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.

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...

Field Trip

FIELD TRIP Children who experience a holistic development during their younger school years grow up to become global citizens.  Taking the students out of the classroom  is important because it provides a balance between indoor and outdoor activities. It prepares them for what it is like in the real world.  As part of our unit on How The World Works which focuses on the science of living things, the preschoolers went out on a field trip to Rokkosan Pasture. In here, the students were immersed and had access to a different environment,  the farm habitat together with the animals who live there.  They experienced interactive learning by feeding and getting up close with these friendly and hungry goats. They observed how the animals shared space and played inside their homes. They were able to make connections on how they, as preschoolers socially interact with one another inside the classroom.   The parents who joined the trip also became the teachers a...
