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!).

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

A few needed gentle support to stay engaged. On the other hand, many confidently shared their work, explained clas...

Taking the students out of the classroom is important because it provides a balance between indoor and outdoor activities. It prepares them for what it is like in the real world. As part of our unit on How The World Works which focuses on the science of living things, the preschoolers went out on a field trip to Rokkosan Pasture. In here, the students were immersed and had access to a different environment, the farm habitat together with the animals who live there. They experienced interactive learning by feeding and getting up close with these friendly and hungry goats. They observed how the animals shared space and played inside their homes. They were able to make connections on how they, as preschoolers socially interact with one another inside the classroom. The parents who joined the trip also became the teachers a...
