Count and Read

Since the children were doing counting these few days, with this opportunity, I brought in the words of numbers to teach them. We had it as an activity. I have some small flash cards from “one to ten”.

I divided the children into 3 in a group. There were 7 groups altogether. Then each group member will pick a card without looking at the words of numbers. By reading the cards, they needed to pick the numbers of toys accordingly. This is to familiarize the children with the names of the numbers instead of just knowing how to count it. We had this for 3 rounds. The children were enjoying the activity. 

I had printed out a picture of a big pumpkin for the children to colour. I guided the children to make sentences by looking at the pumpkin picture.

Derek: The pumpkin is tasty.

Harraz: The pumpkin is sweet.

Kern Ee: The pumpkin is very hard.

Jing Heng / Chloe: This is an orange pumpkin.

Phey Zheng: Pumpkin is so big.

Kwan Ming: The pumpkin has a lot of seeds.

We discussed about which sentences to use for our next activity. Finally, the children agreed with the following sentences:

1)      This is a pumpkin.

2)      The pumpkin is sweet.

3)      The pumpkin has a lot of seeds.

I gave the pumpkin picture for the children to colour. I shall prepare the sentences for the children to carry out the sentence arrangement activity next week.
