Monkeys had Fun! August- (ORG)

Hello everyone, We are back again with our monthly Reading Group!

This August, we started with Monkeys.

Here you can see we use 2 books.

Both books do talk about monkeys and what they do.

So I incorporated Actions words.

It was pretty fun as the children could act and play with the words.

After reading the book, we do some bouncing using the Bouncy ball.

All children take turns and had fun. So you can see they learn the word Bounce!

Next we did some craftwork. We let the children do cut and paste.

They were to make a monkey face!

Easy job for kids ages 3-5.

They cut it and paste it all by themselves.

Don't you just love our monkeys!

We are going to hang this in our bedroom!

Lastly before we end the session, we did a monkey dance!

 

Here you go,

First scratch your tummy, then lift up your chest,

then scratch your chin, after that lift your hands and reach up to the sky.

Do a silly walk, and pose!

Now wave goodbye and spread your wings up to the sky!

 

Hope you all have fun!

We just did!

September Ballerinas - (ORG)

It's (ORG)September Reading again, and this time

the theme is:

Ballerina

Who does not love ballerinas?

Especially young little girls,

they just have to dress up like one too!

We start off with a book about a Ballerina

who loves to dance and tries to be perfect.

The Title is:

The Not So Perfect Ballerina

Written by: Nicola Baxter

Illustrated by: Pauline Siewert 

After the story telling sessions,

we started to do some simple stretching.

Just a warm up for them, and to

learn a little about ballerina stretching exercises.

 

Well by the end of the story, we ask the children to pose like a ballerina.

We also did teach them the Plié and 5 basic ballet positions.

See how lovely they are!

Here you can see that they are happily practising their skills.

Tip toeing, jumping, bending their knees, etc.

They are having so much fun!

Now the little ones do the final pose of a ballerina.

Lift one foot up and gracefully put your hands out to balance.

The Arabesque! Of course they all need a little help there.

I guess this was an introductory of ballet to all the kids.

Also, here only Little Tiff started formal ballet class

compare to all, and she did help

to show the other kids what it takes to be a ballerina.

Good job to all, hope you all learn to ballet now.

Oh yes, We are celebrating the September Kids birthday!

Here would like to wish,

Little Miss Olivia, and Cher Ru,

Happy Birthday to you girls!

 

Thanks to all that participate and mommies who had helped!

We all have a good time!
