How We Express Ourselves

 

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.

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...
