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.

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