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.

Changes

"Why are all people different?" -Tamaki- I think that this is one of the most difficult question a child can ask. Even I couldn't find the correct or the exact answers to this. However, 'Guess the Baby' experiment shows that we, somehow all look alike at some stage in our lives - when we are babies. We looked at the strip of papers and the names written. We found out that a lot of the guesses where wrong and mixed up. We asked some teachers and students and they had a difficult time guessing the babies. "They all look alike!" was the common response that we heard. But, if we look closely and pay attention, we can see that, the same baby is still there. So today, we have revealed the names of the babies! Look at their photos... THEN and NOW Tamaki "The shape of the face looks the same." Ciel Not one person guessed Ciel. Well, Ciel didn't even recognize his own photo! Koh "He still looks the same." Daisy "Her smile and

ENERGY IN PRESCHOOL

FOOD CHAIN An order in which living things depend on each other for food. We have identified food as one of the things living things need to live. This is the same for both plants and animals. However, we are not as lucky as the plants - they can make their own food! The sun helps them make food through the process called ' photosynthesis'. And because of this special power, plants are called producers. They start the food chain and transfer energy to the consumers. We have learned about the different animal groups and the preschool used their knowledge to create their food chain. They chose one animal and using their knowledge about animals, they showed how animal get their food. Next week, we will continue with our inquiry answering the question: How do animals go through a process of change?

DEFINING HISTORY

Personal History "Making your own story" - Perky Preschool - SEE THINK WONDER As a provocation for our new unit on "personal histories allow us to reflect on and celebrate growth and change", we did a ' See Think Wonder' Thinking Routine activity. In groups, the students looked at photos related to the unit and wrote down things that they see, what they thought and wonderings that they may have. This thinking routine was then used as a springboard to unlock our unit vocabulary words such as: personal, history, events, and change. TIMELINE The students also completed a simple timeline that shows the past, present and future. As we inquire further in the unit, they will be able to gain more detailed knowledge about their personal history. NUMERACY / LITERACY This week we also started with our math and reading stations. During the different station activities, each group will get a chance to explore different concepts and activities that will help strengt
