Importance of communication

Communicators express their ideas in various ways.

Through drawing, writing and speaking.

One of the ATL skills we are working on, is to enhance their communication skill.

We did different activities within the unit to explore ways on how preschoolers can develop communicating with others.

They talked and encouraged other students to participate in the survey "Guess the Baby".

They worked with teams and collaborated with projects that need everyone's participation.

Decision making, compromising and dealing with conflicts are practices they are working on to ensure that they will successfully achieve their goal in the group.

These activities and experiences are all part of the inquiry process that will guide them to understand and celebrate growth and change!

As we are also preparing for the upcoming festivities in December, the preschoolers created their Christmas Tree decoration.

A snowman with their photo! They proudly hang this on the tree which DSKI will light up on the 25th of November!

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...
