Coming Together, Keeping Together, Working Together


"when schools, families and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer and like school more."


The preschoolers had the opportunity to listen to our speakers as they shared their responsibilities at school. 

They understood how the school community is working together to make the school run smoothly. 


Ms. J  shared some of the roles and responsibilities of teachers.
  • to teach or facilitate learning
  • act as the second parent of students when they are in school
  • ensure children's safety 
  • support student's social, emotional skills development

Mr. Inman  shared the some of the important roles and responsibilities of the principal.
  • make sure that the school has good teachers
  • ensure the safety of students, teachers and staff 
  • ensure that the school program is of high quality and is delivered at the highest standards
  • accept new students 
  • talk to parents about their children


  Mrs. Wysk shared some of the important roles and responsibilities of parents.
  • support teachers in different activities or events
  • join field trips to ensure that children are safe
  • help students learn at home by helping homework
  • learn with the children too
  • talk to teachers 
 

In addition Mrs. Hakozaki also shared her responsibilities as a parent volunteer in the library .
  • help teachers and students look for books
  • organize books in the shelf
  • label, enter titles in the library system, and shelf books
  • put the books inside the shelves from the 'retuned' box
Sorting Out all the information they gathered from the interview of the different members of the school community, they learned that all the members are interconnected. 

The school will not be able to function without any of the members- they are interdependent and very important that they work together as a team! 


To sum up our wonderful trips to Rokko Island Fire Station and Hyogo Police Station, please enjoy the short video for you all!



Thank you to all the wonderful parents who joined us in our trips and came to school to give their time for the preschoolers! 

We truly appreciate you all!

ENERGY IN PRESCHOOL

  FOOD CHAIN An order in which living things depend on each other for food. We have identified food as one of the things living things need to live.  This is the same for both plants and animals. However, we are not as lucky as the plants - they can make their own food!  The sun helps them make food through the process called ' photosynthesis'.   And because of this special power, plants are called producers. They start the food chain and transfer energy to the consumers. We have learned about the different animal groups and the preschool used their knowledge to create their food chain.    They chose one animal and using their knowledge about animals, they showed how animal get their food.  Next week, we will continue with our inquiry answering the question: How do animals go through a process of change?

100th Day

  100th Day of School Why do we celebrate The 100th Day of School?  As the Enrollment Party at the beginning of the school year, 100th day of school is considered a big celebration and has been a tradition in Preschool.  This marks a great milestone in the children's school life.  It means that the students are halfway through the year! It is a celebration wherein they can highlight their progress and show how much they have learned through the year.   For Numeracy, they showed their skills in:  skip counting identifying numbers 1 -100 counting on to 100 pattern blocks For Literacy, they made a short story.   We also made our 100 Days Smarter hat.  We did not forget the movement part wherein we did, 10 different kinds of exercises   10 times each.  Can you guess the total?  Then the fun part of filling in the 100 chart with 100 collections they brought to school! Tamaki's 100 beans. Eisuke's 100 collections of gems, pencil...

Working Together

TAKING ACTION The students are keeping in mind the importance of plants to all living things.  Plants - being the ONLY one that can make its own food, and Plants - being the ONLY one that gives us the air or oxygen to live. We have to do something to preserve the plants!   They started bringing all sorts of seeds to plant at school.  To watermelon seeds, onion stalks, flowers, grapes..  They chose a spot where the plants can get sunshine.  They dug the soil. Put in the seeds. And watered them. They did everything that the plants need in order to grow.    Students will take turns watering the plants daily.  Hopefully these tiny seeds will show us some sprouts before the end of the school year in Preschool.    HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES For the unit on How we express ourselves, the preschoolers used their imagination to create different art work on the ipad.  They chose their own  subject and used the different tools on the drawing...
