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!

Changes

"Why are all people different?" -Tamaki- I think that this is one of the most difficult question a child can ask. Even I couldn't find the correct or the exact answers to this. However, 'Guess the Baby' experiment shows that we, somehow all look alike at some stage in our lives - when we are babies. We looked at the strip of papers and the names written. We found out that a lot of the guesses where wrong and mixed up. We asked some teachers and students and they had a difficult time guessing the babies. "They all look alike!" was the common response that we heard. But, if we look closely and pay attention, we can see that, the same baby is still there. So today, we have revealed the names of the babies! Look at their photos... THEN and NOW Tamaki "The shape of the face looks the same." Ciel Not one person guessed Ciel. Well, Ciel didn't even recognize his own photo! Koh "He still looks the same." Daisy "Her smile and

ENERGY IN PRESCHOOL

FOOD CHAIN An order in which living things depend on each other for food. We have identified food as one of the things living things need to live. This is the same for both plants and animals. However, we are not as lucky as the plants - they can make their own food! The sun helps them make food through the process called ' photosynthesis'. And because of this special power, plants are called producers. They start the food chain and transfer energy to the consumers. We have learned about the different animal groups and the preschool used their knowledge to create their food chain. They chose one animal and using their knowledge about animals, they showed how animal get their food. Next week, we will continue with our inquiry answering the question: How do animals go through a process of change? SPORTS DAY PHOTOS JAVELIN THROW 500 METER RUN Oh definitely, Preschooolers are full of ENERGY!

DEFINING HISTORY

Personal History "Making your own story" - Perky Preschool - SEE THINK WONDER As a provocation for our new unit on "personal histories allow us to reflect on and celebrate growth and change", we did a ' See Think Wonder' Thinking Routine activity. In groups, the students looked at photos related to the unit and wrote down things that they see, what they thought and wonderings that they may have. This thinking routine was then used as a springboard to unlock our unit vocabulary words such as: personal, history, events, and change. TIMELINE The students also completed a simple timeline that shows the past, present and future. As we inquire further in the unit, they will be able to gain more detailed knowledge about their personal history. NUMERACY / LITERACY This week we also started with our math and reading stations. During the different station activities, each group will get a chance to explore different concepts and activities that will help strengt
