100th Day in Preschool

We celebrated our 100th day in preschool!

The day to reflect and celebrate their success.

It is also the day to motivate and challenge themselves for future learning

One hundred handprints - one hundred high fives!

This week the preschoolers found out a lot of information from our moms,

Madeline and Niki!

We learned about Scotland its beautiful landscapes and vibrant culture.

and we all shouted FREEDOM!

Then found time to complete our research paper and we wrote down information about Scotland.

Another beautiful country we learned a lot about was New Zealand.

After we watched this video, we tried to do our best PUKANA!

Next week we will continue finding out more about our own countries and put them all together to share to our DSKI families.

We are looking forward to our Culture Week Celebration in March!

Children represent the world how they feel it, not just how they see it. Their artworks become a portal to an entirely new worlds. In this unit on how we express ourselves, preschoolers will be encouraged to use: Open-ended materials (like...
