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!

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...

Understanding Culture

  What is CULTURE?  This week, we have broken down the different aspects of culture.  COUNTRY Firstly, we identified the country they are from.   They were tested on their knowledge of their flag. It was amazing to know that a lot of them know what their flags look like.    The color, symbols, and shapes that go with it.  We will continue to inquire by also understanding the features that the flag represent. The colors, symbols, the shapes. For our transdisciplinary connection in math, preschoolers will go around the school to conduct a survey. We will find out information about the people at DSKI and how these affect our school's culture. With their partner, they thought of different questions that they would like to ask their respondents.  They will survey the following questions: Where (country) are you from?  What celebration is important for you and your family? What is the traditional food in your country? What clothes do you like ...
