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.

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...

Entering the world of imagination

Children use imagination to write poems and create artworks in wonderfully instinctive and unfiltered ways.  They are not constrained by thinking or grammar rules and truly believe simple things in life.  This kind of imaginative freedom allows them to create words and images that we might not even consider. They use personal experience and reimagine things. They write freely without filter and   mix real life with fantasy to create rich, expressive writing. They can use this form of writing to develop self-confidence and connections with themselves and others.  In Artwork, they use their creative imagination to create symbolic representation that we, as adults, could never have imagined.  Children represent the world how they feel it, not just how they see it.  Their artworks become a portal to an entirely new worlds. In this unit on  how we express ourselves,  preschoolers will be encouraged to use: Open-ended materials (like...
