UNIT OF INQUIRY
Finally, we have revealed the names of the babies in the photos! 
To understand the concept that all living things go through the process of change, they answered the questions:
1. How were you able to find out correctly who the baby was?
Answers: 
because of the same eyes
same face
because of the smile
features
they looked very similar
...and the head is almost the same size.

2. Why did the others make the wrong guess? 
Answers: 
looks very different
the hair changed


They also started looking at the different life cycle of animals.

They inquired about Food Chain to understand factors affecting change. 
 



Next week, Preschoolers will continue researching about the different Life Cycles of Animals and the stages of the life cycle. We will also start observing the eggs in our incubator!

Changes

"Why are all people different?" -Tamaki- I think that this is one of the most difficult question a child can ask.  Even I couldn't find the correct or the exact answers to this. However, 'Guess the Baby' experiment shows that we, somehow all look alike at some stage in our lives - when we are babies.  We looked at the strip of papers and the names written. We found out that a lot of the guesses where wrong and mixed up. We asked some teachers and students and they had a difficult time guessing the babies.  "They all look alike!" was the common response that we heard. But, if we look closely and pay attention, we can see that, the same baby is still there. So today, we have revealed the names of the babies!  Look at their photos... THEN and NOW Tamaki "The shape of the face looks the same."   Ciel Not one person guessed Ciel.  Well, Ciel didn't even recognize his own photo!  Koh "He still looks the same."  Daisy "Her smile and

ENERGY IN PRESCHOOL

  FOOD CHAIN An order in which living things depend on each other for food. We have identified food as one of the things living things need to live.  This is the same for both plants and animals. However, we are not as lucky as the plants - they can make their own food!  The sun helps them make food through the process called ' photosynthesis'.   And because of this special power, plants are called producers. They start the food chain and transfer energy to the consumers. We have learned about the different animal groups and the preschool used their knowledge to create their food chain.    They chose one animal and using their knowledge about animals, they showed how animal get their food.  Next week, we will continue with our inquiry answering the question: How do animals go through a process of change?

DEFINING HISTORY

Personal History "Making your own story" - Perky Preschool - SEE THINK WONDER As a provocation for our new unit on "personal histories allow us to reflect on and celebrate growth and change", we did a ' See Think Wonder' Thinking Routine activity.  In groups, the students looked at photos related to the unit and wrote down things that they see, what they thought and wonderings that they may have.  This thinking routine was then used as a springboard to unlock our unit vocabulary words such as: personal, history, events, and change.   TIMELINE The students also completed a simple timeline that shows the past, present and future. As we inquire further in the unit, they will be able to gain more detailed knowledge about their personal history.  NUMERACY / LITERACY This week we also started with our math and reading stations. During the different station activities, each group will get a chance to explore different  concepts and activities that will help strengt
