Changes




"Why are all people different?"
-Tamaki-

I think that this is one of the most difficult question a child can ask. 
Even I couldn't find the correct or the exact answers to this.

However, 'Guess the Baby' experiment shows that we, somehow all look alike at some stage in our lives - when we are babies. 

We looked at the strip of papers and the names written. We found out that a lot of the guesses where wrong and mixed up. We asked some teachers and students and they had a difficult time guessing the babies. 

"They all look alike!" was the common response that we heard.


But, if we look closely and pay attention, we can see that, the same baby is still there.

So today, we have revealed the names of the babies! 


Look at their photos...

THEN and NOW

Tamaki
"The shape of the face looks the same."

 
Ciel
Not one person guessed Ciel. 
Well, Ciel didn't even recognize his own photo! 

Koh
"He still looks the same." 

Daisy
"Her smile and expression are exactly the same."

Clara
"Her eyes look the same."

Emma
"Her nose, dimples, eyes didn't change so much" 

Eisuke
"He still looks the same."

 
Mei
Nobody was able to guess Mei's baby photos. 
"We thought it was a boy."

 
Chanin
Chanin was a difficult one too, everyone was surprised to find out that this was Chanin. 
"He looks different!"

Nara
"She looks like her sister!"
"Her eyes are the same."

Yorinobu
"He looks exactly like Yorinobu."

 
Rimi
"Rimi's nose, eyes and lips are the same. Except for the hair." 

 
Umi
"The baby looks like Umi when she smiles." 

 
Haruto
"Looks like Haruto when he looks." 
Yui
"She looks the same."

Kallea
"She looks exactly the same, only with long hair!"
"Her smile, eyes, forehead and hair color is the same."

MY TIMELINE

They have also created a timeline of important events or milestones that happened each year. These may not be accurate as the preschoolers might have used their 'SCHEMA' to create a pattern of stories.


However, this is a great springboard for the students to 'inquire' or ask more questions about their past and for the parents to confirm the stories that they children have created.



Through this, the child will develop an understanding of their personal history that will form their self-concept through the years, as they grow and change.

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...

Together, the new preschoolers and Ms. Faye went to the vist their classroom and enjoyed their first read-a-loud!  They did their first day of school work! I WONDER..... 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 ...
