Who We Are

Adults have a great impact in the lives of the children. 

We are the most valuable resource they have during their development

We can be intentional with our words

with our actions

and be encouraging 

in their pursuit to finding out who they are.

To these children

our words become theirs

our actions become their personalities

and the way we relate with them nourish the seeds of their characters.

Who we are, are often the very things that becomes them.

- Ms. Faye -

This week the Perky Preschoolers started on the new unit inquiring on "Our relationships with others build our character and personality" under the Transdisciplinary Theme, Who We Are.

This unit will focus on the following Lines of Inquiry and Concepts:

• Different personalities and characters (Form)

• Different relationships with people (Connection)
• Our characters and personalities affect our relationships (Causation)

As they go through the inquiry process, the Preschoolers will approach their learning as they continue to develop on their social and thinking skills.

As Tuning In activity, the Preschoolers explored some of their physical characteristics. They measured their height using their handspans. 

They also traced their hand and stamped their finger prints.

We all have different fingerprints and just like our fingerprints, we are all unique!

Numeracy

In connection to our current unit, the preschoolers were introduced to measurements using informal units.

They estimated the length of different materials.

This smart guesses or estimation help them develop critical mindedness and making thoughtful decisions.

After they estimated, they then got the exact length using  informal units such as paperclip, cubes and bears. 

What a joy it was for them when they have come as close as possible to their smart guesses!
