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...

Understanding Culture

  What is CULTURE?  This week, we have broken down the different aspects of culture.  COUNTRY Firstly, we identified the country they are from.   They were tested on their knowledge of their flag. It was amazing to know that a lot of them know what their flags look like.    The color, symbols, and shapes that go with it.  We will continue to inquire by also understanding the features that the flag represent. The colors, symbols, the shapes. For our transdisciplinary connection in math, preschoolers will go around the school to conduct a survey. We will find out information about the people at DSKI and how these affect our school's culture. With their partner, they thought of different questions that they would like to ask their respondents.  They will survey the following questions: Where (country) are you from?  What celebration is important for you and your family? What is the traditional food in your country? What clothes do you like ...
