Story Book

\
Narrating their own history
in a form of a story, 
is a way to keep it in their memory.

It seems like yesterday when these amazing students joined my preschool class.
I remember them - being nervous but excited to find out what primary school would be like. 


Since then it has been an awesome school year with them. 
They learned so much about themselves and were all brave to write about it. 


As young writers, I remember how we started....

letters, 
sounds, 
stringing sounds, 
phrases, 
sentences,
paragraphs...

Now, a book.


But this isn't JUST a book. 


It is authentically theirs.
It is a special book that tells about their journey from where they are now. 
It tells about the memories, changes and growth. 


It reveals their thoughts, dreams and successes. 
It proves that they, who used to only care about milk, sleep or play have grown into marvellous independent young persons. 


These stories are treasures.
They are priceless and are filled with love.


I as a teacher am so proud to be a part of their stories!  


Dear parents, you have given them 5 or 6 years of beautiful memories! 
In return, they are excited to share this gift with you.


I am looking forward for them to read their stories to you.

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, ...
