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!

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?

100th Day

  100th Day of School Why do we celebrate The 100th Day of School?  As the Enrollment Party at the beginning of the school year, 100th day of school is considered a big celebration and has been a tradition in Preschool.  This marks a great milestone in the children's school life.  It means that the students are halfway through the year! It is a celebration wherein they can highlight their progress and show how much they have learned through the year.   For Numeracy, they showed their skills in:  skip counting identifying numbers 1 -100 counting on to 100 pattern blocks For Literacy, they made a short story.   We also made our 100 Days Smarter hat.  We did not forget the movement part wherein we did, 10 different kinds of exercises   10 times each.  Can you guess the total?  Then the fun part of filling in the 100 chart with 100 collections they brought to school! Tamaki's 100 beans. Eisuke's 100 collections of gems, pencil...

Working Together

TAKING ACTION The students are keeping in mind the importance of plants to all living things.  Plants - being the ONLY one that can make its own food, and Plants - being the ONLY one that gives us the air or oxygen to live. We have to do something to preserve the plants!   They started bringing all sorts of seeds to plant at school.  To watermelon seeds, onion stalks, flowers, grapes..  They chose a spot where the plants can get sunshine.  They dug the soil. Put in the seeds. And watered them. They did everything that the plants need in order to grow.    Students will take turns watering the plants daily.  Hopefully these tiny seeds will show us some sprouts before the end of the school year in Preschool.    HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES For the unit on How we express ourselves, the preschoolers used their imagination to create different art work on the ipad.  They chose their own  subject and used the different tools on the drawing...
