Student-led inquiry at work! This fall students in

Student-led inquiry at work! This fall students in our older preschool class expressed curiosity about skin tone and our teachers embraced their inquiry. They started by reading "Shades of People". Towards the end of the book, our students naturally started comparing their skin tone with their neighbors in the circle and lots of great observations happened. The children noticed what was similar and what was different. They complimented each other on their skin tone and made comparisons to objects or things that matched that color in the world. The last page of the book is a photo of hands together in a circle. When our preschoolers saw the photo they naturally started to do it on their own! It was a touching and beautiful moment of camaraderie and inclusivity. 💜

Check out the numerous ways in which our preschoolers have been learning with pumpkins!

They worked on measuring and estimation by guessing which ribbon will wrap around a pumpkin.

They washed, cut open, and scooped out pumpkins to discover and learn about the various parts: skin, fibrous strands, stem, ribs, seeds, and pulp! Then the preschoolers experimented with each of the parts to determine if they sink or float.

They used observational skills to paint still-life pictures of pumpkins. They built their fine motor strength and hand-eye coordination by hammering golf tees into pumpkins (this was a favorite activity!).

Our preschoolers are also building their science skills and vocabulary through a pumpkin decay observation. They learned the word "hypothesis" and made predictions about what will happen to their pumpkin over time. So far, their observations include great descriptors such as “soft”, “bumpy”, “cold and warm”, “smells good”, and “wet”.

These pumpkins have a lot of learning experiences to offer and they certainly do bring us a lot of joy to boot!
