Student Led Conference

Student Led Conference: Empowerment and Ownership

The preschoolers becoming in charge is a way to create opportunities for reflection, engagement and agency.

As we were getting ready for the Student Led Conference, the preschoolers planned with Ms. Faye the work samples, activities and the areas that they wanted to share to their parents.

They practiced together with their friends on how to go through the conference.

During the Student Led Conference, they shared their portfolio, which they organized in their UOI notebook and in Seesaw.

They shared their strengths, weakness and what their learning goals are.

They communicated their progress and learning processes to their parents.

They challenged each other.

They taught them different strategies they used at school which may be very different on how the parents learned it before.

What made it really special was that they shared the night with their parents in celebration of the wonderful year they spent learning in Preschool!

Meet the Animals

Students have been actively engaged in preparing for our upcoming Animal Exhibit, showcasing their learning through research, creativity, and collaboration. Each student selected an animal of interest, explored its habitat, diet, and unique adaptations, and created a visual display to share their findings. This week the preschoolers worked in teams to group animals according to their natural habitats—such as grassland, fresh water, polar region, ocean, and forest. Together, they collaborated to research the features and designed a small-scale habitat that reflect the unique features of each ecosystem. This group project fostered teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity as students and teachers combined their knowledge and ideas to create cohesive, informative, and visually engaging designs. The final displays beautifully showcase both the diversity of animal life and the power of collaboration. As part of the preparation, preschoolers will practice presentation skills and t...
