Our colorful hands

We are all different.

But,

We are all amazing, colorful and beautiful

- Perky Preschool -

We looked at all the hands outside the preschool wall.

We wondered and shared words that inspired us from these hands.

'colorful, different, beautiful, helping, rainbow, unique, amazing, together...'

From the list of words, we came up with one idea,

'We are all different but we are all amazing, colorful and beautiful.'

It was an exercise that showed us that despite everyone's differences in opinions and beliefs we can come up with one similar idea that we can all celebrate.

Based on what the Preschoolers brainstormed about culture, we did a survey in the grade 1 class.

We asked about;

the country they are from,

languages they speak

important celebration,

popular food in their country,

hair color, and

eye color.

These information will be put together and be used to understand the culture of students in the Lower Primary.

The preschools also used the school ipads and learned how to take photos and editing.

This supported one of the ATLs - Social Skills.

They took turns and practiced compromising with each other.

They worked collaboratively with other students.

Together enjoyed the experience and build connection.

They will have more opportunities to share these collaborative time with one another as we continue to discover about everyone's cultures, beliefs and traditions.

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, ...
