Today was a morning lesson for the Kinder 3 class, so lots of energy to use up.  First, we started with the “Walk around the Circle” song.  The children enjoy the movements.  Starting with walking,



we moved on to galloping, then tip-toeing.  Then some sleeping.



Always a favorite.  Once “awake,” the children then hopped and twirled.



With the warm-up finished, we all said hello.



The first phrase we practiced today was “Excuse me!”  It’s a more polite way to get someone’s attention.



Once they had the instructors attention, they would ask for something. It’s usually for something like a tissue, or to go to the toilet, but I think the children were a bit hot, as most of them wanted a drink.



With thirsts quenched, we practiced adding and subtracting numbers.  First, counting up to 30 is getting faster for them, great work.  For the game, we put out 2 piles of blocks and said “plus.”  The children then had to add the two piles and give me the answer.



We then did the same for “minus,” where they had to subtract the 2nd pile from the 1st.  Addition was easier for them, but they are starting to get used to subtraction.  Once we had practiced with the instructor, it was time for the children to choose the blocks.



Once the children had had their fill of counting, we moved on to the alphabet.  We sang the “ABC song” with hearty volume and clapping, then moved on to their workbooks.



The children opened their books to the correct page.  Today, they had to choose the small letter that corresponded with the big letter.  After a little demonstration,



the children got to choosing and coloring.



They pronounced the letters well, but identifying small “Q” was still a bit tricky. In the end, though, everyone enjoyed the coloring.



With the pencils put away and the books put back in their box, it was time to say “Goodbye, goodbye” to another lesson.  With a wave of their hand and a big high touch,



the children said goodbye and moved on. Excellent effort today. A job well done.
