Preschoolers are Finding Out

The preschoolers are FINDING OUT more information about their school community. They looked at photos of some of the people who work at DSKI. They coloured in the emojis to signify how familiar they are with the person in the photo.

They realised that they did not know a lot of the people in the pictures and what they do for the school. They toured around the school and searched for them and to see where they are and what they do in school.

As INQUIRERS, they also asked questions to understand the roles and responsibilities of the people working in the school community.

"What do you do?"

"Do you like your job? Why do you like it?"

"Why are you a teacher?"

"What makes you important in our school?"

"What are your responsibilities as a student?"

"Why do you help us?"

"Why do you have to clean the whole school?"

How are these people helping each other make the DSKI community run smoothly? We'll find out next week!

Night of the Student Led Conference

Preschoolers practice for their upcoming Student Led Conference (SLC) by engaging in mock sessions with peers and teachers.

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...

Entering the world of imagination

Children use imagination to write poems and create artworks in wonderfully instinctive and unfiltered ways. They are not constrained by thinking or grammar rules and truly believe simple things in life. This kind of imaginative freedom allows them to create words and images that we might not even consider. They use personal experience and reimagine things. They write freely without filter and mix real life with fantasy to create rich, expressive writing. They can use this form of writing to develop self-confidence and connections with themselves and others. In Artwork, they use their creative imagination to create symbolic representation that we, as adults, could never have imagined. Children represent the world how they feel it, not just how they see it. Their artworks become a portal to an entirely new worlds. In this unit on how we express ourselves, preschoolers will be encouraged to use: Open-ended materials (like...
