Relationship with Yourself and Others

What are the different kinds of relationships?

The preschoolers sorted out pictures according to similarities, connections, and relationships. Together we identified 4 kinds of relationships.

1. Romantic Relationship

2. Family Relationship

3. Friends

4. Acquaintances

Do I know my own feelings?

Children should develop skills in understanding their own emotions and knowing how to react to certain situations. This emotional awareness is important for them to better know and understand themselves, their personalities and characteristics and how these affect their relationships with others.

Using the Emoji Compass Activity, the preschoolers were presented with a scenario and decided on which emojis to go: happy, angry, sad, worried or calm. They were encouraged to think for themselves and identify their own feelings as if they are in that situation.

Sample Scenario:

"You are playing a game that you really like and you lost. How would you feel?"

Responses:

Angry: "Because I always like to win"

Sad: "Because I do not want to lose."

Calm: "We don't always win, we sometimes lose too."

We sat together after and they shared their thoughts.

They realised that...

"Knowing our feelings and the feelings of others avoid us from getting in trouble".

"If we know other people's feelings, what they like and what they don't like then we will be able to do something about it."

Christmas Ornaments

Christmas is just around the corner for the Preschoolers!

The preschoolers created an ornament for the DSKI Christmas Tree.

A woven yarn wreath decorated with pompoms.

During the Christmas Lighting Event, all the classes received an Advent Calendar personally made by the PTA! Today we opened one envelope. The students are excited to have their turn in our Advent Calendar.

Here's a treat for everyone!

Working Together

TAKING ACTION The students are keeping in mind the importance of plants to all living things. Plants - being the ONLY one that can make its own food, and Plants - being the ONLY one that gives us the air or oxygen to live. We have to do something to preserve the plants! They started bringing all sorts of seeds to plant at school. To watermelon seeds, onion stalks, flowers, grapes.. They chose a spot where the plants can get sunshine. They dug the soil. Put in the seeds. And watered them. They did everything that the plants need in order to grow. Students will take turns watering the plants daily. Hopefully these tiny seeds will show us some sprouts before the end of the school year in Preschool. HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES For the unit on How we express ourselves, the preschoolers used their imagination to create different art work on the ipad. They chose their own subject and used the different tools on the drawing...

Our Family

Community is a place where people live together. Our Family Our School Our Community The preschoolers identified themselves as an important member or these groups. Roles are parts that everyone play. We have the Superheroes like Batman, Spiderman and other characters in movies. But what are the things that they do? Those are their responsibilities. Just like us, we all have our responsibilities. The Family Family is the smallest group in a community. Some families are big. Some families are small. But they live together in the same house and do things together and take care of each other. Using their puppets the preschoolers imagined and created a story of things that they did as a family. They had so much fun presenting in the class, changing their voices creating background sounds and simply telling their stories! We also played the Yes, No, Maybe corners where the students decided if they agreed or disagreed with the questions given to them about ...
