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!

Growth

This week we continue inquiring about our personal histories.  How much have we changed from when we were born to present. We posted the baby photos of all the preschoolers side by side with their current photos.  The students and teachers at school will guess, using the photos and looking for similarities who the preschoolers are.  We will then use these experiment to find out more about the concept of 'change' and 'development' in our unit.  We have also started collecting the pot flower that show the different milestones we have accomplished growing up.  They will talk about their personal stories to all the students in class.  We identified land and water forms and they realized that the water area is so much bigger than the land area!  As part of their history, we also have looked at the map and located the country they were born. From this, we looked at the bigger land area which is the continents that make up the land forms.  We identified ...

A week of celebration

This was a week of celebration.  We were able to watch the students performed their best during the Winter Concert at the MPR.  They danced and sang the Christmas Songs with confidence and pride.  At our Christmas Market, the preschoolers did their assigned responsibilities attentively.  They sat at the table and encouraged everyone to have their pictures taken at our *Perky Picture Perfect* booth.      A reason why ALL the preschoolers were on the nice list and got their presents from Santa!                Big smiles with Santa after receiving their presents. and we are all ready for our Christmas Break!  Enjoy our video,  A celebration of growth and change!   

How The World Works

PRESCHOOL ASSEMBLY What a beautiful way to end our unit on celebration, to start a new unit on growth, and to connect it to our unit on imagination. As we begin our new unit on how the world works, the preschool students went around the school premises to list down living things that they saw around them.  As their curiosity kicked in they got so excited and started thinking exactly what living things are.  At first, some characteristics they mentioned about living things were: move  eat drink grow drive cars talk take a bath more But what really is the difference between living and non-living things?  Back in the classroom, we revisited their list and narrowed down the characteristics of living things into these important traits: they eat and drink (food and water) they grow or change they reproduce (make new living things) They agreed that even if something is moving (like robots or cars) it doesn't mean that they are living things. Trees do not move but they eat, ...
