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.

Practicing ahead of the actual conference allows them to feel prepared and proud to share with their families.

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...

A Day with Nature

From the moment we arrived at Rokkosan Pasteur, excitement was in the air. The weather was perfect, the animals were curious, and of course the preschoolers couldn’t wait to explore! The highlight of the day? Meeting the kids —not the classmates, but the adorable baby goats! The students were able to feed, pet, and even cuddle the goats, horses, sheep . They were gentle and playful. Some preschoolers were a bit hesitant at first, but by the end of the visit, everyone was laughing and eagerly reaching out to connect with the animals. But this trip was about more than just the fun experience. The goal is to extend their learning about animal care, natural habitat, and the effect of human to other iving things. These experiences and observing how animals interact in a natural environment were learning in its most genuine form—engaging, memorable, and will have a long-lasting impact on their lives. As the day came to an end, tired but happy p...
