Our Crowns

11/08/2008 (Monday)

a) Songs
* We sang “Good Morning To You”, “A Birthday Song” for Xin Ru and also “Goodbye Song”.
* We did a recap on English Reciting Program: “Work While You Work”.
Good Morning To You,
Good Morning To You,
Good Morning To Everyone,
Good Morning To You,

Ding Dong Bell,
Ding Dong Bell,
We are going home,
Goodbye teachers, goodbye friends,
See you tomorrow.

Work While You Work.
“ Work while you work,
Play while you play;
One thing each time,
That is the way.
All that you do,
Do with your might;
Things done by halves
Are not done right.”

b) Our Crowns
* The kids chose their laminated picture for the “Stegosaurus” Role-Play. They cut the pictures and then pasted to the colour paper.
* Next, they looked for the correct label and pasted to their crowns. Thus, they elarnt to recognize words.
* Then, I measured around their head and stapled it. They were happy to wear it around as that is
their identity.

c) XR’s birthday
* Everyone sang a birthday song of 3 languages for XR. They were very happy especially seeing the chocolate cake and the party packs.
* We ate together, shared among ourselves and also distributed for the other teachers.

d) Role-Play Practice
* The kids learn the cue of “Position” and also “Attention”.
* YP and SYu introduced themselves and about the title of our Role-Play.
* Then, each kid came forward to introduce themselves and about their role-play character.
* Then, they started acting with little prompting from me. They were more vocal and confident.
Some kids like LX, ZJ and YZ needed some prompting to behave.
