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.

Growth

This week we continue inquiring about our personal histories.  How much have we changed from when we were born to present. We posted the baby photos of all the preschoolers side by side with their current photos.  The students and teachers at school will guess, using the photos and looking for similarities who the preschoolers are.  We will then use these experiment to find out more about the concept of 'change' and 'development' in our unit.  We have also started collecting the pot flower that show the different milestones we have accomplished growing up.  They will talk about their personal stories to all the students in class.  We identified land and water forms and they realized that the water area is so much bigger than the land area!  As part of their history, we also have looked at the map and located the country they were born. From this, we looked at the bigger land area which is the continents that make up the land forms.  We identified ...

A week of celebration

This was a week of celebration.  We were able to watch the students performed their best during the Winter Concert at the MPR.  They danced and sang the Christmas Songs with confidence and pride.  At our Christmas Market, the preschoolers did their assigned responsibilities attentively.  They sat at the table and encouraged everyone to have their pictures taken at our *Perky Picture Perfect* booth.      A reason why ALL the preschoolers were on the nice list and got their presents from Santa!                Big smiles with Santa after receiving their presents. and we are all ready for our Christmas Break!  Enjoy our video,  A celebration of growth and change!

How The World Works

PRESCHOOL ASSEMBLY What a beautiful way to end our unit on celebration, to start a new unit on growth, and to connect it to our unit on imagination. As we begin our new unit on how the world works, the preschool students went around the school premises to list down living things that they saw around them.  As their curiosity kicked in they got so excited and started thinking exactly what living things are.  At first, some characteristics they mentioned about living things were: move  eat drink grow drive cars talk take a bath more But what really is the difference between living and non-living things?  Back in the classroom, we revisited their list and narrowed down the characteristics of living things into these important traits: they eat and drink (food and water) they grow or change they reproduce (make new living things) They agreed that even if something is moving (like robots or cars) it doesn't mean that they are living things. Trees do not move but they eat, ...
