Going Further with our Learning

 

 When they worked,
they really worked.
When they played,
they really played! 
- Dr. Seuss -

This quote from Dr. Seuss is the perfect statement to describe what the Preschoolers have accomplished in their (not so) mini-exhibition.

The Preschoolers ended the unit with an amazing performance task.
They filled the school's hallways with colorful works which reflect their understanding of the unit on 'Who We Are'. 

This is a big challenge for the preschoolers as they stepped in to the first level in their Lower Primary year and they are slowly starting to live and breathe the IB PYP Program. 

In this exhibition, the preschoolers shared to the school community their understanding of the Inquiry Cycle. From Tuning In until Taking Action.

 They have implemented student's agencies by showing ownership of their own learning and the action that comes from that learning. 

 

 

They also showed the connection of the unit to Literacy, Numeracy and Arts.  


In writing, they created their own fictional character and wrote a short story about it. 
The theme of their stories evolved around friendship, family and acquaintances. 

 

 

 


The Action Wall / Thought - Full Jar
One of the main highlights in the exhibition. 

During the winter break, the preschoolers initiated an action and invited their family members to sit down and plan an activity together. 
In this wall, students and parents will also enjoy reading and discovering how families have different personalities and choices. 

Above all, this wall is a proof that the school and home have a good relationship and are working together to support DSKI students' learning. 


Everyone is welcome to pick one paper inside the 'Thought-Full" Jar and read a meaningful affirmation from the preschoolers. The purpose of this jar is to make everyone feel special and happy.

They presented to their parents their (not so) mini exhibition and came back to the classroom proud and happy!
 



Connecting HOME and SCHOOL
makes DSKI a 
GREAT COMMUNITY of LEARNERS!

First Week in Preschool

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 ...
