Today, the students were introduced to the “ee” sound. I divided the class into four groups. At one station, students read a book about a sleepy sheep, while at another, they did a word search featuring “ee” words. In the third station, they labeled words with “ee,” and at the final station, their favorite, they colored sheep pictures and added cotton to resemble wool. We ended the session with a farm animal matching memory game and sang (while playing a percussion accompaniment to) “Baa Baa Black Sheep” together!
Lesson duration- 1.5 hrs
Today, on day 4 of my community service at the local government school, I read the story ‘The Lion and the Mouse’ to the students to teach them the moral that size doesn’t matter—anyone can help anyone, and it’s always important to be kind, as you never know who might help you in return. Afterward, I had them make small puppets of the mouse and the lion, and they acted out the story with music. Finally, the students completed worksheets to improve their English, spelling, and comprehension skills, spelling words like ‘lion,’ ‘mouse,’ and ‘jungle,’ and forming small sentences.
Today, I taught students about the names of different regions through the story of “The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse.” The lesson emphasized the importance of respecting one’s roots and appreciating their village. Through the story, students also learned the value of respecting other people and their diverse backgrounds.
Today, being the students’ last day before the winter holiday, I organised a festive Christmas-themed session. To introduce the concept of opposites, I used engaging, holiday-related examples, such as, “Presents are kept below the tree, while the star is placed above.” Building on their cognitive skills, the students also created their own DIY Christmas trees. The hands-on activity sparked their creativity and enthusiasm, making it a joyful and memorable experience for everyone.
