A trip to the moon


Science Technology Engineering Maths
DSKI School on the Moon

The Preschoolers traveled to the moon today. 
With the help of the astronauts, the space ship was launched.
We got lost in time, but we patiently waited.


Finally, we landed on the moon. 


Being taken with us is our version of the Bio Regenerative Life Support System to create a living environment for the plants and animals. 

 

We made sure that the students and teachers who will be on the moon will survive for months with enough supply of nourishment. 


 

We also brought with us supplies of protein bars, fruits, cookies, candies, nuts, and food in cans. 


In order to ensure that we will be able to provide enough food and have the right amount of production, we did a survey back on earth. 


The students found out about the following information:
  • Total number of people going to the moon
  • People who have allergies
  • Food preferences
  • Amount of water consumed in a day


The space ship was full but it made it to the moon!


Once we landed, we wasted no time and started to work on our greenhouse.


We put soil in the pots,


Added the seeds.


Watered the plants.


Luckily, it was a sunny day on the moon!

 

We took the rover and went out for a walk outside the moon for a while. 


 

We put on our space suits and explored outside the DSKI Lunar School. 
We tried to look for signs of life out there!

 

Hopefully, we will be able to discover more as we now started living on the moon.

 

For now, we will enjoy our new school and watch the stars and comets around us!

Growth

This week we continue inquiring about our personal histories.  How much have we changed from when we were born to present. We posted the baby photos of all the preschoolers side by side with their current photos.  The students and teachers at school will guess, using the photos and looking for similarities who the preschoolers are.  We will then use these experiment to find out more about the concept of 'change' and 'development' in our unit.  We have also started collecting the pot flower that show the different milestones we have accomplished growing up.  They will talk about their personal stories to all the students in class.  We identified land and water forms and they realized that the water area is so much bigger than the land area!  As part of their history, we also have looked at the map and located the country they were born. From this, we looked at the bigger land area which is the continents that make up the land forms.  We identified ...

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, ...
