PRESCHOOLERS and their FAMILIES

 

The FAMILY TREE helps the Preschoolers understand the relationship of each members of their family. This representation helps them understand the roles of the mother, father, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, and cousins play in their life history. 

The Preschoolers continued to inquire about the personal histories of their family. They worked on their own Family Tree and have started SORTING OUT information that they have gathered from the interview with their parents, discussions and their own knowledge about the members of their family. 


 

 

 



 



They have also made a visual representation of who lives in our home. 


Before the Golden week, they did a series mapping exercise. 
  • The place where they have lived or where they have travelled.
  • The place where mom and dad are from
  • The place where both their grandparents are from.



The Preschoolers gained basic information about what a map is for, importance of a map and what you can find in a map (written red and green). 

Then, the Preschoolers talked about their personal connection, what they notice and learned about personal events that lead to change (written in blue).


Next week, Preschoolers will continue to inquire about the events that lead to change, beliefs, cultures and traditions in their family.

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 ...
