CULTURE WEEK


What a wonderful way to end our unit on "Understanding personal cultures, beliefs, and traditions, help us celebrate similarities and differences".


The preschoolers shared with their parents their exhibition regarding who they are. 
A way to show how they have developed their different ATL skills. 


Showcasing their COMMUNICATION SKILLS, these young learners tried their best to speak confidently in front of the parents and other students. 

 

They communicated the information they researched about. Made clear connections to themselves and their personal experiences. 


They also demonstrated their developing SOCIAL SKILLS through active listening as they engaged in positive interaction with the audience. 
They built rapport with the audience and other students. 


But what stood out the most was how each student showed their passion in learning about everyone's culture, beliefs, and traditions - or simply WHO THEY ARE.  


It wasn't only about themselves, but everyone in the class. This action clearly demonstrated that they have celebrated everyone else's similarities and differences. 


Consequently, they showed their increasing THINKING SKILLS through their pieces of work and answering the questions from the audience. 



This exhibition marked the first step to these young learners' many more successful inquiries as they developed themselves to become lifelong learners. 





MORE CELEBRATION!!


In our year-long unit on IMAGINATION, the students also prepared for their upcoming assembly after the break. 


They have been busily working with their costumes and practicing for the presentation. 


They worked collaboratively with other students to prepare for the assembly.


Mark your calendars on the 27th MARCH, Thursday Preschool Assembly!

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, ...

Our Country

Know your country. Appreciate your culture.  It is important to know your country's culture to also understand who you are.  As young researchers, the preschoolers looked for information and facts about their country.  They looked at the flag and what it signifies, the population, the capital, food, and popular places. This activity helps them develop cultural awareness which is important as they begin to understand that they came from different backgrounds. Learning about their differences creates a sense of appreciation and respect with people different from them.  "We are better at football!" "Our food is better!" But, it is not a competition of which country is better in football, bigger in size, or which hair color looks better.  It is knowing that they are all here together to celebrate everyone's similarities and differences.    As they become knowledgeable about the bigger picture of their own culture, they also learn to relate better to one an...
