UNIT OF INQUIRY

Creating a Timeline

 

The students write stories about their developmental milestone from birth until present as they continue 'Finding Out' about their personal histories. 

Seeing how much they have changed over the years help them understand themselves better and who they have become at present. 

They see how their family have grown and changed when their sister or brother was was born. As they look back at their past, they also begin to share, compare and understand different perspectives of people. They notice how each and every one of them grow, develop and how families are unique in many ways.

In this unit, it is also important to know which countries they are connected with from their parents or grandparents. 

To help them understand that, they located and plotted the places where their parents were from and even the places that they have lived or been.

They saw how some parents came from two different and far away countries but met. 

To make the connection about how their parents met, we talked about traveling or moving to different places. They came up with reasons why people travel to different places. 

NUMERACY 

Handing Data

They did a survey and asked students the following questions:

What food did you like when you were a baby?

What toys did you like when you were a baby?

Why do we need toys?

How many family members do yo have? 

 

After the survey, the preschoolers will work on interpreting the data and will create a visual representation of the survey through a Bar Graph.
