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!

PRESCHOOLERS and their FAMILIES

  The FAMILY TREE helps the Preschoolers understand the relationship of each members of their family. This representation helps them understand the roles of the mother, father, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, and cousins play in their life history.  The Preschoolers continued to inquire about the personal histories of their family. They worked on their own Family Tree and have started SORTING OUT information that they have gathered from the interview with their parents, discussions and their own knowledge about the members of their family.          They have also made a visual representation of who lives in our home.  Before the Golden week, they did a series mapping exercise.  The place where they have lived or where they have travelled.

Field Trip

FIELD TRIP Children who experience a holistic development during their younger school years grow up to become global citizens.  Taking the students out of the classroom  is important because it provides a balance between indoor and outdoor activities. It prepares them for what it is like in the real world.  As part of our unit on How The World Works which focuses on the science of living things, the preschoolers went out on a field trip to Rokkosan Pasture. In here, the students were immersed and had access to a different environment,  the farm habitat together with the animals who live there.  They experienced interactive learning by feeding and getting up close with these friendly and hungry goats. They observed how the animals shared space and played inside their homes. They were able to make connections on how they, as preschoolers socially interact with one another inside the classroom.   The parents who joined the trip also became the teachers a...
