Picture Walk




Picture Walk


As part of the FINDING OUT stage in the Inquiry Cycle, preschoolers asked questions and posted their wonderings in our Wondering Wall. These young readers used their different skills and initiated how to help themselves in finding answers to their inquiries.


A strategy they learned is through a PICTURE WALK. 
This strategy helps young learners develop reading skills. It involves looking at the pictures in a book to familiarize themselves with the information. 

True enough, It builds interest and excitement to the preschoolers! 


The activity encouraged students to be curious about important concepts and vocabulary that will help them later on as they start their research about community helpers.


This also students develop SOCIAL SKILLS as they communicated their ideas and without them realizing, made different connections such as:

Text to text 
a connection from another book, stories, movies, or songs they heard

Text to self 
a connection to their own knowledge or experiences

Text to world 
a connection made to a community or what happened around them


We also delved deeper into the key concept on RESPONSIBILITY and together watched the interview they did with one of the members in their family.


We listed down all the responsibilities mentioned. We were able to find out the common responsibilities, the most enjoyable responsibilities and something that we hope could be a shared responsibility in the household. 


As a springboard to next group in the community where the preschoolers belong to, we talked about our friend, 'NOAH'. 
Noah represented each of them and the situations that would make them uncomfortable or sad, as a child. 

Now, the Preschoolers' task is to find out ways to help Noah solve his many problems.

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...

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...
