The Expert in Anything was Once a Beginner

UNIT OF INQUIRY

SORTING OUT

This week, the preschoolers started their journey on becoming experts on their chosen community helper.

After weeks of FINDING OUT from different resources and learning about the community and the people in the community, they are now using these knowledge to write an Informative Book.

They have identified what a writer and illustrator's jobs are.

They were very fortunate that Jess (Mia's mom) came and shared with them her roles and responsibilities as a writer.

They are now inspired and are ready to take on the role of a writer and an illustrator.

Also, Joshua Lim (Isaac's dad) came and shared with the Preschoolers his job, roles and responsibilities as a Project Manager for Caterpillar Inc. The company that manufactures, markets and sells machinery and engines.

They asked a lot of good questions and learned that people from different organisations need to help and work together to make things run smoothly.

NUMERACY STATIONS

The preschoolers continue to develop their number sense, conceptual understanding and fluency in addition and subtraction.

They used a number line as a visual tool to find the sum and difference.

They also continue to develop their accuracy and fluency in counting and ordering numbers from least to greatest and vice versa.

Preschoolers love working with everyone!

Paired or group works help them become more principled, thinkers and caring towards the needs and differences of each other.

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...
