Preschoolers Express Themselves


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.

    Ms.Faye, thank you! Maria asked a week ago or two to help with her favourite cheese pasta :) Actually she has been waiting for 2 years for my permission to use the stove, so we are all waiting to be taller to reach the height and use the stove independently. I hope her enthusiasm will last for so long :)))) Back to Nizhny Novgorod she used to cook during masterclasses for kids, enjoyed a lot, we miss that place.

How The World Works

PRESCHOOL ASSEMBLY What a beautiful way to end our unit on celebration, to start a new unit on growth, and to connect it to our unit on imagination. As we begin our new unit on how the world works, the preschool students went around the school premises to list down living things that they saw around them.  As their curiosity kicked in they got so excited and started thinking exactly what living things are.  At first, some characteristics they mentioned about living things were: move  eat drink grow drive cars talk take a bath more But what really is the difference between living and non-living things?  Back in the classroom, we revisited their list and narrowed down the characteristics of living things into these important traits: they eat and drink (food and water) they grow or change they reproduce (make new living things) They agreed that even if something is moving (like robots or cars) it doesn't mean that they are living things. Trees do not move but they eat, ...

Our Country

Know your country. Appreciate your culture.  It is important to know your country's culture to also understand who you are.  As young researchers, the preschoolers looked for information and facts about their country.  They looked at the flag and what it signifies, the population, the capital, food, and popular places. This activity helps them develop cultural awareness which is important as they begin to understand that they came from different backgrounds. Learning about their differences creates a sense of appreciation and respect with people different from them.  "We are better at football!" "Our food is better!" But, it is not a competition of which country is better in football, bigger in size, or which hair color looks better.  It is knowing that they are all here together to celebrate everyone's similarities and differences.    As they become knowledgeable about the bigger picture of their own culture, they also learn to relate better to one an...

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...
