How the World Works

Starting next week, Preschoolers will dive into inquiring on 'How the World Works'. An inquiry into the natural world (physical and biological), its human societies and human's impact on the environment.

We will be looking at the Central Idea that all living things go through a process of change.

Through the process, they will continue to be thinkers and researchers as they find answers to the Lines of Inquiry on patterns of growth, stages of a life cycle and factors affecting change. They also will develop their research, thinking skills and gain deeper understanding on the concepts on causation, change and responsibility. 

These Essential Questions will guide and frame the preschoolers' inquiry     on the unit.

1. What are the stages of the life cycle of a....?

2. What are the different patterns of growth?

3. How does human societies affect all other living things?

4. What are some ways where we can change the natural pattern in the environment?


A time for science and exploration for the preschoolers. A fun and exciting unit to start the year!

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...

Meet the Animals

Students have been actively engaged in preparing for our upcoming Animal Exhibit, showcasing their learning through research, creativity, and collaboration. Each student selected an animal of interest, explored its habitat, diet, and unique adaptations, and created a visual display to share their findings. This week the preschoolers worked in teams to group animals according to their natural habitats—such as grassland, fresh water, polar region, ocean, and forest.  Together, they collaborated to research the features and designed a small-scale habitat that reflect the unique features of each ecosystem. This group project fostered teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity as students and teachers combined their knowledge and ideas to create cohesive, informative, and visually engaging designs.  The final displays beautifully showcase both the diversity of animal life and the power of collaboration. As part of the preparation, preschoolers will practice presentation skills and t...
