Reading Session and Our Crowns.

08/08/2008 (Friday)

a) Reading session
* The kids had their first individual reading class by Teacher Phang. Today’ title was “Look”.
As reinforcement, I also did the book with them yesterday but as a whole.
* The other kids chose their play. Some kids preferred drawing and colouring including ZY, JS, SJ, SYu, LX and ZYg. They had to learn sharing the colour pencils.
* I also checked their homework and continued with the Space Assessment.

b) English Reciting Program:
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.”

* A short story about Bobby who likes doing many things at one time. One cannot play toys and
roller skate at the same time. One also cannot does homework or study halfway as it would give
negative effect to them.

c) Our Crowns
* The kids chose the group they wanted to be in: 1/2/3 or 4. Each group was given a box of colour pencils where they are responsible to take care of.
* They collected their relevant colouring pictures from me. The pictures were the casts they held in their role-play of “Our Stegosaurus Story”.
* SYu and JH had to draw their own pictures as they were “people” casts. YZ drew his own Liopleurodon. Everyone actually had shown improvement in their work. Example: WY, ZJ and LX had put in more effort to finish their colouring. In fact, they were colourful. Some kids came to me with suggestions such as ZY, M, YW and ZYg.

d) Mathematics and Role-Play
* In the afternoon, we practiced our role-play of “Our Stegosaurus Story”.
* Then, we did our mathematics on simple “addition”.
