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.

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?

Working Together

TAKING ACTION The students are keeping in mind the importance of plants to all living things.  Plants - being the ONLY one that can make its own food, and Plants - being the ONLY one that gives us the air or oxygen to live. We have to do something to preserve the plants!   They started bringing all sorts of seeds to plant at school.  To watermelon seeds, onion stalks, flowers, grapes..  They chose a spot where the plants can get sunshine.  They dug the soil. Put in the seeds. And watered them. They did everything that the plants need in order to grow.    Students will take turns watering the plants daily.  Hopefully these tiny seeds will show us some sprouts before the end of the school year in Preschool.    HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES For the unit on How we express ourselves, the preschoolers used their imagination to create different art work on the ipad.  They chose their own  subject and used the different tools on the drawing...
