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!

First Week in Preschool

The preschoolers started the school year with the Enrolment Party.  The students together with their parents come to school all dressed-up and ready to attend their frist day in Primary School.  They were entertained by the frist graders who did the short play about the School cone. Afterwhich, they received their school cone from the teacher. Together, the new preschoolers and Ms. Faye went to the vist their classroom and enjoyed their first read-a-loud!  They did their first day of school work! I WONDER..... Since the start of the all inquiry is asking questions,  we started the unit on 'How we organize ourselves' with a lot of provocations.  Through these provocations, the preschoolers started forming questions and we gathered them and added in our wonder wall.  "Why do policeman and fire fighters and ambulance work together eventhough they have their orn jobs? " "Why do kids have to go to school? " " Why do paople make books? " " As good ...

Our Family

Community is a place where people live together.  Our Family Our School Our Community The preschoolers identified themselves as an important member or these groups.  Roles are parts that everyone play. We have the Superheroes like Batman, Spiderman and other characters in movies.  But what are the things that they do? Those are their responsibilities. Just like us, we all have our responsibilities.  The Family Family is the smallest group in a community.  Some families are big. Some families are small. But they live together in the same house and do things together and take care of each other.   Using their puppets the preschoolers imagined and created a story of things that they did as a family. They had so much fun presenting in the class, changing their voices creating background sounds and simply telling their stories! We also played the Yes, No, Maybe corners where the students decided if they agreed or disagreed with the questions given to them about ...

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 ...
