Night of the Student Led Conference

Preschoolers practice for their upcoming Student Led Conference (SLC) by engaging in mock sessions with peers and teachers. These practices help the students build confidence as they learn to talk about their artwork, classroom routines, and personal growth.

Using the checklist prompted by visuals like portfolios and photo displays, preschoolers explain their learning journey in simple, meaningful ways. Practicing ahead of the actual conference allows them to feel prepared and proud to share with their families.

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 classroom routines, and beamed with pride.

Each child’s experience—whether smooth or challenging—is a valuable milestone in their learning journey. These moments build resilience, self-awareness, and communication skills.

It's important to honor all reactions, as they reflect growth. Celebrating every child’s effort helps them feel valued and encourages continued confidence in their learning path.

As they grow and mature over the summer, I am confident that this experience—where they actively took the lead—will become a strong foundation for future responsibilities and continued success in learning.

Taking ownership of their progress, sharing their stories, and engaging with their parents in a meaningful way is no small feat for a preschooler. This Student Led Conference marks more than just a school event; it is a rite of passage.

They will carry this memory with pride—as the night they began their journey toward becoming fully-fledged primary students at DSKI, ready to embrace the next chapter with confidence.

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 ...

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! 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.
