They also updated the vocabulary wall and Celebration calendar. English: This week, students were introduced to rhyming words through an activity where each student was given a piece of paper with a cvc word written on it, they read the word and matched its rhyming word amongst their peers. Students also wrote the rhyming words of ‘at’, ‘ug’‘in’, ‘it’, “en” and “og” families in their process journals. Formative assessment on sentence formation and punctuation was done. Students were shown a picture of a dog, sun, hen and bat and were asked to frame a sentence and write it with proper punctuation in their process journals. Math: This week, students were introduced to the concept of ‘patterns’. They participated in an activity where students had to close their eyes while the teacher played beats in a pattern. The students then had to repeat the same pattern, after opening their eyes. After a discussion with the teacher, they watched a video on patterns for further understanding on the subject. As a part of UOI integration, students created a decorative mat called mkeka (which is a Kwanzaa festival decorative mat) with the help of pre-cut shapes. Children were given shapes to create a pattern which they pasted on a sheet of paper to make a mat. Hindi: Students practiced writing the vyanjan “ka” in their process journals.
