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.

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!

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...
