Who we are

 

The preschoolers have gained an understanding about what makes them who they are from the unit on personal histories. They looked into changes and growth and the different developmental milestones they have accomplished over the years. 



This week, the preschoolers started tuning in on the idea, understanding personal cultures, beliefs, and traditions helps us celebrate similarities and differences


We started breaking down the unit words we are using throughout this unit.

SIMILARITIES 
DIFFERENCES


They worked with a partner to complete a VENN diagram to record characteristics, traits, choices, and experiences. 


They asked each other 'small questions' and wrote their responses.

What are small questions? 
These are questions that they can easily answer with a yes or no response. 
They are specific and no need to think deeply and explain the answers more. 


It was a great exercise for the preschoolers on building skills on how to create more meaningful questions or we call them - BIG QUESTIONS


In this unit, we will continue to build an understanding of the theme 'WHO WE ARE'


As it will be a lot of collaboration among the students, together they will work on social interactions and will get to know more about each other. 


For NUMERACY, the preschoolers looked at shapes. 2D and 3D shapes.


They went around the school and hunted for concrete objects and examples of 3D shapes. 


 It was amazing to see how these little inquirers are getting better at working together.

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...

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...
