                                    MY FIVE SENSES

MATH TIME: In the bright and cheerful classroom, the young students gathered around their colorful math stations, ready for a fun session on numbers. Today’s focus was on the numbers from 6 to 10, and the excitement was palpable. 

First, the teacher displayed flashcards with the numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, guiding the children to say each number out loud. They practiced counting together, starting from 6 and moving up to 10, their voices rising in joyful unison. Next, the students received worksheets where they carefully practiced writing each number, forming them with big, neat strokes. The teacher then introduced the 10-frame cards, explaining how these grids could help them visualize and understand numbers better. Each student was given a 10-frame card and a set of counters. For the number 6, they placed 6 counters in the 10-frame, leaving 4 boxes empty. For 7, they filled 7 boxes, leaving just 3 empty, and so on. The students giggled as they filled the frames, seeing the numbers come to life with each counter placed. They compared their filled frames and noticed how the number of counters matched the number they had written. In a delightful twist, the teacher set up a matching game where students paired number flashcards with their correctly filled 10-frames. The classroom buzzed with enthusiasm as students drew their own 10-frames and counted out their counters, reinforcing their understanding. By the end of the activity, each child felt confident in recognizing, counting, writing, and representing the numbers from 6 to 10, ready to tackle new math adventures with smiles and enthusiasm.

ENGLISH TIME: The classroom buzzed with excitement as the "You and Me" game began, transforming the usual english time into a lively, interactive experience. The students eagerly split into two teams, with one group taking on the role of “Teachers” and the other as “Students.” The game kicked off with the first letter, Dd. 

The Teachers enthusiastically said “Dog,” and the Students quickly responded with “Duck,” their faces lighting up with delight. The rapid exchange of words made the activity thrilling, as each team scrambled to think of new words before the timer buzzed. As the game progressed, the letters changed from Dd to Gg, and then to Oo, each bringing its own set of challenges and surprises. The Students surprised everyone with creative words like “Giraffe” and “Octopus,” while the Teachers countered with “Grapes” and “Owl.” Laughter and cheers filled the room as the teams raced to come up with unique words. The sense of friendly competition kept everyone engaged, and the visual aids on the whiteboard helped track their words and points. The game’s fast pace and the chance to use a wide range of vocabulary made learning feel like a fun challenge rather than a task. By the end of the session, every student felt energized and proud, having not only reinforced their letter sounds but also enjoyed a memorable and dynamic learning experience. The game proved to be a fantastic way to combine education with excitement, making the lesson one that the students would eagerly recall and look forward to repeating.

STORY TIME: Mira loved drawing pictures, and today she was excited to create a colorful masterpiece. As she sat at her desk, Mira picked up a crayon with her hand and held it carefully with her fingers. She started by drawing a big sun, using her arm to move the crayon across the paper in smooth, sweeping motions. 

Mira concentrated hard, squinting her eyes to see the details and make sure the lines were just right. When she needed to reach for another color, she extended her arm and grabbed a new crayon from the box with her hand. As she colored in her drawing, Mira used her wrist to guide the crayon, her elbow bending slightly as she worked. She occasionally glanced at her picture with her eyes to see how it looked, and she smiled with her mouth when she was happy with the colors. When her drawing was finished, Mira carefully placed the crayons back in the box, using her fingers to pick them up one by one. Finally, she admired her artwork with her eyes, feeling proud of how her hand and arm had created something beautiful.
