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!

A week of celebration

This was a week of celebration.  We were able to watch the students performed their best during the Winter Concert at the MPR.  They danced and sang the Christmas Songs with confidence and pride.  At our Christmas Market, the preschoolers did their assigned responsibilities attentively.  They sat at the table and encouraged everyone to have their pictures taken at our *Perky Picture Perfect* booth.      A reason why ALL the preschoolers were on the nice list and got their presents from Santa!                Big smiles with Santa after receiving their presents. and we are all ready for our Christmas Break!  Enjoy our video,  A celebration of growth and change!

How The World Works

PRESCHOOL ASSEMBLY What a beautiful way to end our unit on celebration, to start a new unit on growth, and to connect it to our unit on imagination. As we begin our new unit on how the world works, the preschool students went around the school premises to list down living things that they saw around them.  As their curiosity kicked in they got so excited and started thinking exactly what living things are.  At first, some characteristics they mentioned about living things were: move  eat drink grow drive cars talk take a bath more But what really is the difference between living and non-living things?  Back in the classroom, we revisited their list and narrowed down the characteristics of living things into these important traits: they eat and drink (food and water) they grow or change they reproduce (make new living things) They agreed that even if something is moving (like robots or cars) it doesn't mean that they are living things. Trees do not move but they eat, ...

Our Country

Know your country. Appreciate your culture.  It is important to know your country's culture to also understand who you are.  As young researchers, the preschoolers looked for information and facts about their country.  They looked at the flag and what it signifies, the population, the capital, food, and popular places. This activity helps them develop cultural awareness which is important as they begin to understand that they came from different backgrounds. Learning about their differences creates a sense of appreciation and respect with people different from them.  "We are better at football!" "Our food is better!" But, it is not a competition of which country is better in football, bigger in size, or which hair color looks better.  It is knowing that they are all here together to celebrate everyone's similarities and differences.    As they become knowledgeable about the bigger picture of their own culture, they also learn to relate better to one an...
