                            MY FIVE SENSES

CIRCLE TIME: "Today's circle time is all about practicing the art of greetings! Greetings are more than just words; they're a way to show kindness and respect to others.

 In our pairs, we'll take turns being the greeter and the receiver, using different scenarios to guide us. Remember, a good greeting includes a smile, eye contact, and a friendly tone. Whether you're meeting a friend, greeting a teacher, or saying hello to someone new, think about how you can make them feel welcomed and valued. Each pair will get to role-play their scenario, and we'll give constructive feedback to help everyone improve. Let's focus on making our greetings clear, warm, and genuine. Afterward, we'll discuss what we've learned and how we can apply these skills in our daily interactions. Are you ready to show off your greeting skills? Let's begin and make each greeting count!"

SCIENCE TIME: Welcome, curious minds! Today, let's embark on an exciting journey to explore our five incredible senses.

 Our eyes are like magic windows that help us see the world around us—bright colors of flowers, shapes of toys, and the faces of our friends and family. Moving on to our ears, they let us hear the chirping of birds, the music we love, and the gentle whispers of stories at bedtime. When we touch things with our skin, we can feel if they are smooth like a shiny marble or rough like sandpaper. Taste is another amazing sense; it allows us to enjoy the flavors of sweet fruits, salty snacks, and yummy meals like pizza and ice cream. Our nose helps us smell the scent of fresh rain, fragrant flowers in a garden, and the delicious aroma of baking cookies or bread.

Each sense is like a special superpower that helps us learn about the world and enjoy our experiences every day. Imagine if we didn't have these senses—how different our world would be! So let's remember to use our eyes, ears, skin, tongue, and nose to explore, learn, and have fun discovering new things. Whether we're playing outside, eating our favorite foods, or listening to stories, our senses are always there to guide us and make life more wonderful. Let's cherish and appreciate our amazing senses, because they help us understand and appreciate the beauty and diversity of our world!"

ENGLISH TIME: "Today, we're diving into the letter 'S' with an exciting activity using flashcards! Each flashcard will show a picture and a word that starts with different letters of the alphabet.

 As we go through them, let's listen closely for words that begin with the sound 'S'. When you hear one, raise your hand and share it with us! For example, if you see a picture of a 'sun', remember to say 'sun' because it starts with 'S'. After we find words starting with 'S', we'll also practice writing the letter 'S' ourselves. It's like a curvy snake—first, we'll trace it in the air with our fingers and then try writing it on our own. Let's have fun exploring sounds, words, and letters together!" This activity encourages active participation and reinforces the connection between the sound 'S', words that start with it, and the formation of the letter 'S'. It engages children in auditory recognition, vocabulary building, and fine motor skill practice.

MATH TIME: "Today, we're going to explore some fundamental 2-D shapes: the circle, square, and triangle. A circle is perfectly round, like a wheel or a clock face. It has no corners or edges, just a smooth, curved outline. Next, we have the square, which has four equal sides and four right angles. It looks like the shape of a window or a piece of paper. Each corner of a square is exactly the same. Then there's the triangle, which has three sides and three corners. It can look like a slice of pizza or a roof on a house. Each side of a triangle can be different lengths or all the same.

For our activity today, I'll show you different pictures or objects that have these shapes. Let's work together to name each shape we see. When we find a circle, square, or triangle, we'll count how many of each shape are there. For example, we might see a clock with a circle face, a picture frame that's a square, or a road sign shaped like a triangle. Let's use our detective eyes to spot these shapes in the world around us and have fun learning about circles, squares, and triangles!" In math time detailed yet accessible explanation of each shape, suitable for young learners. The activity encourages active participation, visual recognition, and counting skills, making learning about shapes engaging and interactive.

ART TIME: Today, we have an exciting activity planned where we will practice pouring water from one container to another and filling glasses.

 We'll begin by gathering around a table where there's a jug filled with water and several empty glasses. Each of you will take turns carefully pouring water from the jug into the glasses. Remember, it's important to pour slowly and steadily to avoid splashing or spilling. As you pour, observe how the water level rises in the glass and how much each glass can hold. This activity helps us develop coordination and control over our movements, which are skills we use every day when pouring drinks or helping in the kitchen.Pay attention to how the water feels and sounds as it flows from the jug into the glass. Notice the different sizes and shapes of the glasses and how that affects how much water they can hold. After pouring, we'll discuss together how the process felt and what we learned about pouring water. This activity also teaches us about measurements and quantities in a hands-on way.Let's also talk about the importance of being careful and respectful of our materials, ensuring that we clean up any spills promptly. Remember to take turns and encourage each other as we practice this fun and practical skill. Are we ready to pour and fill our glasses with water? Let's begin, and enjoy this learning experience together!"
