“The best way to make children good is to make them happy.” – Oscar Wilde
There is nothing that kids love more than taking things out and be fascinated by the smallest of surprises that they find within a box! So, we've come up with a way to surprise your kids along with developing their cognitive process! This new fun activity "Feed your puppy", will require your little ones to take paper bones of random colors out of a box and feed their adorable little handmade puppies!
This game of pretence will help them identify and differentiate a variety of colors and also increase their color vocabulary!
Objectives:
1. To develop the cognitive skills of color recognition and eye- hand coordination.
2. To develop and enhance task orientation and counting skills.
Based on the story of "The very hungry caterpillar" we
have made up a simple activity
that can be done easily and through which the children will be able
to learn the days of the week and counting numbers. Since
they are missing the circle time activity which they usually have
at play school, I have decided to create this simple yet engaging circle
time activity at home.
Learning Objectives:
1. To learn the days of the week.
2. To enhance the counting skills
3. To indemnity the healthy foods and junk foods
4. To learn about the beautiful life cycle of a butterfly (egg,
caterpillar, cocoon, butterfly)
Direction:
In our virtual class we began our day with
the reading of the book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". We then lead the kids through the counting of
one apple, two pears, three plums, four straw berries, five oranges and
ten junk foods (one chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one
pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one
piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of
watermelon)
Through a small illustration of a little boy
eating Junk food on a Saturday and having a stomach ache that night, we gave an
insight on healthy eating to the kids and also taught them to identify junk
food and healthy food.
After the story reading we sang the ‘Days of the week’
from
"Super Simple Song"

Our dear parents were so happy to do the

videos.

One day God told Jonah, "Go to the city of Nineveh!
Its people have done wrong. Tell them I will punish them."
But Jonah was very scared. He ran away.
Jonah went to sea. He jumped on a ship that took him far
away from Nineveh.
But God sent a great storm.
Waves splashed into the ship and the sailors were afraid.
But Jonah lay asleep below deck.
"wake up, Jonah!" called the captain.
"Help us or we'll all drown!"
"It's my fault," said Jonah. I'm running away
from God - that's why He sent this storm."
"Toss me intothe sea," Jonah told the sailors.
"Then the storm will stop."
The moment they threw Jonah into the water the storm
stopped.
Down into the swirling water sank Jonah.
Then - gulp! Something swallowed him!
It was huge, huge fish!
Jonah was inside the fish for three days and nights.
"Help me Lord!" he prayed.
At last the fish spat Jonah out on to a beach.
"Go to Nineveh!" God told Jonah again. Tell the
people I'm going to punish them."
This time Jonah did as God said.
He went to Nineveh and warned the people "we're very
sorry," they said. "we will change."
From Jonah's story we learnt that we should obey God and
obey parents. If we have disobeyed them we should ask sorry for what we have
done.
After the story we learnt a song .
Who Did (Swallow Jonah)
Who did, who did
Who did, who did
Who did swallow
Jo, Jo, Jo, Jo (3)
Who did swallow Jonah
Who did swallow Jonah
Who did swallow Jonah down?
Whale did, whale did
Whale did, whale did
Whale did swallow
Jo, Jo, Jo, Jo (3)
Whale did swallow Jonah
Whale did swallow Jonah
Whale did swallow Jonah down
Then we moved on to the craft.
We made this fun puppet to illustrate the
story of Jonah and the Whale.

4.Glue your googly eye on your whale (or draw the eye on with
marker).
5.Glue each half of the whale to the clothespin. (Make
sure that both halves line up. Also make sure that you glue only the edge
of each half-whale to one half of the clothespin.)
6.Glue Jonah on the reverse side of the

Now it looks like the whale is eating Jonah (Jonah in
the belly of the whale).
Our kids enjoyed the fish they made.
