Welcome to Preschool Class. I am Bonebiev and I am the Preschool Teacher. Lovely to meet you all.
First-term has always been an exciting time not only for me but also for the little ones, they get to meet new faces and get to know other students, and make friends eventually. Aside from the excitement of meeting others, the first couple of weeks or months the max could be very challenging too for both students and teachers. The transition period has always been difficult for this age especially for those who just started schooling and have never been into this kind of environment where they see lots of new faces, different students, and teachers.
In this term, our focus for the first couple of months is to help them adjust. Get settled into a new environment, learn new skills, and get used to our daily routines. Once they're settled and have mastered our daily routine, we then focus on helping them build and develop their personal, social, and emotional development. We also help them with their communication and physical development. Moreover, we help them build their vocabularies by teaching them new letters and words each week. We also work on their small motor skills and have our weekly letter tracing and coloring. In term 1, we learned the letters A to M. We've also started reading the Pre-primer sight words, and the students are doing a great job.
This term's Unit of Inquiry (UOI) is all about "Who We Are" and Central Idea is "Relationship and communities build identity." Our lines of inquiry are as follows:
- Change - How I am changing
- Perspective - How I am different from others
- Connection - Myself as a part of a group
