Exploring Learning Resources

 



What an exciting week it has been! 

Learning resources are the things that we, as teachers access to help us in our teaching. It provides a source of learning experience for the preschoolers and assists the process of interaction in the class. 

The preschoolers have utilized the use of books, pictures, stories, discussions, technology, and educational videos to assist them in their research. 

This week, 2 important resources were presented to the preschoolers.

1. People are important learning resource.

Veronica Anzuay - Carzis
A Veterinarian

Veronica shared her knowledge, roles and responsibilities as a vet back in Argentina. The preschoolers enjoyed listening how domestic and wild animals were taken cared of and treated when they are injured. 



Veronica shared a very important take away to the preschoolers:
"We have a RESPONSIBILITY to help and take care of our world."



Can Yaldiz
A Diaper Engineer 

As an engineer, Can is good at identifying problems, thinking and finding solutions to these problems. 

He made the job of problem solving sounded easy and convincing.
After his talk, a lot of the preschoolers have already instantly thought of a career change!


Can also showed the preschoolers a 'little magic'....

He poured the magic blue water into 3 separate cups, 
tilted the cups and Voila!!!!
the water disappeared!


So, what happened to the water inside the cups? 



Ask the preschoolers and they will tell you....

Mathias Vogel
Scientist / Engineer

Why do people who work in the hospital wear gloves on their hands, cover their feet, head, and body? 

Because nobody wants to bring germs back to their home.

While wearing their own gloves and head caps, the preschoolers enjoyed testing liquid for the presence of sugar. 



As and engineer, Mathias' job is to build and repair machines in the hospital laboratories. 

He explained that to be able to do this, he needs to work well with different people in and outside the hospital to make sure that he gets things done. He has to teach other engineers and doctors how to use and what to do with the machines.

Being able to collaborate and work well with other people are important 
SOCIAL SKILLS.


What a wonderful experience for all of us in the Perky Preschool class to be able to listen to these amazing parents who help the community run smoothly. 


Talking about working together, they work with pairs to practice reading the book they wrote for the Publishing Party on Wednesday. 





2. Space is an important learning resource
Field trip to Hyogo Police 

Together, the students, teachers and parent volunteers visited Hyogo Police to learn more about the roles, responsibilities, tools, clothes, and transportations they use at work. 

It was a wonderful experience for everyone to be up close and personal with these serious-looking people who help our community safe for everyone. 

Police officers want to make sure that we:
1. Follow traffic rules and don't get into accidents
2. Make peace with our neighbours
3. Be a good citizen (don't be a bad person)
4. Surrender lost items 

Enjoy this short video of the Perky Preschoolers' visit to Hyogo Police! 




As a preschool community, let us support as we listen and cheer to our budding readers and writers as they share their journey to becoming confident doctors, police officers, fire fighters, engineers, nurse, teachers and more!!!

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...

Entering the world of imagination

Children use imagination to write poems and create artworks in wonderfully instinctive and unfiltered ways.  They are not constrained by thinking or grammar rules and truly believe simple things in life.  This kind of imaginative freedom allows them to create words and images that we might not even consider. They use personal experience and reimagine things. They write freely without filter and   mix real life with fantasy to create rich, expressive writing. They can use this form of writing to develop self-confidence and connections with themselves and others.  In Artwork, they use their creative imagination to create symbolic representation that we, as adults, could never have imagined.  Children represent the world how they feel it, not just how they see it.  Their artworks become a portal to an entirely new worlds. In this unit on  how we express ourselves,  preschoolers will be encouraged to use: Open-ended materials (like...
