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...

Meet the Animals

Students have been actively engaged in preparing for our upcoming Animal Exhibit, showcasing their learning through research, creativity, and collaboration. Each student selected an animal of interest, explored its habitat, diet, and unique adaptations, and created a visual display to share their findings. This week the preschoolers worked in teams to group animals according to their natural habitats—such as grassland, fresh water, polar region, ocean, and forest.  Together, they collaborated to research the features and designed a small-scale habitat that reflect the unique features of each ecosystem. This group project fostered teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity as students and teachers combined their knowledge and ideas to create cohesive, informative, and visually engaging designs.  The final displays beautifully showcase both the diversity of animal life and the power of collaboration. As part of the preparation, preschoolers will practice presentation skills and t...
