Animal Research

After several weeks of Tuning In and Finding Out, the preschoolers are now getting ready to apply their thinking, research, and communication skills. 

They will spend the remaining weeks digging deeper and becoming experts to a specific animal.


They chose the animal that they would like to learn more about. 
They worked on their research, and found out important information about the animal.


As researchers, they used different tools to gather information. 
They looked at books, watched educational videos and interviewed people. 


These information were then documented on to their research paper. 


They understood that there are things that they know (or think they already know) but they should be able to prove these ideas. 

They need evidence to back up their ideas. 

Alongside their RESEARCH, they are SORTING OUT information and developing a plan on how to COMMUNICATE their understanding to the audience for the Animal Exhibit.


They started making the animals of their choice. 
They have planed presenting the animals in different ways. 

 

Drawing
Painting


Tracing


3D Art 


Paper Maché


Mosaic.

It is going to be one small step at a time.

They will continue to be applying their THINKING SKILLS as they think of other ways on how to be systematic and creative on their research presentation. 

Next week, they will explore different habitats. 

They will go on a field trip to  Rokkosan Pasteur to observe and interact with  different farm animals. 


Save the date!

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...
