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

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.
