Hi Parents!
What a great first week we have had. Have a look at what we got up-to:
We explored our new classroom and really liked the new toys!
Lucy - "Look, I elephant now"
EQ - "I see you"
Mungkorn - "Look at all this Miss.Myshi"
Namnoon - "We are making tower!"
The kids especially liked the reading corner.
We also learnt how to be 'big boys and girls' by sitting at our tables and helping ourselves to class resources.
Our first topic is 'Ourselves'. So, we learned about our face parts and how we look similar and different to others. By doing this, we learned that we are all unique and we are all special in our own way.
We also covered the topic 'senses' and the kids are very aware of what each sense is and why we have it.
We did a small exercise where the kids partnered up and chatted about their face-parts and what they do. It was a great way to get them talking to each other and learn through pair-work.
We did a drawing activity by looking at our faces in the mirror. Linin loved this! "Miss.Myshi, this is me! and that [pointing at the big board] is me mummy and daddy"
The kids really enjoyed making crazy faces out of clipart and paper plates.
"My face funny!"
RM has been fantastic at following class rules. Look how well they are listening and engaging at circle time.
We made a start on our phonics lessons and RM did really well! We learnt the initial sound 'a' and then practiced letter formation and how to spot letters in a book. Once the kids have learnt a few initial sounds, then they will be able to put them together to read words.
The kids with 'a' in their name practiced writing.
The others took turns in groups to learn letter formation by doing a fun activity in the art corner!
Find the letter 'a' and use the paint brush to go over it. By doing this, they learnt how to write the letter 'a'.
By using cars to go over the tracks, the other group learnt how to form the letter as well.
Some of the groups even wanted to practice more writing on paper. I'm so lucky to have such enthusiastic learners!
Then we played a game of trying to spot the letter 'a' in books!
"Look, it here!"
"I found one too!"
"So many 'a's everywhere!"
Ploen - "Look, Totem, here!"
Well, parents, that's it for this week. But we will be doing a lot more learning over the weeks to come. Goodbye from RM for now!
