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.

Our Family

Community is a place where people live together.  Our Family Our School Our Community The preschoolers identified themselves as an important member or these groups.  Roles are parts that everyone play. We have the Superheroes like Batman, Spiderman and other characters in movies.  But what are the things that they do? Those are their responsibilities. Just like us, we all have our responsibilities.  The Family Family is the smallest group in a community.  Some families are big. Some families are small. But they live together in the same house and do things together and take care of each other.   Using their puppets the preschoolers imagined and created a story of things that they did as a family. They had so much fun presenting in the class, changing their voices creating background sounds and simply telling their stories! We also played the Yes, No, Maybe corners where the students decided if they agreed or disagreed with the questions given to them about ...

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...
