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!

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, ...

Our Country

Know your country. Appreciate your culture.  It is important to know your country's culture to also understand who you are.  As young researchers, the preschoolers looked for information and facts about their country.  They looked at the flag and what it signifies, the population, the capital, food, and popular places. This activity helps them develop cultural awareness which is important as they begin to understand that they came from different backgrounds. Learning about their differences creates a sense of appreciation and respect with people different from them.  "We are better at football!" "Our food is better!" But, it is not a competition of which country is better in football, bigger in size, or which hair color looks better.  It is knowing that they are all here together to celebrate everyone's similarities and differences.    As they become knowledgeable about the bigger picture of their own culture, they also learn to relate better to one an...

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...
