Understanding Similarities and Differences

Group culture has a large impact on the behavior, attitudes, and happiness of every member of a group.

People who fit into the culture often feel right, belongingness and being included.

In connection to Numeracy, the preschoolers sat together and worked with a partner analyzing and interpreting the data.

They looked at the responses from the suvey and made a tally marks to get the overall responses of the Lower and Upper Primary students.

What is the purpose of this survey?

They will be able to identify the different cultures of the students at DSKI.

They will be able to identify the celebration that most of the DSKI students celebrate.

The different nationalities of the students at DSKI.

Next week, we will summarize all the information we have gathered and will move to creating a chart to represent the data collection through a pictograph and a bar graph.

The students also delved deeper into their sense of self.

Through the game 'Four corners" (Yes. No. Maybe. I don't know.) they were given situations and they moved to the corner of their response.

Some of the statements were:

Family is important for me.
Hanami should be celebrated.
Food is not important during celebrations.
We should always have cakes, balloons and gifts on birthdays.
People with long hair is better looking than short hair.
Being honest is not always important
We should allow children to work and earn money to help the family.
Education is not important
We should go on vacation to new places.
We should avoid and not talk to strangers.

They were encouraged to think deeply and share their reasons by talking to the people in their group and shared also share their resaons to the rest of the students. They can agree or disagree with each other but the end point is to consider and respect their similarities and differences as a person.

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...

A Day with Nature

From the moment we arrived at Rokkosan Pasteur, excitement was in the air. The weather was perfect, the animals were curious, and of course the preschoolers couldn’t wait to explore! The highlight of the day? Meeting the kids —not the classmates, but the adorable baby goats! The students were able to feed, pet, and even cuddle the goats, horses, sheep . They were gentle and playful. Some preschoolers were a bit hesitant at first, but by the end of the visit, everyone was laughing and eagerly reaching out to connect with the animals. But this trip was about more than just the fun experience. The goal is to extend their learning about animal care, natural habitat, and the effect of human to other iving things. These experiences and observing how animals interact in a natural environment were learning in its most genuine form—engaging, memorable, and will have a long-lasting impact on their lives. As the day came to an end, tired but happy p...
