Celebrate

Everyday in our life at preschool is a celebration! 

As part of the Tuning In activities this week, the preschoolers looked at the word "CELEBRATE".


What does it mean to celebrate? 

What do we see, hear, feel, experience when we celebrate? 


How much do we know about different celebrations around the world? 


Through the ‘Gallery Walk’, they saw different photos of ways people around the world celebrate. 


They wrote what they see, think and wonder.


They talked to each other and shared insights about the meaning, message, or importance of what they saw.


 


As they went around and communicated through conversation or writing, they developed language, ideas to help them navigate around their inquiry in this unit. 


Furthermore, they showed their creativity and thoughtful thinking process. 

Without giving away the answer, they drew an object, that represented an event that is celebrated in their family.  


Then the preschoolers enjoyed trying to guess what everybody drew. 



Interestingly, we noted that FOOD, DRINKS, , CLOTHiNG (COSTUMES), and DECORATIONS are common themes that we find in all celebrations. 


Now, the question is, “What is the significance of this event to our family?”

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...

A Day with Nature

From the moment we arrived at Rokkosan Pasteur, excitement was in the air.   The weather was perfect, the animals were curious, and of course the preschoolers couldn’t wait to explore! The highlight of the day? Meeting the  kids —not the classmates, but the adorable baby goats! The students were able to  feed, pet, and even cuddle the goats, horses, sheep . They were gentle and playful. Some preschoolers were a bit hesitant at first, but by the end of the visit, everyone was laughing and eagerly reaching out to connect with the animals. But this trip was about more than just the fun experience. The goal is to extend their learning about  animal care, natural habitat, and the effect of human to other iving things.  These experiences and observing how animals interact in a natural environment were learning in its most genuine form—engaging, memorable, and will have a long-lasting impact on their lives.    As the day came to an end, tired but happy p...
