Going Further



It is truly mind-blowing to  witness how these young learners progressed in their over all skills since they started in preschool! 


Proving that instilling responsibility is possible, even to young learners when they are motivated and given proper guidance. 

Throughout the unit, they have continuously pursued to finish their research that will be presented to the school community. 

During the 'finding out' stage, they have been immersed in many different experiences and concepts that helped them develop their understanding of the central idea and the key concepts. 

They also used different ATLs to develop the behavior and skills to engage in learning. 


They have  'sorted out' the information that are relevant to answer the unit questions. 


These past weeks, they are 'going further' and are completing their work to be presented. 

Something that are worth looking forward to see are..

The Learner Profile of the Community Helper,
The Tool Bag with all the things used by the community helper,
The Trans'FOOT'ation used in their work, 


Lastly, as writers, they are finally going to publish the Informative Book they wrote about the chose community helper. 


As we are nearing to the last stage of the Inquiry  Cycle, they answered the contrasting questions and gave describing words. 


What does a community without responsibilities look like? 

and,

What does a community with everyone doing their responsibilities look like?


What are our thoughts on this? 

Can we confidently say to the preschoolers that we are doing our responsibilities well enough to make our community - at home, school, or the bigger community run smoothly, or not?

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?

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...

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 ...
