Preschoolers are CURIOUS


What could be a fun way to learn about the life cycle of a plant? 

This week, the preschoolers started observing how plants grow and change. 
Day 1
Preschoolers put their seeds in a cup.

Day 2
They saw a little sprout starting to come out and noticed that the skin was coming off.

Day 3
The sprout was getting longer and longer..


Everyday they completed their observation notebook. They wrote the day, the date, how it looked like, and labeled the drawing. Lastly, they wrote down their observations. 


Preschoolers also learned how to use the ruler and measure in centimeters! 

 

They used magnifying lens to zoom in to the seeds and have a better look of the changes that was happening.

 

To develop their research skills, Preschoolers started looking at books related to the unit. They copied and wrote down information they found and draw things that interest them.

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...

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...

A place and time

We can steer ourselves to the direction we choose, It works,  if it's the right place, and  the right time. - Ms. Faye - We explored the world together in the Preschool class! We traveled to different places - cities, countries, continents and oceans in Google Earth . We enjoyed the ride from these places and ended up in our school  DSK International . Intelligent  conversations emerged from this activity and questions just kept on coming!  "Why are the countries separated? Why can't it only be one big country?" "How long it will take us to come to Japan if we ride a boat from Germany?" "Why do people travel?"  "What happens, when the sun is on the other side of the earth?" And I am proud to say that, at that moment, the Preschoolers' INQUIRY begins. From Google Earth, we moved on to familiarizing ourselves and discovering the differences and similarities between a GLOBE and MAP.  I was surprised that some of the students know the dir...
