VIDEO
As they continue to develop a deeper understanding on How We Organise Ourselves, the preschoolers explored different materials that they can use for their future research.
They watched educational videos to inform them about the roles of different community helpers. As we watched together, we had the flexibility to pause, rewind, and discuss important information about the community helper.
Then, they worked independently and responded to the questions:
What are the responsibilities of the community helper?
What might they look like?
What tools do they use to do their job?
How are they important to us?
BOOK WALK
"Reading is the gateway for children that makes all other learning possible."
Book walk is a way for the students to make predictions about might be happening in the book. They don't have to be readers yet to understand what's happening in the book.
Learning is fun when it is shared with a friend!
Together with their partner, they sat down and talked about the pictures in the book. They shared what they know, their connections and their own experience in connection to the book.
SPEAKER
Preschoolers met a writer today!
Jessica Chavez (Mia's mom) came to the class and shared with us interesting information about her job.
Using pictures, the preschoolers created a short story.
Once upon a time, a brave knight traveled to a forest in search of treasure.
While looking for her treasure, she was chased by a terrible shark.
But with the help of a kind Godzilla,
she made it home to her fabulous castle.
She lived hapilly every after.
Check out this cool animation that she wrote!
These experiences lead them to decide to research on one particular community helper.
Next week, they will start their journey to becoming writers and illustrators. They will begin to write an Informative Story about the community helper of their choice.
