Sorting Out the Roles and Responsibilities

For the Sorting Out stage in our Inquiry on the roles and responsibilities, the preschoolers wrote a riddle about their chosen community helper.

Through their research, they were able to gather information and knowledge about the different roles and responsibilities of people in the community.

]

The prompt 'What do you see?' was used to describe the different things, experiences, tools, people, and the environment they see in their jobs.

We all wear different hats.

Meaning, we take on many different roles and responsibilities in life. As early as preschoolers, students need to understand that these hats are important and help them create relationships with one another and with the people in their community.

So they created a hat and put it on their head to represent themselves as experts in their chosen community helper.

They wrote an informative book which will provide information about:

the roles and responsibilities

the tools used

the uniform or clothes

transportations,

and

the people they work together with

They are continuously searching for information that will them understand more about these people.

Their first experience as researchers paved the way for them to learn more about themselves as learners. They are encouraged to manage their time by starting, keep a steady pace and finish on time.

Yes, they have deadlines now that they have to meet!

and it is their responsibility to meet the deadline and produce work that they can be proud of.

The preschoolers will show their understanding to their parents during the Parent Teacher Conferences.

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 ...
