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!

Working Together

TAKING ACTION The students are keeping in mind the importance of plants to all living things. Plants - being the ONLY one that can make its own food, and Plants - being the ONLY one that gives us the air or oxygen to live. We have to do something to preserve the plants! They started bringing all sorts of seeds to plant at school. To watermelon seeds, onion stalks, flowers, grapes.. They chose a spot where the plants can get sunshine. They dug the soil. Put in the seeds. And watered them. They did everything that the plants need in order to grow. Students will take turns watering the plants daily. Hopefully these tiny seeds will show us some sprouts before the end of the school year in Preschool. HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES For the unit on How we express ourselves, the preschoolers used their imagination to create different art work on the ipad. They chose their own subject and used the different tools on the drawing...

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. They had so much fun presenting in the class, changing their voices creating background sounds and simply telling their stories! We also played the Yes, No, Maybe corners where the students decided if they agreed or disagreed with the questions given to them about ...
