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.

Meet the Animals

Students have been actively engaged in preparing for our upcoming Animal Exhibit, showcasing their learning through research, creativity, and collaboration. Each student selected an animal of interest, explored its habitat, diet, and unique adaptations, and created a visual display to share their findings. This week the preschoolers worked in teams to group animals according to their natural habitats—such as grassland, fresh water, polar region, ocean, and forest. Together, they collaborated to research the features and designed a small-scale habitat that reflect the unique features of each ecosystem. This group project fostered teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity as students and teachers combined their knowledge and ideas to create cohesive, informative, and visually engaging designs. The final displays beautifully showcase both the diversity of animal life and the power of collaboration. As part of the preparation, preschoolers will practice presentation skills and t...
