Celebrating Growth

Sorting Out our Personal Histories by inquiring about the other members of our extended family. 

As we learn about the people in our ancestry, we will discover what, where, who of how it led to the preschoolers.


They will see their connection with these people as to who they are and later learn a bit of information about them. 


They will also unravel some of the common traits and abilities they personally have. This might have been influenced not directly by their parents, but could also be from the other members of their family. 


The students are encouraged to explore their creativity when creating a visual representation of their Family Tree. 


A solar system, garden, fruit-bearing tree, or the sky - they were risk-takers and took different ways to express their originality. 





They have also worked on a Venn Diagram to explore similarities and differences among themselves. 


By asking questions to their partners, they were able to learn more about each other. This helped develop their communication skills and critical thinking skills. 



Socially, they were also able to communicate and enjoy working with other students that they have not usually played or worked with. 


An evidence that they are changing and growing up as responsible children. 






We also enjoyed a wonderful gardening activity this morning outside the green patch!!

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, ...

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...
