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?

PRESCHOOLERS and their FAMILIES

  The FAMILY TREE helps the Preschoolers understand the relationship of each members of their family. This representation helps them understand the roles of the mother, father, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, and cousins play in their life history.  The Preschoolers continued to inquire about the personal histories of their family. They worked on their own Family Tree and have started SORTING OUT information that they have gathered from the interview with their parents, discussions and their own knowledge about the members of their family.          They have also made a visual representation of who lives in our home.  Before the Golden week, they did a series mapping exercise.  The place where they have lived or where they have travelled.

Field Trip

FIELD TRIP Children who experience a holistic development during their younger school years grow up to become global citizens.  Taking the students out of the classroom  is important because it provides a balance between indoor and outdoor activities. It prepares them for what it is like in the real world.  As part of our unit on How The World Works which focuses on the science of living things, the preschoolers went out on a field trip to Rokkosan Pasture. In here, the students were immersed and had access to a different environment,  the farm habitat together with the animals who live there.  They experienced interactive learning by feeding and getting up close with these friendly and hungry goats. They observed how the animals shared space and played inside their homes. They were able to make connections on how they, as preschoolers socially interact with one another inside the classroom.   The parents who joined the trip also became the teachers a...
