Where We Are In Place and Time

"Personal histories allow us to reflect on and celebrate growth and change."

This is the Central Idea of the upcoming unit of the preschoolers on the Transdisciplinary Theme, Where We Are in Place and Time. An inquiry about personal histories, journeys, explorations and migrations of people.

In this unit, the Preschoolers will focus on the Lines of Inquiry:

Personal Histories
Important events that lead to change
Personal change from birth to present: self and family

They will look into the the key concepts on perspective, connection and change. As they go through the whole inquiry process, they will develop the leaner profile attributes of being a communicator, reflective and open-minded by thinking and researching.

This unit will be an opportunity for the preschoolers to know their 'roots' or family history. They will gain a deeper understanding of reasons why people migrate, travel or move to different places or country.

A step to developing and cultivating International mindedness of the preschoolers at DSKI!

Here's a sneak peak of the Preschoolers back to work and preparing for their mini-exhibition next week.

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.

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...

Entering the world of imagination

Children use imagination to write poems and create artworks in wonderfully instinctive and unfiltered ways. They are not constrained by thinking or grammar rules and truly believe simple things in life. This kind of imaginative freedom allows them to create words and images that we might not even consider. They use personal experience and reimagine things. They write freely without filter and mix real life with fantasy to create rich, expressive writing. They can use this form of writing to develop self-confidence and connections with themselves and others. In Artwork, they use their creative imagination to create symbolic representation that we, as adults, could never have imagined. Children represent the world how they feel it, not just how they see it. Their artworks become a portal to an entirely new worlds. In this unit on how we express ourselves, preschoolers will be encouraged to use: Open-ended materials (like...
