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!

First Week in Preschool

The preschoolers started the school year with the Enrolment Party.  The students together with their parents come to school all dressed-up and ready to attend their frist day in Primary School.  They were entertained by the frist graders who did the short play about the School cone. Afterwhich, they received their school cone from the teacher. Together, the new preschoolers and Ms. Faye went to the vist their classroom and enjoyed their first read-a-loud!  They did their first day of school work! I WONDER..... Since the start of the all inquiry is asking questions,  we started the unit on 'How we organize ourselves' with a lot of provocations.  Through these provocations, the preschoolers started forming questions and we gathered them and added in our wonder wall.  "Why do policeman and fire fighters and ambulance work together eventhough they have their orn jobs? " "Why do kids have to go to school? " " Why do paople make books? " " As good ...

Our Family

Community is a place where people live together.  Our Family Our School Our Community The preschoolers identified themselves as an important member or these groups.  Roles are parts that everyone play. We have the Superheroes like Batman, Spiderman and other characters in movies.  But what are the things that they do? Those are their responsibilities. Just like us, we all have our responsibilities.  The Family Family is the smallest group in a community.  Some families are big. Some families are small. But they live together in the same house and do things together and take care of each other.   Using their puppets the preschoolers imagined and created a story of things that they did as a family. They had so much fun presenting in the class, changing their voices creating background sounds and simply telling their stories! We also played the Yes, No, Maybe corners where the students decided if they agreed or disagreed with the questions given to them about ...

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 ...
