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.

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?

100th Day

  100th Day of School Why do we celebrate The 100th Day of School?  As the Enrollment Party at the beginning of the school year, 100th day of school is considered a big celebration and has been a tradition in Preschool.  This marks a great milestone in the children's school life.  It means that the students are halfway through the year! It is a celebration wherein they can highlight their progress and show how much they have learned through the year.   For Numeracy, they showed their skills in:  skip counting identifying numbers 1 -100 counting on to 100 pattern blocks For Literacy, they made a short story.   We also made our 100 Days Smarter hat.  We did not forget the movement part wherein we did, 10 different kinds of exercises   10 times each.  Can you guess the total?  Then the fun part of filling in the 100 chart with 100 collections they brought to school! Tamaki's 100 beans. Eisuke's 100 collections of gems, pencils, stickers and erasers. Clara's 100 beads. Yori

Working Together

TAKING ACTION The students are keeping in mind the importance of plants to all living things.  Plants - being the ONLY one that can make its own food, and Plants - being the ONLY one that gives us the air or oxygen to live. We have to do something to preserve the plants!   They started bringing all sorts of seeds to plant at school.  To watermelon seeds, onion stalks, flowers, grapes..  They chose a spot where the plants can get sunshine.  They dug the soil. Put in the seeds. And watered them. They did everything that the plants need in order to grow.    Students will take turns watering the plants daily.  Hopefully these tiny seeds will show us some sprouts before the end of the school year in Preschool.    HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES For the unit on How we express ourselves, the preschoolers used their imagination to create different art work on the ipad.  They chose their own  subject and used the different tools on the drawing app to represent it.  They they uploaded their works on se
