A Learning Adventure

A Learning Adventure

Preschools are vibrant spaces full of curiosity, imagination, and discovery.

When these early learning environments are connected with real-world research, especially involving animals, children gain powerful hands-on experiences that support their development across multiple areas.

It was inspiring to witness how the preschoolers collaborated with each other about a specific animal group. This group work not only enriched the children’s learning but also contributed to their understanding.

Participating in research strengthens many core developmental skills in preschoolers. They learn to focus and attention to detail, find information, and record either in words, drawing or storytelling which build early literacy and communication skills.

Working in groups fosters cooperation and problem-solving.

Most importantly, these experiences nurture empathy and respect for living creatures, promoting environmental awareness from an early age.

As they were working on their research, they found answers to some of the questions at the start of the unit. They have documented these answers to keep track of all the knowledge they have gained throughout the unit.

One sunny spring morning, the preschoolers zipped up their jackets, grabbed their clipboards, and set off on a very special adventure—to the Rokko Island l tulip garden.

Since we are learning about living things - both plants and animals, this wasn’t just a pretty place to visit; it was a living classroom. The children explored, observed, and learn about living things in the real world.

As soon as the preschoolers arrived at the garden, their eyes lit up.

Bright red, yellow, pink, and purple tulips stretched out like a rainbow in front of them.

The tulip garden offered more than just pretty flowers. It became a space to explore science concepts in a hands-on way.

We will use this experience to learn what plants need to live. We talked about how plants grow from bulbs, and how insects and animals help flowers by spreading pollen.

The adventure to the tulip garden was more than just a field trip—it was a meaningful learning experience.

It showed the children that nature is full of life, color, and wonder. By seeing, touching, and asking questions, they deepened their understanding of the world around them and their role in taking care of it.

Our Family

Community is a place where people live together. Our Family Our School Our Community The preschoolers identified themselves as an important member or these groups. Roles are parts that everyone play. We have the Superheroes like Batman, Spiderman and other characters in movies. But what are the things that they do? Those are their responsibilities. Just like us, we all have our responsibilities. The Family Family is the smallest group in a community. Some families are big. Some families are small. But they live together in the same house and do things together and take care of each other. Using their puppets the preschoolers imagined and created a story of things that they did as a family. They had so much fun presenting in the class, changing their voices creating background sounds and simply telling their stories! We also played the Yes, No, Maybe corners where the students decided if they agreed or disagreed with the questions given to them about ...

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...
