Second activity ( 3D shapes ‘ Pyramid’ )

This week for the numeracy lessons, students are taking 3D shapes. One lesson that I did was about the pyramid so the activity was making pyramid using paper.

The high group abilities did the activity well while the low group ability faced a problem and only one child could make the pyramid. For the other students in the group it was difficult for them so I tried to do break the instruction of the activity into small steps and I modeled each one of them and make sure that each child did it. However, some student couldn’t do it, so mw and the English teacher helped them in sticking their pyramids.

It seems that the activity was difficult for this group and some of the students fine motor skills are not ready yet for such activities. Next time, I will try to provide an activity that support and develop their fine motor skills because they need more work on them.

First activity ( making sandwich)

We still going on the food unite and the words for this week are ( bread, chicken, and chees) I decided to provide an activity that include all these things which is making sandwich. The students were very excited to make their own sandwich. The activity went well and the students love it. Most of the students finished making their sandwich quickly and eat it, so during the extra time I asked them questions about the activity such as what did you put inside your sandwich , which one you liked most and so on .

First Week- Third activity

The third activity ( Hopscotch game)

In this activity I used 4 cards these cards includes the sentence ( I like to eat ) words ( Tomato , cucumbers, cherries. Carrots). In the ground I put the hopscotch game but in staid of numbers there will be pictures of the 4 fruits and vegetables ( Tomato , cucumbers, cherries. Carrots). The child will pick a card and then he will try to read it . When he read it he will try to show if he understand which fruit is this by jumping to the fruit picture.

However, I noticed that most of the students couldn’t read the sentence because it was difficult for them so I changed the game to be , me saying the name of the fruit or vegetable and the child need to jump and show that he understand which one I mean.

The second activity ( Guessing the food game)

During this activity I divided the class to two teams. ( boys and girls), take each time one boy and one girl. Ask the boy and they girl to close their eyes and give each one type of fruit or vegetable and ask them to taste it and feel it then they should guess what it is. The one who know first will add a point to his team. Complete the activity until we have a winner.

I could make the activity more challenging by asking the students to describe the fruit or the vegetable.

First Week - First activity

This week my class started a new unite which is food, so I did several activities with the children related to the food theme.

The first activity ( Making food using mud)

During the outside time I asked the students to play with mud and try to make different types of food. the children were happy and having fun. Most of the girls were engaged while some boys were playing with the mud and not creating food. I tried to make them make different things than each other because most of them were copying each other work so I told them that this will be competition, who will make a healthy food. Then they started making fruits and vegetables and the activity went well.
