Happy Day


In this new unit on, where we are in place and time, ''Histories", preschoolers will inquire about the central idea, personal histories allow us to reflect on and celebrate growth and change. They will be look into: 
  • personal histories (connection)
  • important events that lead to change (perspective)
  • personal change from birth to present (change)

Hence, what a good way to start the unit with a memorable event that happened this week - DSKI Halloween! 


They came to school dressed in costume and posed for a photo with a big smile on their faces! 


The memories of this week's event were documented in their daily journal which they started for this unit. 


They recorded about some of their everyday experiences and journey in preschool . It is as simple as how they feel that day, the reason why, what they enjoyed doing, and something they learned that day.


This will give them an opportunity later on to reflect and celebrate changes as they read back their journal.


 




 

As part of our Tuning In activitiy in the new unit, the students worked collaboratively with their table groups and completed a 'See Think Wonder' .


Being able to work with a group also proved that the Preschoolers have changed and can carry out responsibilities assigned to them. 


They assigned a person and wrote the responses. 


Another student prompted or asked the questions.


Together, they all celebrated the result of their teamwork and were proud with their accomplishment on the task given. 

Next week we will continue with our Tuning In activities and will be sharing more about our personal histories!

First Week in Preschool

The preschoolers started the school year with the Enrolment Party.  The students together with their parents come to school all dressed-up and ready to attend their frist day in Primary School.  They were entertained by the frist graders who did the short play about the School cone. Afterwhich, they received their school cone from the teacher. Together, the new preschoolers and Ms. Faye went to the vist their classroom and enjoyed their first read-a-loud!  They did their first day of school work! I WONDER..... Since the start of the all inquiry is asking questions,  we started the unit on 'How we organize ourselves' with a lot of provocations.  Through these provocations, the preschoolers started forming questions and we gathered them and added in our wonder wall.  "Why do policeman and fire fighters and ambulance work together eventhough they have their orn jobs? " "Why do kids have to go to school? " " Why do paople make books? " " As good ...

Our Family

Community is a place where people live together.  Our Family Our School Our Community The preschoolers identified themselves as an important member or these groups.  Roles are parts that everyone play. We have the Superheroes like Batman, Spiderman and other characters in movies.  But what are the things that they do? Those are their responsibilities. Just like us, we all have our responsibilities.  The Family Family is the smallest group in a community.  Some families are big. Some families are small. But they live together in the same house and do things together and take care of each other.   Using their puppets the preschoolers imagined and created a story of things that they did as a family. They had so much fun presenting in the class, changing their voices creating background sounds and simply telling their stories! We also played the Yes, No, Maybe corners where the students decided if they agreed or disagreed with the questions given to them about ...

Growth

This week we continue inquiring about our personal histories.  How much have we changed from when we were born to present. We posted the baby photos of all the preschoolers side by side with their current photos.  The students and teachers at school will guess, using the photos and looking for similarities who the preschoolers are.  We will then use these experiment to find out more about the concept of 'change' and 'development' in our unit.  We have also started collecting the pot flower that show the different milestones we have accomplished growing up.  They will talk about their personal stories to all the students in class.  We identified land and water forms and they realized that the water area is so much bigger than the land area!  As part of their history, we also have looked at the map and located the country they were born. From this, we looked at the bigger land area which is the continents that make up the land forms.  We identified ...
