Personal Stories Come Alive

'Child' said the lion, '

I am telling you your story, not hers.'

Memory Box

The 'Memory Box' is designed to give the students their voice and choice on selecting the things that tell a story about them.

It gives everyone a glimpse of their personal histories from the objects and memories shared to them by their parents.

These stories told by their parents become alive and meaningful after sharing it with others. The students make connections, which grow into a beautiful narration of their life.

And in that moment, their stories become a reality.

During the actual Student Led Conference, preschoolers experienced a range of emotions. Some felt nervous facing their parents, while others were visibly tired or overwhelmed by the attention. A few needed gentle support to stay engaged. On the other hand, many confidently shared their work, explained clas...

Field Trip

FIELD TRIP Children who experience a holistic development during their younger school years grow up to become global citizens. Taking the students out of the classroom is important because it provides a balance between indoor and outdoor activities. It prepares them for what it is like in the real world. As part of our unit on How The World Works which focuses on the science of living things, the preschoolers went out on a field trip to Rokkosan Pasture. In here, the students were immersed and had access to a different environment, the farm habitat together with the animals who live there. They experienced interactive learning by feeding and getting up close with these friendly and hungry goats. They observed how the animals shared space and played inside their homes. They were able to make connections on how they, as preschoolers socially interact with one another inside the classroom. The parents who joined the trip also became the teachers a...
