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...

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...
