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!

ENERGY IN PRESCHOOL

  FOOD CHAIN An order in which living things depend on each other for food. We have identified food as one of the things living things need to live.  This is the same for both plants and animals. However, we are not as lucky as the plants - they can make their own food!  The sun helps them make food through the process called ' photosynthesis'.   And because of this special power, plants are called producers. They start the food chain and transfer energy to the consumers. We have learned about the different animal groups and the preschool used their knowledge to create their food chain.    They chose one animal and using their knowledge about animals, they showed how animal get their food.  Next week, we will continue with our inquiry answering the question: How do animals go through a process of change?

Working Together

TAKING ACTION The students are keeping in mind the importance of plants to all living things.  Plants - being the ONLY one that can make its own food, and Plants - being the ONLY one that gives us the air or oxygen to live. We have to do something to preserve the plants!   They started bringing all sorts of seeds to plant at school.  To watermelon seeds, onion stalks, flowers, grapes..  They chose a spot where the plants can get sunshine.  They dug the soil. Put in the seeds. And watered them. They did everything that the plants need in order to grow.    Students will take turns watering the plants daily.  Hopefully these tiny seeds will show us some sprouts before the end of the school year in Preschool.    HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES For the unit on How we express ourselves, the preschoolers used their imagination to create different art work on the ipad.  They chose their own  subject and used the different tools on the drawing...

" "Why do kids have to go to school? " " Why do paople make books? " " As good ...
