Sorting And Classifying Jumbo Pegs Preschool Learning Foundation Strand

Outdoor play is a great tool to engage a child and incorporate all seven areas of learning. Well thought out activities can excite, challenge and memorize children, teaching them new skills or experience new ideas all through play. For example, building a ball run is a simple activity in itself. However children often work as a team, sharing ideas and overcoming problems in the process. Number could be incorporated if the children are asked to build the ball run from a pre-drawn instruction

I try to make the activity as fun as possible in a way that evolves the teachers plan but also suits my teaching style and methods. I usually try to turn all activates whether it be numeracy, literacy or science into a group activity so each child

Another activity that I took part in was bubble painting. This was where I put paint in a tray and added water. Once this was mixed properly I got the children to use a straw and blow through it to make bubbles. Once the bubbles were there a piece of paper was placed over them to create a bubble effect picture. There were two different trays of which one was purple and the other one was orange. This is so that they were able to make their own choice on what colour they wanted to use.

The reading of the life of Sally Ride appeared as a very engaging activity to me. While reading, Ms. House would allow simple questions and comments, but knew when to stop them and move on. Her students also seemed to know that when she moved on it was time to be quiet and listen. After reading, the students turned to a partner and discussed the story. This was a great way

The participation of children: Child will know where to hang coat , put belongings and were to go to begin the day.

You want to make sure you never do a activity too advanced or not advanced enough with your students. An example of a cooperative learning activity in an elementary setting could be the “Scooter Scramble”. The scooter scramble is best used with grades K-2. In the scooter scramble you will need one scooter per student, four different colored pinnies, four containers marked with the colored pinnie, and any type of equipment that can be carried on a scooter for example a bean bag, balls, etc., and as many items as possible. In this activity you need to explain to the students how working together is extremely important in team sports. Once all the equipment is out and scattered across the gym you will split your class into 4 groups and the students will make a goal of how many items they can collect and bring to the garbage cans. The challenge in this activity is for the students to figure out how to carry the equipment along with scrambling around on their scooter. Once all the equipment is picked up, the students can check who has the most items in the garage cans and whoever has the most wins. Once the first task is completed you can make variations. Variations that can be made are changing the teams, specifying that you can only collect a certain object on the floor and you have to avoid all the others while on the

Have campers come up with their own riddles and puzzles and share with the rest of the class.

playing. The space in which they play should be equipped with different activities and toys that will

Explain to children what they are going to play today (How to fill out the forms on the desk, how doctor fill out the animal breed chart). Tell them there are 2 roles in this play, which is doctor, nurse and patient. Make sure that they are going to take turns, so they get to play all the roles. Ask children who wants to play a doctor, nurse and

Maybe even go over flash cards together at home. For example, cards that are of objects like television, car, door, chair, table, kitchen, house, dog, pillow, or blanket. Simple words that can not only help the English language learner, but maybe even the parents as well. Of course I would add pictures on the opposite side, so they know exactly what it is. In this activity, the purpose is for the parent to interact with their child and help them memorize words and know what they have trouble with.

Sit in a circle and talk – In this activity children are made to sit in circle and are given topics to discuss. Topics such as puppies, cars, etc. can be given. Children can get pictures for the given topic and talk on it. They can point out similarities and differences, its appearances, colors, etc. Finally conclude the activity saying that inspite of all the differences they are the same like for instance all puppies are adorable and cars are essential mode of transport.

During the hour to hour and a half that I’m in the room we start by cleaning up the room of the toys that were out during play time. Then we have them sit on the floor and a short lesson on how to ask for help or being nice or why you should listen to your parents; we usually have something interactive for the kids to join in while learning. After that they watch an interactive

Our library time usually consist of a child bringing the book to be asking or gesturing for me to read it. We use the book that has these flaps that the children can manipulate to push open to see the next animals all the children like to do it at once so I had to split them into turn taking. Some children prefer to look at and manipulate books on their own I assist them by asking them what is that picture of. What color is it and encourage them to count how many of the object there may be. In dramatic play children can play different roles as they explore the familiar people in the community through pretend play.

For a circle time about matching shapes and colors I would first read a book about shapes. I would then hand out different colored shapes in pairs and ask students around the circle what color their shapes are and what shape they have. They will then be given time while the music plays to seek out the matching pair in color and shape. Once the music stops we will take time to see if everyone matches. We will review each pair and if someone is mismatched we can find the right match. We will have a seat at our spots and read a book about colors. Everyone will hold on to their shapes. After the book, students will first exchange shapes with a student who has a different shape. Then the students will take turns to sort their shapes into color bins that match the shapes as well. On each bin there will be a picture of the corresponding shape and in that shape's color. During this time students are coming up in groups of four so I can see how they are sorting.Some students will come up with other students who may need help so that they can see peer assistance rather than me helping them. Lastly, we will review each color and each shape together by going over the shapes and color separately. I will call on students who have raised hands to name the shape or color. We will also talk about

The activity explain above would be a developmental and consolidating developmental, and practice activity. This activity is developmental because the teacher is teaching something new, she informs students that 10 take away one is 9. Next thing this activity demonstrates is consolidating developmental. This is demonstrated when the students count out 9 objects and add one to get ten and then take away one to get 9. The manipulates act as objects in the math problem that the students can visibly see and touch as they
