Recording: Water Crystal.

a) Quotes.
* We recited a new quote.
" Have a good brain, Think good thoughts, Speak good words, Act good deeds, We shall be beautiful and happy".

b) Sign Language Song: Heal The World
* This is such a popular song that some kids sang along the chorus when I introduced to them.
However they were puzzled as it was sung by a group of choir kids rather than Michael Jackson.
Later, I told them that the late singer had already passed away last year. Foo Soon said he died being murdered which was still a mystery because the doctor could have given him too much medicine drugs for his health. He was famous because this song was very meaningful. It was for everyone despite races; Chinese, indians, Muslims, Africans, Koreans, Japaese, Arabians and etc.
* More beautifully, the choir kids sang with beautiful sign language skill.
* We are not into the community topic yet but I thought the kids need sometime to familarize with the song.
* We practised the Chorus first and they just loved it. With interpretation of the lyrics, it gets even more meaningful.
* So, whose the doctor? There was a pause until Zheng Yuan answered "people". True; we can make a difference by loving the Earth just as in the "water crystal" theory.
CHORUS:
Heal The World,
Make it a better place,
For you and for me,
And the entire human race,
There are people dying,
If you care enough,
For the living,
Make a better place,
For you and for me.

c) New responsibilities.
* The kids took their Heart Book and pasted stickers into them. They took turns to pick a cardboard paper randomly that indicate their duties.
* These are the kids who have seriously and consistently doing their duties for the past 4 weeks: Yu Wen, Yun Xin, Xing Tong, Devin, Wei Jeen, Jun Yu, Zheng Yuan. They were praised!

d) Recording: Dr. Emoto's Water Crystal.
*We recalled briefly of the experiment. Then I sketched a picture on the board for the kids to understand better.
* First: 3 containers of water with different labels. A: I Love You, B: I Hate You, C: Nothing.
* Second: A microscope and its drop of water from the three containers.
* Third: Result: Pictures of "I Love You" Water Crystal and "I Hate You" water Crystal.
* Kids had to label the important parts of the picture.
