Sorting Out


What should I do with the knowledge I have learned in this unit?

As this unit on 'Personal Histories' is about to end, the preschoolers are sorting out all the information they have gathered. They have organized their learning through the many works that they have done throughout the inquiry. 



Next week, they will share with the everyone their PERSONAL HISTORIES in the story they are writing. 


The different timelines they created will show the IMPORTANT EVENTS  that happened to them. These are also evidences of the PERSONAL CHANGES that occurred from birth to present.

The family tree that they created and the stories behind the different members of the family are also part of their stories and who they are.  Through this, we are hoping that they preschoolers will be able to understand that many factors affected their values, personalities and whatever they are right now.   


Integrating Art competences in the unit, preschoolers created a self-portrait. They looked at their features in a mirror as they draw their face. 


They learned the proper position of the facial features as well as shape and proportion. 



Learning about their personal lives and history are important to inspire young children to develop intellectual and emotional growth.

Growth

This week we continue inquiring about our personal histories.  How much have we changed from when we were born to present. We posted the baby photos of all the preschoolers side by side with their current photos.  The students and teachers at school will guess, using the photos and looking for similarities who the preschoolers are.  We will then use these experiment to find out more about the concept of 'change' and 'development' in our unit.  We have also started collecting the pot flower that show the different milestones we have accomplished growing up.  They will talk about their personal stories to all the students in class.  We identified land and water forms and they realized that the water area is so much bigger than the land area!  As part of their history, we also have looked at the map and located the country they were born. From this, we looked at the bigger land area which is the continents that make up the land forms.  We identified ...

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, ...
