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...

A Day with Nature

From the moment we arrived at Rokkosan Pasteur, excitement was in the air.   The weather was perfect, the animals were curious, and of course the preschoolers couldn’t wait to explore! The highlight of the day? Meeting the  kids —not the classmates, but the adorable baby goats! The students were able to  feed, pet, and even cuddle the goats, horses, sheep . They were gentle and playful. Some preschoolers were a bit hesitant at first, but by the end of the visit, everyone was laughing and eagerly reaching out to connect with the animals. But this trip was about more than just the fun experience. The goal is to extend their learning about  animal care, natural habitat, and the effect of human to other iving things.  These experiences and observing how animals interact in a natural environment were learning in its most genuine form—engaging, memorable, and will have a long-lasting impact on their lives.    As the day came to an end, tired but happy p...
