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!

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, ...

Our Country

Know your country. Appreciate your culture.  It is important to know your country's culture to also understand who you are.  As young researchers, the preschoolers looked for information and facts about their country.  They looked at the flag and what it signifies, the population, the capital, food, and popular places. This activity helps them develop cultural awareness which is important as they begin to understand that they came from different backgrounds. Learning about their differences creates a sense of appreciation and respect with people different from them.  "We are better at football!" "Our food is better!" But, it is not a competition of which country is better in football, bigger in size, or which hair color looks better.  It is knowing that they are all here together to celebrate everyone's similarities and differences.    As they become knowledgeable about the bigger picture of their own culture, they also learn to relate better to one an...

A Day with Nature

From the moment we arrived at Rokkosan Pasteur, excitement was in the air.   The weather was perfect, the animals were curious, and of course the preschoolers couldn’t wait to explore! The highlight of the day? Meeting the  kids —not the classmates, but the adorable baby goats! The students were able to  feed, pet, and even cuddle the goats, horses, sheep . They were gentle and playful. Some preschoolers were a bit hesitant at first, but by the end of the visit, everyone was laughing and eagerly reaching out to connect with the animals. But this trip was about more than just the fun experience. The goal is to extend their learning about  animal care, natural habitat, and the effect of human to other iving things.  These experiences and observing how animals interact in a natural environment were learning in its most genuine form—engaging, memorable, and will have a long-lasting impact on their lives.    As the day came to an end, tired but happy p...
