First Week in Preschool

It is important to set the routines and agreement for the first week of school. By doing this, the students are guided towards success and the expectations in class.

The Preschoolers came up with 4 PRESCHOOL AGREEMENT:

1. We are good listeners

2. We stay on task. We start and finish our work.

3. We respect and love everybody.

4. No shouting, running in the classroom and in the hallway.

They all signed their names and promised to keep the agreement this whole school year!

This week we also practiced our ROUTINES.

1. lining up and walking in the hallway

2. chairs pushed in

3. wiping the tables after eating

4. transitioning from one class to the other

5. packing away materials after class work / play

Here are some photos of the Preschoolers busily and focused doing their work.

Next week, we will start with our unit on 'How We Organize Ourselves'.

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? SPORTS DAY PHOTOS JAVELIN THROW 500 METER RUN Oh definitely, Presch...

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, pencil...

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...
