Why do we change?


"How did it get so late so soon? 
It's night before it was afternoon. 
December is here before its June. 
My goodness how the time has flown. 
How did it get so late so soon?"
- Dr. Seuss - 

How can we organize important memories in our life?
What can we use to show our growth and development?

Together, the preschoolers inquired what a TIMELINE is.


They created a chronological representation of a period in time from birth to present. 


They wrote down important events or a milestone in their life. 



This activity gives a glimpse about the evidence of change. 



This support the inquiry process by making the students celebrate growth.


This timeline guided their thinking process as they began to write down the details of their Personal Stories. 


The timeline also reflected their uniqueness and their values.


They wrote about memorable or important places.


Things they love.


Simple accomplishments.


And beautiful memories they were told or remembered

TIME

and as they continuously dive in the concept of time, they made and decorated their own clock in class. 


They learned how to tell in o'clock and half past time.

 

The movement of the clock in a clock wise motion meant that days will only keep on moving forward and will never come back. 

 

That is the reason why everyone grows and change.

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, ...
