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.

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...

Meet the Animals

Students have been actively engaged in preparing for our upcoming Animal Exhibit, showcasing their learning through research, creativity, and collaboration. Each student selected an animal of interest, explored its habitat, diet, and unique adaptations, and created a visual display to share their findings. This week the preschoolers worked in teams to group animals according to their natural habitats—such as grassland, fresh water, polar region, ocean, and forest.  Together, they collaborated to research the features and designed a small-scale habitat that reflect the unique features of each ecosystem. This group project fostered teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity as students and teachers combined their knowledge and ideas to create cohesive, informative, and visually engaging designs.  The final displays beautifully showcase both the diversity of animal life and the power of collaboration. As part of the preparation, preschoolers will practice presentation skills and t...
