Perky Preschoolers will talk about the responses and will go deeper in their understanding of the value of choices in one's self. UNIT How do we express ourselves ARTS  (LINES and COLORS) How do we express ourselves through visual arts? Perky Preschoolers started exploring lines and colours through water color painting. Using the crayon resist technique, they express themselves and created beautiful and colourful designs.         Please see their finished art works to be posted on their SEESAW.

  How We Express Ourselves is the Preschoolers year-long unit.  In this unit, they will inquire on how "Culture can be expressed through various celebrations around the world."  The unit will focus on the topics of traditions and special events as they find out the reasons for the celebrations and how they can express themselves through different forms of artistic expressions.  Throughout this unit, they will learn about different PERSPECTIVES as they build on making CONNECTIONS to themselves, to others and to the world. They will continue to be THINKERS as they enhance their research skills.  They will be KNOWLEDGEABLE, OPEN-MINDED and RISK-TAKERS as they explore different venues for self-expression. Watch as the Preschoolers play "Jingle Bells" on the keyboard!  And to tie in our unit on Choices, the preschoolers also did Role Playing.  They created their own scenario and their dialogue.
