Learning Stations (April 02 - 05) (April 10 - 13)

April is the month for Mother Goose rhymes. It is important for children to understand what rhymes or rhyming words are. Exposure to beautiful poems that make childhood endearing is essential to an important and well-developed childhood.

Due to the many holidays in the coming weeks and the different activities in celebration of Easter, the learning stations are extended over a two week period in order not to feel that we have to cram everything in a week of activities.

First famous rhyme is Jack and Jill.

Art Station

The children are to make their own Jack's crown. They have a mini-book to color and trace words important to the poem (e.g., pail, water, hill, Jack, Jill). Then, they are going to cut the pictures and paste it to their pre-cut crown from construction paper.



Math Station

The children use the frogs and the lily pad to answer questions in addition. To support the visual learning of our children, I have created an anchor chart for reference.




Science Station

The children are to play a game board to determine the words 'in' 'on' 'under' 'over'. Each child will take turns in determining a card to be sorted under the said headings. Afterwhich, they accomplish their worksheet as well to show personal learning of the terms 'in' 'on' 'under' 'over'.



Literacy Station

Story sequence of the different scenes found in the rhyme allows the children to see the visual story behind the poem.
