We are all connected

 

RELATIONSHIP

.. a bond

.. connection

... chain or link


Kinds of Relationship

Family 

Smallest group in the community. They are the people who are related to you like mommy, daddy, brothers or sisters, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins. 

Friendship

Someone you can have fun with. You play together and laugh together. They accept you for who you are. Someone who makes you smile when you are sad and helps you when you when other people are not nice to you. 

Romantic

People you love and care for so much and wants the best for the other person. They want to get to know each other, get married and start a family. 

Acquaintances 

Everyday we meet a lot of people in our lives. We talk to them, they help us in the community and sometimes we even play or work with them. However, we only spend a short amount of time and sometimes we may not see them again. 


Exploring Connections with my FRIEND

A Venn Diagram is used to explore relationships and compares similarities and differences of things. 

We used a Venn Diagram to get to know more about the partner. When communicating and asking questions about the other person a Venn Diagram helped them know more about themselves. 




Getting to know someone is a good start when making friends.


Realizing that we have a lot of things on common is an amazing feeling!



Working with someone helps develop connection and builds social relationship. 


Through this activity, the preschoolers applied their 'questioning' skills by asking small and big questions and answering with details and explanation. 



Solving a Problem with my FRIEND

What is a PROBLEM? 

"A problem is something that happened but shouldn't have happened. It makes someone feel sad, mad, surprised, hurt, or cry."

- Perky Preschool -


What can we do if we have a problem? 
We can either GIVE UP.... 
or
Think of a SOLUTION by sorting it out...

"Make the problem not a problem but make it better!"
- Eda, Rose and Sophia - 

We can also choose between a good or poor choices. 

 

  

 

By going through the Problem Solving Map, the preschoolers practiced being open-minded as they thought of different ways to solving a problem. 

With the solutions, they also tried to figure out what might happen if they do it. In the end, they chose the best one that they think might have better results or consequences. 


Next week, we will continue our inquiry about on cause and effect. 


LITERACY

The young writers have finished the plot of their creative stories. 

They have drawn and shared what happened in the beginning, middle and the end. They made sure that the characters faced a certain problem and found a solution.


... and yes, they have already started with the first page focusing on the 'setting'.


We are all excited to continue on their first creative stories next week! 
I am sure they will be thrilled to share these with you all at the end of our unit.

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...

Field Trip

FIELD TRIP Children who experience a holistic development during their younger school years grow up to become global citizens.  Taking the students out of the classroom  is important because it provides a balance between indoor and outdoor activities. It prepares them for what it is like in the real world.  As part of our unit on How The World Works which focuses on the science of living things, the preschoolers went out on a field trip to Rokkosan Pasture. In here, the students were immersed and had access to a different environment,  the farm habitat together with the animals who live there.  They experienced interactive learning by feeding and getting up close with these friendly and hungry goats. They observed how the animals shared space and played inside their homes. They were able to make connections on how they, as preschoolers socially interact with one another inside the classroom.   The parents who joined the trip also became the teachers a...
