Alphabet Writing

20/11/2008 (Thursday)

a) Game
* After Corner Playing, the kids played a game. It’s called “The Magic Stick”. There were 2 groups of kids. Each at the side of a river. They dropped their Magic Stick into the river and had to find it. However, there is a very hungry Crocodile King. They had to “jump into the river” to find and quickly “jump out of the river” when the crocodile comes.
* Objective: i) Learn to listen, ii) Learn to observe, iii) Learn to work together.

b) Story book: The Pesky Fly
Thanks to Wen Yue’s mother for this book.
It is about how a fly journeyed from food to drinks to animals and to the mat.
The house owner “shoo”ed the fly! Finally, all “shoo”ed the fly!
Vocabulary: fly, shoo, cat, dog, milk, bread.

c) Writing: ABC
The kids took turns to write the capital letters individually.
They sang the song. Later, they took a piece of paper each to write the Capital letters. They learnt that there are 26 letters in the Alphabet family.
They could do this independently. Jin Shan, Jun Hong and Jin Nan needed some guidance. Xin Ru and Wen Yue showed good improvement!

d) Mathematics
They did 2 pages. One at counting the number of pictures. Another is to match the pictures to the numbers.
