Preschoolers ASK QUESTIONS

UNIT OF INQUIRY

How are the roles and responsibilities of the people at DSKI help make the school run smoothly?

This week preschoolers went around the school to find out the answers to their BURNING QUESTIONS.



Why do you look at the TV outside and look at the gate and the bus?
Why the bus driver pick up the students?


“Why do you Mr. Inman go to our classroom?”


“What do you do in school, Miumi-san?”


“Why do students need to learn to read and write?”


“Will schools be okay without teachers?”


Amalia asking Mr. Inman her question.

The preschoolers SORTED OUT the information they have gathered from their interview. They then made a connection to the members of the school community to the different parts of the body. They labeled each part with the members of the school community and explained why they decided to place them in each of the parts.


Thoughtful responses from the Preschoolers! 


LITERACY
Preschoolers looked into another important STORY ELEMENT - The SETTING.
Setting is the place and the time in the story. 

 

 

 

They were inspired and came up with their own idea for a story. 
They imagined and drew their own character and the setting! 
I can't wait to see how their story will progress!

    To say that I'm impressed is to say nothing.
    I looked closely at the picture "Sorting out". What ideas kids have! And about my girl I have been telling her for 2,5 years years (as she had this question) that even if she doesn't see me or daddy, we still love her snd we live in her heart and it is for ever, we will be in her heart all her life. And now these are not only words but she feels it. I knew it but i'm still touched deeply.

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...
