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 the responsibilities of the different members in the family. 


Then, they drew the different things I DO with my family. 


And the things that I WISH we do as a family. 




The preschoolers are spending a lot of time becoming thinkers, realizing that not all families are the same. But there are some things that are common to all such as: Enjoying meals together, traveling together and spending time together. 



Next week we will FIND OUT more about the responsibilities in the family and the importance of making sure we all do our part in the family.

Night of the Student Led Conference

Preschoolers practice for their upcoming Student Led Conference (SLC) by engaging in mock sessions with peers and teachers. These practices help the students build confidence as they learn to talk about their artwork, classroom routines, and personal growth.  Using the checklist prompted by visuals like portfolios and photo displays, preschoolers explain their learning journey in simple, meaningful ways. Practicing ahead of the actual conference allows them to feel prepared and proud to share with their families.  It fosters communication skills, independence, and a strong sense of ownership over their learning — all foundational for future academic and social success. During the actual Student Led Conference, preschoolers experienced a range of emotions. Some felt nervous facing their parents, while others were visibly tired or overwhelmed by the attention.  A few needed gentle support to stay engaged. On the other hand, many confidently shared their work, explained clas...

Entering the world of imagination

Children use imagination to write poems and create artworks in wonderfully instinctive and unfiltered ways.  They are not constrained by thinking or grammar rules and truly believe simple things in life.  This kind of imaginative freedom allows them to create words and images that we might not even consider. They use personal experience and reimagine things. They write freely without filter and   mix real life with fantasy to create rich, expressive writing. They can use this form of writing to develop self-confidence and connections with themselves and others.  In Artwork, they use their creative imagination to create symbolic representation that we, as adults, could never have imagined.  Children represent the world how they feel it, not just how they see it.  Their artworks become a portal to an entirely new worlds. In this unit on  how we express ourselves,  preschoolers will be encouraged to use: Open-ended materials (like...
