The Animal Exhibit

The preschoolers celebrated their inquiry on the idea that, all living things go through a process of change through the Animal Exhibit.

As COMMUNICATORS, they presented their works to the school community.

Pointing out the different animal body parts and its use for survival.

Read the fictional story they wrote about the animal.

Through their research, they were able to gather information and became experts on a specific animal.

They explained how the animals change and grow through a life cycle.

They also showed how energy is transferred from one living thing to the next through a food chain visual presentation.

Finally, everyone was so excited to be a part of their journey in Preschool.

Parents came and celebrated with the preschoolers!

TAKING ACTION

It was an unexpected decision that came from the students when we were talking about the factors affecting change. They understood that change isn't always good. Living things die because of big predators such as human.

We have been a great factor of good or bad change happening to all living things.

Then shouts emerged through our discussions,

"This has to stop!"

"We have to let our voices be heard!"

and thus, this 2 days filmed and edited video before the Animal Exhibit was created.

Change begins, NOW!

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, ...

Our Country

Know your country. Appreciate your culture. It is important to know your country's culture to also understand who you are. As young researchers, the preschoolers looked for information and facts about their country. They looked at the flag and what it signifies, the population, the capital, food, and popular places. This activity helps them develop cultural awareness which is important as they begin to understand that they came from different backgrounds. Learning about their differences creates a sense of appreciation and respect with people different from them. "We are better at football!" "Our food is better!" But, it is not a competition of which country is better in football, bigger in size, or which hair color looks better. It is knowing that they are all here together to celebrate everyone's similarities and differences. As they become knowledgeable about the bigger picture of their own culture, they also learn to relate better to one an...

Understanding Culture

What is CULTURE? This week, we have broken down the different aspects of culture. COUNTRY Firstly, we identified the country they are from. They were tested on their knowledge of their flag. It was amazing to know that a lot of them know what their flags look like. The color, symbols, and shapes that go with it. We will continue to inquire by also understanding the features that the flag represent. The colors, symbols, the shapes. For our transdisciplinary connection in math, preschoolers will go around the school to conduct a survey. We will find out information about the people at DSKI and how these affect our school's culture. With their partner, they thought of different questions that they would like to ask their respondents. They will survey the following questions: Where (country) are you from? What celebration is important for you and your family? What is the traditional food in your country? What clothes do you like ...
