I am Me




Character 
is who you are,
when nobody else is looking...


Preschool unpacked further what CHARACTER is.

Outside traits are also known as the physical traits, which are seen or visible. 
It also refers to how a person looks like.

Inside Traits cannot be seen unless it is expressed from one's thoughts, actions, words, and feelings. 


Each person has an outside and inside traits which define who they are.

Guess who we are! 

The preschools looked at a mirror and studied their facial features. They looked at the color of their hair and eyes, shape of their nose and lips, their heights, lengths of the hair, and other physical traits. 

They drew a self-portrait and wrote down clues to help others guess who they are. 


Parents, please feel free to come and try to guess the self-portrait too! 

Our Trees

After watching Build our Tree, we reflected on our own fruits and branches. 
The students wrote their own but also gathered information from other students and teachers in class about what they think their fruits (positive character traits) and branches (traits that need to be improved) are. 

This activity encourages them to be open-minded and take feedback to help them improve their character.

 

Here are some completed preschool trees with fruits and branches. 

 



NUMERACY

In connection to UOI, the preschools learned statistics: Gathering Data (Survey). They asked other students, teachers and staff about questions that they were curious to know. 



Some questions were:

What is your favorite food?
onigiri, fruits, vegetables, chicken


What's your favorite sport?
soccer, badminton, basketball

 

What is your favorite color?
purple, red, orange, green, blue, black

 

How old are you? 
5+, 10+, 20+, 30+, 40+


 

After they have gathered data, counted the tally marks, and interpreted it according to:  the most and least favorite.

They will continue to work on presenting the collected data into a Bar Graph.

This is important so that preschool will be able to understand, classify, and sort the information collected, which is necessary for future research. 


Next week, we will continue on collecting our wonderings for our Wonder Wall!

First Week in Preschool

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 ...
