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!

ENERGY IN PRESCHOOL

  FOOD CHAIN An order in which living things depend on each other for food. We have identified food as one of the things living things need to live.  This is the same for both plants and animals. However, we are not as lucky as the plants - they can make their own food!  The sun helps them make food through the process called ' photosynthesis'.   And because of this special power, plants are called producers. They start the food chain and transfer energy to the consumers. We have learned about the different animal groups and the preschool used their knowledge to create their food chain.    They chose one animal and using their knowledge about animals, they showed how animal get their food.  Next week, we will continue with our inquiry answering the question: How do animals go through a process of change?

100th Day

  100th Day of School Why do we celebrate The 100th Day of School?  As the Enrollment Party at the beginning of the school year, 100th day of school is considered a big celebration and has been a tradition in Preschool.  This marks a great milestone in the children's school life.  It means that the students are halfway through the year! It is a celebration wherein they can highlight their progress and show how much they have learned through the year.   For Numeracy, they showed their skills in:  skip counting identifying numbers 1 -100 counting on to 100 pattern blocks For Literacy, they made a short story.   We also made our 100 Days Smarter hat.  We did not forget the movement part wherein we did, 10 different kinds of exercises   10 times each.  Can you guess the total?  Then the fun part of filling in the 100 chart with 100 collections they brought to school! Tamaki's 100 beans. Eisuke's 100 collections of gems, pencil...

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...
