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!

Changes

"Why are all people different?" -Tamaki- I think that this is one of the most difficult question a child can ask.  Even I couldn't find the correct or the exact answers to this. However, 'Guess the Baby' experiment shows that we, somehow all look alike at some stage in our lives - when we are babies.  We looked at the strip of papers and the names written. We found out that a lot of the guesses where wrong and mixed up. We asked some teachers and students and they had a difficult time guessing the babies.  "They all look alike!" was the common response that we heard. But, if we look closely and pay attention, we can see that, the same baby is still there. So today, we have revealed the names of the babies!  Look at their photos... THEN and NOW Tamaki "The shape of the face looks the same."   Ciel Not one person guessed Ciel.  Well, Ciel didn't even recognize his own photo!  Koh "He still looks the same."  Daisy "Her smile and

ENERGY IN PRESCHOOL

  FOOD CHAIN An order in which living things depend on each other for food. We have identified food as one of the things living things need to live.  This is the same for both plants and animals. However, we are not as lucky as the plants - they can make their own food!  The sun helps them make food through the process called ' photosynthesis'.   And because of this special power, plants are called producers. They start the food chain and transfer energy to the consumers. We have learned about the different animal groups and the preschool used their knowledge to create their food chain.    They chose one animal and using their knowledge about animals, they showed how animal get their food.  Next week, we will continue with our inquiry answering the question: How do animals go through a process of change? SPORTS DAY PHOTOS   JAVELIN THROW         500 METER RUN              Oh definitely, Preschooolers are full of ENERGY!

DEFINING HISTORY

Personal History "Making your own story" - Perky Preschool - SEE THINK WONDER As a provocation for our new unit on "personal histories allow us to reflect on and celebrate growth and change", we did a ' See Think Wonder' Thinking Routine activity.  In groups, the students looked at photos related to the unit and wrote down things that they see, what they thought and wonderings that they may have.  This thinking routine was then used as a springboard to unlock our unit vocabulary words such as: personal, history, events, and change.   TIMELINE The students also completed a simple timeline that shows the past, present and future. As we inquire further in the unit, they will be able to gain more detailed knowledge about their personal history.  NUMERACY / LITERACY This week we also started with our math and reading stations. During the different station activities, each group will get a chance to explore different  concepts and activities that will help strengt
