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.

First Week in Preschool

The preschoolers started the school year with the Enrolment Party.  The students together with their parents come to school all dressed-up and ready to attend their frist day in Primary School.  They were entertained by the frist graders who did the short play about the School cone. Afterwhich, they received their school cone from the teacher. 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
