PRESCHOOLERS are Performers

Unit of Inquiry

In our year long unit on "How we express ourself", the class made our own play of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. The preschoolers went through the production process from choosing the story, the characters they want to be, the instruments to play, song, movements, and the costumes (of course with the help of the parents too!).

Preschoolers watched the video together and celebrated how they have grown and changed to be risk-takers!

Enjoy the final presentation of the Perky Preschoolers as they performed the play, of The Very Hungry Caterpillar!

Night of the Student Led Conference

Preschoolers practice for their upcoming Student Led Conference (SLC) by engaging in mock sessions with peers and teachers.

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...
