a) Rescue the tadpoles!
This morning, we saw some tadpoles outide the fish pond. Hmmm….how could they got out? Anyway, they could not survive without water. Thus, Teacher yap and myself rescued them and put them into the pond. The kids enjoyed looking at the little tadpoles in our hands. Anyway, it’s Teachers’ Day. Some kids brought us some tidbits, cakes and also cute hand-made cards. I would like to ay thank you to all the parents for their effort. Thank you!
b) Individual Assessment
The kids drank their water after hide-and-seek. JH was early today and he got to play with his friends. How lovely! Some chose to play, some chose to colour. ZY, SYu, SY, SJ, YW and LX chose colouring. Meanwhile, I called some kids for individual assessment. LX and XR love writing although they needed more guidance. The attitude is more important! Today’s assessed kids were YW, ZY, LX, XR and JH.
c) Song: Ants Go Marching
I introduced a new song called, “Ants Go Marching”. First, I drew some ants and they thought only cockroaches has got antennas. The antennas would lead them to seach for food and sense their friends. Thus, the ants always marched in a line. They enjoyed the song and its actions. We formed a line of long ants and sang happily.
“The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah,
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah,
The ants go marching one by one,
The little one stops to suck his thumb,
And they all go marching down to the ground,
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah,
The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah,
The ants go marching two by two,
The little one stops to tie his shoe,
And they all go marching down to the ground,
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!”
c) Red Bean paos
Next, at tea-break, the kids got to eat WY’s home-made “red-bean” paos. They loved them and of course, WY was so excited at distributing them to his friends. M bought extra “Nasi Lemak” for YZ and EG. Those are their favourite food. SYu has improved at sweeping.
d) Revision
Next, we did revision on some Bahasa Malaysia’s vocabulary. First we sang “Gelang Si Paku Gelang” and “Si Anak Kambing”. Then, we focused on the 12 Chinese Zodiac Animals’ Signs. They included:
“tikus, lembu, harimau, arnab, naga, ular, kuda, kambing, monyet, ayam, anjing, khinzir”. I didn’ttell them it was about the Chinese New Year but theywere able to guess correctly. They enjoyed the lesson as they drew the pictures on the whiteboard. I gave them a worksheet to do as homework.
e) Vote for a theme!
Then, we talked about the new thematic for next week. They listed 9 different themes. They were: Space, Fruits and vegetables, transportations, dinosaurs, sports car, flowers, rabbits, shopping and jobs. Then we voted. The highest vote went to “Space” with “Dinosaurs” short by one vote. Thus, the kids looked excited as they are going to fly on a rocket in the wide big space; counting the stars and saying hello to the other planets. Before calling off, I awarded stickers to SYu, YZ and J who managed to collect 30 stars throughout the lessons.
