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!

PRESCHOOLERS and their FAMILIES

  The FAMILY TREE helps the Preschoolers understand the relationship of each members of their family. This representation helps them understand the roles of the mother, father, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, and cousins play in their life history.  The Preschoolers continued to inquire about the personal histories of their family. They worked on their own Family Tree and have started SORTING OUT information that they have gathered from the interview with their parents, discussions and their own knowledge about the members of their family.          They have also made a visual representation of who lives in our home.  Before the Golden week, they did a series mapping exercise.  The place where they have lived or where they have travelled. The place where mom and dad are from The place where both their grandparents are from. The Preschoolers gained basic information about what a map is for, importance of a m...

Field Trip

FIELD TRIP Children who experience a holistic development during their younger school years grow up to become global citizens.  Taking the students out of the classroom  is important because it provides a balance between indoor and outdoor activities. It prepares them for what it is like in the real world.  As part of our unit on How The World Works which focuses on the science of living things, the preschoolers went out on a field trip to Rokkosan Pasture. In here, the students were immersed and had access to a different environment,  the farm habitat together with the animals who live there.  They experienced interactive learning by feeding and getting up close with these friendly and hungry goats. They observed how the animals shared space and played inside their homes. They were able to make connections on how they, as preschoolers socially interact with one another inside the classroom.   The parents who joined the trip also became the teachers a...
