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.

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 ...

A week of celebration

This was a week of celebration.  We were able to watch the students performed their best during the Winter Concert at the MPR.  They danced and sang the Christmas Songs with confidence and pride.  At our Christmas Market, the preschoolers did their assigned responsibilities attentively.  They sat at the table and encouraged everyone to have their pictures taken at our *Perky Picture Perfect* booth.      A reason why ALL the preschoolers were on the nice list and got their presents from Santa!                Big smiles with Santa after receiving their presents. and we are all ready for our Christmas Break!  Enjoy our video,  A celebration of growth and change!

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, ...
