Math Station
The children are learning about symmetry. Symmetry means that both sides of the mask must be the same, as if the half of the mask is the reflection of the other half.
Some of the masks done in the class:
Literacy Station
The children are learning about the letter 'H' through the poem Horse by the Hay. They once again will learn the sound of the letter 'H', practice writing the letter 'H' 'h' and colour their horse.
See James and John discussing their work!
Art Station
The afternoon class is making their Chinese lanterns by colouring a beautiful pattern and making slits in the middle of the paper.
Meanwhile, the morning class is making their dragon puppets with paper bags, construction paper and googly eyes. The afternoon class will make their own dragon puppets during Wednesday afternoon.
Science Station
To keep the Chinese New Year as the Year of the Dragon, I decided to create a teacher-directed lesson/inquiry about a real life dragon, the Komodo Dragon. With a chart paper, I drew the picture of a komodo dragon as an illustration for the kids to see. After researching over the weekend about the Komodo Dragon, I zoomed in the important scientific facts of the said animal: reptile, biggest lizard in the world, predator, dangerous. The kids looked so shocked when I told them that in 1970, a tourist wandered away from his friends and sat in the shade. The only thing that they could find of him was his camera. Many of the villagers suspected that he was eaten by the Komodo Dragons!
The children had to cite an important fact that they learned from the discussion which I write on a strip of construction paper. This is the interesting fact that they put on their worksheet. Afterwhich, they label the parts of the Komodo Dragon either by writing the words or pasting the words.
Sand Station
The children create mountains and hills using sand.
