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
Abstract ideas or concepts may be made visible to children through books. Understanding different characters and how they relate to others, themselves, or to the wold around them can be explored through reading.
.. as they also build relationships with others through interaction and communication.
