We had Letter Sound Hunt for Exploration Time and the preschoolers looked for objects that begins with the letter sound from our wheel! This activity develops letter-sound knowledge as well as their listening skills and connecting what they already know as they look for which objects begins with the same sound.

As we explore the concept of "Cause and Effect", the preschoolers shared their thoughts and ideas through our Block Play

With the question "what would happen if..." and comments such as "how about..." the children build on their idea of making houses and towers

They explored different ways to extend their works, like making the house bigger or adding blocks to make the tower go higher. Cloud also tried stacking the paper cups in different orientations and would observe when the paper cups looked like they were falling and arranged them before it happens.

The children showed creativity and critical thinking skills as they observe and act on their ideas to solve and give solutions to their problems.

For Tech Training, we explored the different features in Zoom that we use for class. We talked about the audio and video settings, as well as the annotate feature, screen sharing, and even how to use the remote control buttons to control teacher's screen!!

# data[].attributes.body
The preschoolers explore how to use the annotate button. They drew scribbles, lines, and even use the stamp and arrow buttons!

# data[].attributes.body
To further practice the use of annotation in Zoom, we had a Connect The Dot activity wherein the preschoolers took turns connecting the letters as they say the letters of the alphabet. This activity enhances their knowledge of the alphabet as well as learning while exploring the different things we could do through gadgets and technology.

# data[].attributes.body
As continuation to our Tech Training for kids, we played around with patterns by clicking and dragging the fuzz bugs around the screen to complete the patterns. We learn and explore the use of technology while also learning about patterns!

Our Preschoolers used different materials to make their buildings tall! They used cups, popsicle sticks, building blocks, and even Legos for our activity!

We counted how many layers they have and also the cups that they used! Lia shared she used 10 cups while Charlie used 3 blocks and added a cup that is upside down!

# data[].attributes.body
Charlie shared that his cups and building blocks were "balancing". He said that his tower is not falling but when he moved the building block on top a little to the side, the cups and blocks fell over 🤭

# data[].attributes.body
With some help, Paloma made her building tall using 2 popsicle sticks in each layer and plastic cups. She stacked them on top of each other and rebuilds them again when it falls over.

# data[].attributes.body
Jason built his tower using 2 popsicle sticks and cups too! But look, the mouth of the cup is on top in each layer! 😲

# data[].attributes.body
With some help too, Lia stacked her cups, she also counted how many cups she used to make them. Take a look! Which do you think is taller? Is it Lia or her tower? 🤔💭

# data[].attributes.body
Through controls and screen sharing, Keisha clicked and dragged the monsters inside the boxes as we count all the way to 100! Can you fill in the missing numbers too? 🙌🏻

# data[].attributes.body
The Preschoolers explored Soap and Water solutions. They mixed dish soap and water together and shared their different observations. Most of them shared how the water turned "bubbly" and wanted to try touching or popping the bubbles (Priam: Can you pop the bubbles?) They also tried using the materials in different ways, like holding the whisk in between and rubbing their hands together, while some only used one hand to mix using the whisk.

Then, we added food coloring or paint to continue exploring mixing and colors, the preschoolers shared how the colors turned from a lighter color to a darker color. Sophie tried mixing green, yellow, red, and blue making her soapy solution turns into black. Luna also shared how she had light purple then it turned to dark purple.

# data[].attributes.body
After the activity, the preschoolers shared what they observed about the activity. Here are some of their feedback and comments about it!

# data[].attributes.body
The Kinder kids counted objects and chose which shows the correct number. Luna and Keisha demonstrated one-to-one correspondence as they count.

In this photo, Luna tried counting in Filipino then stopped when she reached sampu or ten. Then, she continued counting the remaining objects in English. We also practiced saying sixteen in Filipino, labing-anim.

# data[].attributes.body
Jason was able to do the first activity for our Red Cabbage Chemistry! He shared how the water moves as it boils and saw some bubbles too! He talked about how the water changed its color because of the purple cabbage.

The other Preschoolers shared their ideas about "What does boil mean?"
Lia: Boil means when you boil something it steams and it becomes hot.
Rafa and Yago: Boiling means you're burning fire.
Rafa: It's boiling water!
Jason: also burning fire!

To conclude our activity, we introduced 3 words: boiling water, gas, and evaporation.
