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?

100th Day

  100th Day of School Why do we celebrate The 100th Day of School?  As the Enrollment Party at the beginning of the school year, 100th day of school is considered a big celebration and has been a tradition in Preschool.  This marks a great milestone in the children's school life.  It means that the students are halfway through the year! It is a celebration wherein they can highlight their progress and show how much they have learned through the year.   For Numeracy, they showed their skills in:  skip counting identifying numbers 1 -100 counting on to 100 pattern blocks For Literacy, they made a short story.   We also made our 100 Days Smarter hat.  We did not forget the movement part wherein we did, 10 different kinds of exercises   10 times each.  Can you guess the total?  Then the fun part of filling in the 100 chart with 100 collections they brought to school! Tamaki's 100 beans. Eisuke's 100 collections of gems, pencil...

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...
