Perky Preschool 2022 - 2023


It has been an exciting week with these 18 energetic and dynamic preschoolers! 

Our Wonder Wall has been readied to be filled with their wonderings about the Transdisciplinary Theme on How We Organize Ourselves


Everyone wondered what UOI meant, so we talked about it and this sparked the motivation and interest of the preschoolers.


 'Roles and responsibilities allow organizations to run smoothly'

 The lines of inquiries focused on various communities we belong to, different jobs have responsibilities their own preferred job in the classroom. 

Tuning In started by first identifying one of the Approaches to Learning (ATLs) self-management focusing on organizational skills. 

Since one of our main focus in the class for the first week of school is being organized and taking care of their belongings, we looked at the word 'organize'.

To further understand the concept, the preschool played and organized themselves into many different groups according to....


...  shoe color

 

... shirt color
... hair color
... hair length 
... height 

They came up with the statements to describe the word.


In Numeracy, we started counting and ordering numbers 1-10. They showed the value by writing the numeral and the number of ones. 


Learning the difference between estimation and counting will strengthen their  number sense. This will enable them to develop flexible thinking and intuition about numbers needed to develop deep understanding of different math concepts. 

Here are some photos of the Preschoolers first week in school!

PRESCHOOLERS and their FAMILIES

  The FAMILY TREE helps the Preschoolers understand the relationship of each members of their family. This representation helps them understand the roles of the mother, father, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, and cousins play in their life history.  The Preschoolers continued to inquire about the personal histories of their family. They worked on their own Family Tree and have started SORTING OUT information that they have gathered from the interview with their parents, discussions and their own knowledge about the members of their family.          They have also made a visual representation of who lives in our home.  Before the Golden week, they did a series mapping exercise.  The place where they have lived or where they have travelled.

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...
