Research preparation

 This week, the preschoolers continued inquiring into roles, responsibilities within different communities. They have been taking the necessary steps to prepare for their finding out stage, by becoming  principled researchers!

To prepare themselves for the role of interviewer, the preschoolers spent time practicing basic interview etiquette with their partners. The practiced how to greet the interviewee, how to introduce themselves and how to conclude the interview. They seem just about ready to interview members of their family and school communities. 

The Busy Bees have also been spending time speaking about what makes our classroom community a happy, working and positive space. They all agreed that showing kindness and care is a responsibility that we all share in making our hive a happy one. They shared lovely ideas for how they can be a good friend to their classmate.

As brave risk-takers, the preschoolers took part in our first earthquake drill for the school year. They showed wonderful listening skills in an effort to practice what we do in case of an earthquake emergency. Well done Busy Bees, for understanding your responsibility in helping us all keep safe!

We were very happy to welcome a few special guests to our classroom this week, students from Pre-K and K1! The little learners came to gather information about how their preschool friends get to school every morning, as they inquire into different modes of transport. It was so special having the youngest learners in our school come visit us!

Next week, the Busy Bees will conclude their research and reflect on the results of their school and family community research tasks.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone, and the national holidays coupled with the weekend, too!
