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.

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...

Entering the world of imagination

Children use imagination to write poems and create artworks in wonderfully instinctive and unfiltered ways.  They are not constrained by thinking or grammar rules and truly believe simple things in life.  This kind of imaginative freedom allows them to create words and images that we might not even consider. They use personal experience and reimagine things. They write freely without filter and   mix real life with fantasy to create rich, expressive writing. They can use this form of writing to develop self-confidence and connections with themselves and others.  In Artwork, they use their creative imagination to create symbolic representation that we, as adults, could never have imagined.  Children represent the world how they feel it, not just how they see it.  Their artworks become a portal to an entirely new worlds. In this unit on  how we express ourselves,  preschoolers will be encouraged to use: Open-ended materials (like...
