PICTURE SORT

The Preschoolers were given a task to sort the different animals.
There have been several versions of the sorting which sparked a very meaningful conversation between the students. 

They sorted it according to colors, size, movements, the place they live....
They kept on moving the animals around and explained the reasons.


Their conversation was a beautiful revelation of how the Preschoolers have developed as good communicators!

They agreed and disagreed with one another. 
They took turns, asked and answered questions. 
It was beautiful! 


UNIT BOOKS



'As part of my curiosity - sparking tools, I often collect books related to our unit and have a small area for our unit books in the classroom. 
The books are used throughout the unit.'

- Ms. Faye -

This week, they did  a 'Book Walk' and spent time exploring different Unit Books in the class. 

They also used the Visible Thinking Routing 'See, Think and Wonder' as prompt for their own discussion.


We revisited the sort once again  and  finally they all agreed and came up with the following to groups:
1. Amphibians
2. Birds
3. Fish
4. Insects
5. Mammals
6. Reptiles

They then worked with a small group to write down information they know about the animal group assigned to them.











They confidently shared their final work to the class and answered questions or clarifications from the other students.



Next week, they will start their experiment and inquire more about plants!

Night of the Student Led Conference

Preschoolers practice for their upcoming Student Led Conference (SLC) by engaging in mock sessions with peers and teachers. These practices help the students build confidence as they learn to talk about their artwork, classroom routines, and personal growth.  Using the checklist prompted by visuals like portfolios and photo displays, preschoolers explain their learning journey in simple, meaningful ways. Practicing ahead of the actual conference allows them to feel prepared and proud to share with their families.  It fosters communication skills, independence, and a strong sense of ownership over their learning — all foundational for future academic and social success. 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...
