Discovering Who You Are

As part of the Finding Out activity, the preschoolers explored about different characters. For read-a-loud, we engaged ourselves with different stories that focused on describing different personalities and characters.

During the class discussion, the preschoolers were presented with a visual tool to help them better understand ‘characters’ in a story.

Then, they discovered more about themselves by using their own photo.

This represents the student's inside and outside traits which makes them who they are.

Do I know myself?

They looked at their own picture, described and wrote their physical traits on post-its. Their hair, eye, skin, clothing, mask, colors. and other things that they can see.

They also reflected about the things they like, their feelings, actions which reflect their inside traits.

I wonder how OTHER PEOPLE see me?

We have traits and qualities that we see and know that we have in us. But, are these the same traits seen by other people around you?

It would be good to compare your own perceptions to other people’s perceptions. This is a good starting point to understand how someone’s character and personality affect their relationships with others.

What is a relationship?

That is what the Preschoolers will find out soon!

UNIT BOOKS

Our Family

Community is a place where people live together. Our Family Our School Our Community The preschoolers identified themselves as an important member or these groups. Roles are parts that everyone play. We have the Superheroes like Batman, Spiderman and other characters in movies. But what are the things that they do? Those are their responsibilities. Just like us, we all have our responsibilities. The Family Family is the smallest group in a community. Some families are big. Some families are small. But they live together in the same house and do things together and take care of each other. Using their puppets the preschoolers imagined and created a story of things that they did as a family. They had so much fun presenting in the class, changing their voices creating background sounds and simply telling their stories! We also played the Yes, No, Maybe corners where the students decided if they agreed or disagreed with the questions given to them about ...
