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!

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...
