Working Together

As preschool ended the first unit on how we organize ourselves, which focused on roles and responsibility, they worked collaboration.

Understanding that each members of the family, school, and outside community should work together as a team to make everything easier.

It should not be a competition,

it is not being the best in a group,

but making sure that everyone is happy and doing their part to do the work.

In a group, there will people who will not agree but we should talk about it and make a choice that is good for everyone.

Through this activity they worked together and gave their part to do the work.

By taking turns,

assigning roles,

making sure that you do your part,

giving your best effort,

asking for help when needed

and

sharing your ideas,

are only some strategies to make any work easier and productive.

But see the faces of these proud young inquirers after presenting their work to the class!

We had some risk-takers and communicators up in front.

A start of the new beginning for more wonderful experiences and fun at Preschool.

A week of celebration

This was a week of celebration. We were able to watch the students performed their best during the Winter Concert at the MPR. They danced and sang the Christmas Songs with confidence and pride. At our Christmas Market, the preschoolers did their assigned responsibilities attentively. They sat at the table and encouraged everyone to have their pictures taken at our *Perky Picture Perfect* booth. A reason why ALL the preschoolers were on the nice list and got their presents from Santa! Big smiles with Santa after receiving their presents. and we are all ready for our Christmas Break! Enjoy our video, A celebration of growth and change!

How The World Works

PRESCHOOL ASSEMBLY What a beautiful way to end our unit on celebration, to start a new unit on growth, and to connect it to our unit on imagination. As we begin our new unit on how the world works, the preschool students went around the school premises to list down living things that they saw around them. As their curiosity kicked in they got so excited and started thinking exactly what living things are. At first, some characteristics they mentioned about living things were: move eat drink grow drive cars talk take a bath more But what really is the difference between living and non-living things? Back in the classroom, we revisited their list and narrowed down the characteristics of living things into these important traits: they eat and drink (food and water) they grow or change they reproduce (make new living things) They agreed that even if something is moving (like robots or cars) it doesn't mean that they are living things. Trees do not move but they eat, ...

Our Country

Know your country. Appreciate your culture. It is important to know your country's culture to also understand who you are. As young researchers, the preschoolers looked for information and facts about their country. They looked at the flag and what it signifies, the population, the capital, food, and popular places. This activity helps them develop cultural awareness which is important as they begin to understand that they came from different backgrounds. Learning about their differences creates a sense of appreciation and respect with people different from them. "We are better at football!" "Our food is better!" But, it is not a competition of which country is better in football, bigger in size, or which hair color looks better. It is knowing that they are all here together to celebrate everyone's similarities and differences. As they become knowledgeable about the bigger picture of their own culture, they also learn to relate better to one an...
