DSKI Community

 


"It takes a whole village to raise a child."

Our DSKI Community

After learning that they did not know most of the people in the school community, the Preschoolers took the time to go around the campus to get to know these people. 

They brought with them a very important TOOL to FIND OUT more about the roles and responsibilities of the people in the DSKI Community - QUESTIONS. 

 



They asked the TEACHERS.
"Why are you a teacher?"
"What makes you important in the school?"

They asked the PRINCIPAL.
"Why do you clean the whole school?"
"Do you like your job and why?"
"Why do you work or help the school?"



They asked the OFFICE people.
"What is your work in the office?" 

 


They asked the STUDENTS.
"What are the responsibilities of students?"


They asked the PARENTS.
"How do you help the school?"


Then we talked about the responses in class. They came up with a group of important people that make up the DSKI community.

Principal 
Office People
Support People
Parents
Teachers
Students

What is it like? 
How does it work?

FORM
They  described what the school looks like.
They named many parts of the school such as: the playground, garden, flags, doors, stairs, roof, the building etc. 

They then connected the parts to its purpose, or...

FUNCTION
They answered the question:
What are the uses of the different parts of the school?

The students gained an understanding of the different roles and responsibilities of the members of the school community. Next week they will continue their inquiry on 'how these members work together to make the school run smoothly.'

INFORMATION COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY (ICT)
The preschoolers worked with a partner to explore the different features in SEESAW. Together they answered activities in Math using blocks and manipulative.

 


 

 



They also practiced RESPONSIBILITY when borrowing and returning laptops in the cart.

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.

We also played the Yes, No, Maybe corners where the students decided if they agreed or disagreed with the questions given to them about ...
