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!

Working Together

TAKING ACTION The students are keeping in mind the importance of plants to all living things. Plants - being the ONLY one that can make its own food, and Plants - being the ONLY one that gives us the air or oxygen to live. We have to do something to preserve the plants!

Our Family

Community is a place where people live together. Our Family Our School Our Community The preschoolers identified themselves as an important member or these groups. Roles are parts that everyone play. We have the Superheroes like Batman, Spiderman and other characters in movies. But what are the things that they do? Those are their responsibilities. Just like us, we all have our responsibilities. The Family Family is the smallest group in a community. Some families are big. Some families are small. But they live together in the same house and do things together and take care of each other. Using their puppets the preschoolers imagined and created a story of things that they did as a family. They had so much fun presenting in the class, changing their voices creating background sounds and simply telling their stories! We also played the Yes, No, Maybe corners where the students decided if they agreed or disagreed with the questions given to them about ...
