Curious Writers

Even at a young age, preschoolers are capable of exploring the world around them with curiosity and excitement. One way to encourage this natural curiosity is by helping them learn how to research animals and prepare for informative writing. 


While preschoolers are still learning to read and write, they are developing early research and communication skills through guided exploration, observation, and discussion.


A key part of research is asking questions. 

Preschoolers are guided to ask simple questions about animals, such as:

What does the animal eat?

Where does it live?

What does it look like?

How does it take care of its babies?



When they finish their informative writing, they will share it with their classmates, family members, and the school community. 

Sharing their work builds confidence and shows them that their ideas and voices matter.



Although preschoolers are just beginning their writing journeys, they are already engaged in simple and meaningful research. 

With guidance and support, they learn how to gather information, ask questions, and communicate what they know. 


These are the first steps toward becoming thoughtful and curious writers—and researchers for life.

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...
