Theme of the Week: Egg

We are doing an Egg theme this week.

Here's our lesson plan for Day 1:

Books: Chickens by Loriji Metz (Non-Ficion)

Songs (Chinese): 荷包蛋儿歌 (Video Link here) & 我的公鸡不见了儿歌 (MP3 Download Link)

Activities:

• Coloring

Color Rooster, Egg and Chick (Download Coloring Page here)

• Mystery Box – Egg

Let the children explore the egg.

Break the egg into a bowl and introduce egg white and egg yolk.

Let them crush the egg shells

We did coloring. As you can see from this picture, kids are never quite cooperative.

But I'm still happy that Y cooperated.

And K too eventually.

K asked for a blank paper after he finished his coloring and started scribbling. He kept shouting "I" and I wondered why. Upon one look, I was surprised to see that he was actually trying to write the letter "I"!! And they do look like "I"! Y was impressed, he said "Didi draw I so nice!" What a sweet brother.:)

They explored the egg shells by destroying them.

And the egg, playing with it like Goop!

Printables: Lesson Plan Template

I'm starting to go into more thematic structured learning with them and have came up with this Lesson Plan Template. The lesson plan is based on a 5 days programme. Well, kids (or Mommy) need a break during the weekends too! And I'm sharing my template with you, you can download the template at this link below.
