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.
