Paper Work



We use imagination to express creativity..


As we welcome 2025, the preschoolers started the week using their imagination!



Since we are finding out about different ways to use imagination to express creativity,


The students made a connection as we are learning about the difference between 2D and 3D shapes in Math.



They used different shapes to create an abstract picture or a scene.


This activity also develops their fine motor skills through cutting and pasting.


The challenge is not to use any details (by drawing or coloring) on the paper but to clearly depict the image only through connecting the shapes.


In the end, they were able to create beautiful pieces of art.

They will continue finding out more about the year-long unit on Imagination!

ENERGY IN PRESCHOOL

  FOOD CHAIN An order in which living things depend on each other for food. We have identified food as one of the things living things need to live.  This is the same for both plants and animals. However, we are not as lucky as the plants - they can make their own food!  The sun helps them make food through the process called ' photosynthesis'.   And because of this special power, plants are called producers. They start the food chain and transfer energy to the consumers. We have learned about the different animal groups and the preschool used their knowledge to create their food chain.    They chose one animal and using their knowledge about animals, they showed how animal get their food.  Next week, we will continue with our inquiry answering the question: How do animals go through a process of change?

Working Together

TAKING ACTION The students are keeping in mind the importance of plants to all living things.  Plants - being the ONLY one that can make its own food, and Plants - being the ONLY one that gives us the air or oxygen to live. We have to do something to preserve the plants!   They started bringing all sorts of seeds to plant at school.  To watermelon seeds, onion stalks, flowers, grapes..  They chose a spot where the plants can get sunshine.  They dug the soil. Put in the seeds. And watered them. They did everything that the plants need in order to grow.    Students will take turns watering the plants daily.  Hopefully these tiny seeds will show us some sprouts before the end of the school year in Preschool.    HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES For the unit on How we express ourselves, the preschoolers used their imagination to create different art work on the ipad.  They chose their own  subject and used the different tools on the drawing...

" "Why do kids have to go to school? " " Why do paople make books? " " As good ...
