Relationship with Yourself and Others


What are the different kinds of relationships?

The preschoolers sorted out pictures according to similarities, connections, and relationships. Together we identified 4 kinds of relationships.



1. Romantic Relationship 


2. Family Relationship


3. Friends 


4. Acquaintances 


Do I know my own feelings?

Children should develop skills in understanding their own emotions and knowing how to react to certain situations. This emotional awareness is important for them to better know and understand themselves, their personalities and characteristics and how these affect their relationships with others. 

Using the Emoji Compass Activity, the preschoolers were presented with a scenario and decided on which emojis to go: happy, angry, sad, worried or calm. They were encouraged to think for themselves and identify their own feelings as if they are in that situation.

 

Sample Scenario: 
"You are playing a game that you really like and you lost. How would you feel?"

Responses:
Angry: "Because I always like to win"
Sad: "Because I do not want to lose."
Calm: "We don't always win, we sometimes lose too."


We sat together after and they shared their thoughts.

They realised that...
"Knowing our feelings and the feelings of others avoid us from getting in trouble".
"If we know other people's feelings, what they like and what they don't like then we will be able to do something about it."

During the Christmas Lighting Event, all the classes received an Advent Calendar personally made by the PTA! Today we opened one envelope.  The students are excited to have their turn in our Advent Calendar.



Here's a treat for everyone!

A week of celebration

This was a week of celebration.  We were able to watch the students performed their best during the Winter Concert at the MPR.  They danced and sang the Christmas Songs with confidence and pride.  At our Christmas Market, the preschoolers did their assigned responsibilities attentively.  They sat at the table and encouraged everyone to have their pictures taken at our *Perky Picture Perfect* booth.      A reason why ALL the preschoolers were on the nice list and got their presents from Santa!                Big smiles with Santa after receiving their presents. and we are all ready for our Christmas Break!  Enjoy our video,  A celebration of growth and change!

How The World Works

PRESCHOOL ASSEMBLY What a beautiful way to end our unit on celebration, to start a new unit on growth, and to connect it to our unit on imagination. As we begin our new unit on how the world works, the preschool students went around the school premises to list down living things that they saw around them.  As their curiosity kicked in they got so excited and started thinking exactly what living things are.  At first, some characteristics they mentioned about living things were: move  eat drink grow drive cars talk take a bath more But what really is the difference between living and non-living things?  Back in the classroom, we revisited their list and narrowed down the characteristics of living things into these important traits: they eat and drink (food and water) they grow or change they reproduce (make new living things) They agreed that even if something is moving (like robots or cars) it doesn't mean that they are living things. Trees do not move but they eat, ...

Our Country

Know your country. Appreciate your culture.  It is important to know your country's culture to also understand who you are.  As young researchers, the preschoolers looked for information and facts about their country.  They looked at the flag and what it signifies, the population, the capital, food, and popular places. This activity helps them develop cultural awareness which is important as they begin to understand that they came from different backgrounds. Learning about their differences creates a sense of appreciation and respect with people different from them.  "We are better at football!" "Our food is better!" But, it is not a competition of which country is better in football, bigger in size, or which hair color looks better.  It is knowing that they are all here together to celebrate everyone's similarities and differences.    As they become knowledgeable about the bigger picture of their own culture, they also learn to relate better to one an...
