PRESCHOOLERS and The Things They Value

Literacy: Writer's Workshop

The preschoolers wrote a personal narrative to tell a story about the important milestones and events that happened in their life. 

Following the Writer's Workshop, they planned, wrote a draft, edited and wrote the final story. 

 

 


Here is the finished book ready for publishing!

Unit of Inquiry (UOI)
Celebrations, Cultures, Values, and Beliefs

The Preschoolers explored different celebrations. During the picture walk, they signed up their names on the ones that they celebrate with their family. 

 

We even played charade and acted out words that are connected to our topic! 
The preschoolers had so much fun!

COAT OF ARMS
... The shield of our family...
... The symbol of things that we value in our family...


The Preschoolers initially created a word cloud of ideas. These words are to what they believe are things that are important in their family. They then chose the top five and drew a symbol that will represent it. 


 

This activity was a great opportunity for the students to reflect on their own perspectives about their own family. It made them think and realise through their experiences and relationship with their family, the value that will influence them as they grow and change.

The common values that we all share in our Preschool Families are:
love, food, family, education, sharing, caring, and sports! 

It only shows what a balanced individual Preschoolers would become in the future!

Check out our Preschool SEESAW for a close up photo of their COAT OF ARMS.

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!

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...
