School

What is a school community? 

It is the place where we learn many things about the world around us and make friends. 

 

But, do we know the people in the DSKI school community? 

How can we work together if we don't even know who they are, what they do, or where to find them if we need help? 

 

The preschoolers looked at photos of some important members of the school community. They realized that did not know a lot of these people. They see them at school but do not know their names and what they do. 

 

So we looked around the school to see the different people in our school community. We went to the classrooms, hallways, office and the yard to ensure that we will not miss anybody. 

 

They grouped themselves and decided the person that they would like to interview. 

With their groups, they practiced how to become good communicators by asking questions and patiently waiting for responses. 

They started their interview and gathered information about these people. 

As part of the unit on roles and responsibilities, the preschoolers collaborated with the Grade 5/6 through the Reading Buddy and the whole Lower Primary students through the mentoring program. 

This experience also helped the inquiry of the preschoolers about the different responsibilities of students. 

Next week we will delve into the roles and responsibilities of the different community helpers.
