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?

A week of celebration

This was a week of celebration.  We were able to watch the students performed their best during the Winter Concert at the MPR.  They danced and sang the Christmas Songs with confidence and pride.  At our Christmas Market, the preschoolers did their assigned responsibilities attentively.  They sat at the table and encouraged everyone to have their pictures taken at our *Perky Picture Perfect* booth.      A reason why ALL the preschoolers were on the nice list and got their presents from Santa!                Big smiles with Santa after receiving their presents. and we are all ready for our Christmas Break!  Enjoy our video,  A celebration of growth and change!   

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...
