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.

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...
