PRESCHOOLERS Ask BIG and SMALL Questions

 

In this unit on Where We are in Place and Time, the preschoolers continue to develop ATL skills as THINKERS and RESEARCHERS. 

A role of a researcher is to Ask Questions. 
Creating and asking questions help the preschoolers increase understanding as they gain more information and knowledge from others.

The preschoolers INTERVIEWED their classmates about the topic on 'myself'. They came up with their own set of questions to help them gain a deeper understanding of themselves and compare how their personal histories or experiences are either the same or different to others. 

To help them develop the act of creating good questions, we did an exercise on the process of creating BIG and SMALL questions. 

They each came up with their own questions and interviewed everyone in the class. 

 



 


They also shared their own'See How I Grew' sheet. This is an initial task to help the preschoolers understand how to create a TIMELINE. 

 

As they continue to develop, practice responsibility, show growth and change, Preschoolers helped the PTA plant in the DSKI garden. 

 


Next week, Preschoolers will continue FINDING OUT. 
They will work on TIME LINE and talk about starting a collection of memories: conceptually and physically to prepare them into creating their own TIME CAPSULE.

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...

Field Trip

FIELD TRIP Children who experience a holistic development during their younger school years grow up to become global citizens.  Taking the students out of the classroom  is important because it provides a balance between indoor and outdoor activities. It prepares them for what it is like in the real world.  As part of our unit on How The World Works which focuses on the science of living things, the preschoolers went out on a field trip to Rokkosan Pasture. In here, the students were immersed and had access to a different environment,  the farm habitat together with the animals who live there.  They experienced interactive learning by feeding and getting up close with these friendly and hungry goats. They observed how the animals shared space and played inside their homes. They were able to make connections on how they, as preschoolers socially interact with one another inside the classroom.   The parents who joined the trip also became the teachers a...
