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!

ENERGY IN PRESCHOOL

  FOOD CHAIN An order in which living things depend on each other for food. We have identified food as one of the things living things need to live.  This is the same for both plants and animals. However, we are not as lucky as the plants - they can make their own food!  The sun helps them make food through the process called ' photosynthesis'.   And because of this special power, plants are called producers. They start the food chain and transfer energy to the consumers. We have learned about the different animal groups and the preschool used their knowledge to create their food chain.    They chose one animal and using their knowledge about animals, they showed how animal get their food.  Next week, we will continue with our inquiry answering the question: How do animals go through a process of change?

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!   They started bringing all sorts of seeds to plant at school.  To watermelon seeds, onion stalks, flowers, grapes..  They chose a spot where the plants can get sunshine.  They dug the soil. Put in the seeds. And watered them. They did everything that the plants need in order to grow.    Students will take turns watering the plants daily.  Hopefully these tiny seeds will show us some sprouts before the end of the school year in Preschool.    HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES For the unit on How we express ourselves, the preschoolers used their imagination to create different art work on the ipad.  They chose their own  subject and used the different tools on the drawing...

" "Why do kids have to go to school? " " Why do paople make books? " " As good ...
