Student Led Conferences (SLC) and Father‘s Day

This week the Pre–Kindergarten children concentrated on the subject of „Family“ , no wonder with both, the SLC and Father‘s Day coming up.

Every day the children revisited the four stations which they would present to their families showcasing their learning journey throughout the kindergarten year.

On Tuesday we had the wonderful opportunity to witness the final rehearsal of the Grand Concert by grades 3 to 6 and the school choir.

Organized by Ms.Azusa and their homeroom teachers, the UP students rendered beautiful performances singing and playing a variety of instruments. The Pre–Kindergarten children were so mesmerized that they sat through the whole hour the concert lasted and one of our little boys was closely watching his brother on stage. With many other siblings attending, this truly was a family affair of the DSKI community.

Bravo, everyone, we really enjoyed ourselves! 

Two other Pre–Kindergarten children helped their siblings from Pre–School with their SLC Displays and they did an amazing job. We also loved the informational displays of Pre–school and the other classes as well as the stunning art in the hallway. What a fantastic achievement. 

For Father‘s Day, the Pre–Kindergarten children were on a secret mission to make a very special present. They chose their favourite bottle caps from a selection to create a flower like coaster ( with the help of Ms.Anita and gluesticks) which their dads could use to put their cool drink on this summer. What a thoughtful and colourful present ! The children are sure you will love it ! 

Then on Wednesday and Thursday morning, it was time for the SLC! 

Whether it was dressing the dolls, cooking a nice meal, matching pictures to shapes, showing how to make a stunning Kugelbild ( marble painting) or explaining about our visit to the museum and the collages with the fashionable clothes – the Pre–Kindergarten children‘s inquisitiveness, brightness and knowledge shone through all these sessions with their parents and grandparents! It was a joy to watch the children’s enthusiasm and confidence! 

What an excellent job, Pre– Kindergarten children – you can be very proud of yourselves ! 

Thank you very much to all the families who have joined us for the SLC, it was heartwarming to see the interaction between you and your child ! 

Due to popular demand the children also made Playdough families again and they are starting to be able to tell stories about what they are creating. „This is a head and I can make papa. This is a baby and the baby is small. This is a snake and I like snakes…“

The children have also made great progress in their language development as you will be able to read in their reports ! And next school year as I am the EY German teacher I will also have the joy of teaching the children more German ! 

Wishing you a joyful weekend and a very happy Father‘s Day ! The presents will be given on Monday ! 👍🤗

Kind regards, mit herzlichen Grüßen,
