Diversity at DSKI

Book and Culture Week

The DSKI community has proven that we are all united as we celebrate this wonderful week of the Book and Culture Week.

The PTA organized a cooking session with Ayumi. All the students from Preschool to Grade 6 worked together in peeling, chopping, and slicing the vegetables.

The hot soup gave warmth to our bodies and also to the hearts of the students and teachers at DSKI. Because it was a combined effort of all the teachers, students and the parents.

As they ate the hot miso soup, they gained an understanding of the importance of eating healthy in the Japanese culture.

Different Games

The parents have also prepared a space for the students to experience different games and toys from Japan and Korea.

In China, they go out on a parade with a lantern to celebrate the first full moon of the year.

Sandi and Yan came to the class to teach the preschoolers how to make a rabbit lantern.

Hyunjeong and Jae Hee also joined the preschool class and taught us how to make a Korean 'hambok' origami.

Drop Everything and Read (DEAR)

We also enjoyed the diverse books set-up in the library! It was such a beautiful picture to see the students digging in to reading as they turned the pages of the books in the library.

Food Cart

The food cart from the Sawada family was one of the highlights of the Book and Culture Week celebration!

The whole DSKI community enjoyed the delicious onigiri shared to us.

One happy Rino here!

What an eventful week for DSKI!

We all happily walked around Rokko Island proud of who we are and where we are from. Bringing with us our different countries, our cultures as DSKI's pride!

Because we all are one family at DSKI!

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...

Summer

Have an amazing summer break to all!

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...
