Ladybug Ladybug!
by Cheryl Villareal on Aug 7th, 2010
Besides circles, we are also currently discussing the color red! Hence... the red apples and now, the ladybug! :) We started off by reading the Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle! We did however have to simplify it since we were dealing with toddlers! After telling them the story, we showed them our ladybug! I let them play with it a little and later on asked them if they wanted to make a ladybug of their own! So if you want to make one too.. here'...Read More » Tags

Fruit Loop Bracelets
by Cheryl Villareal on Jul 31st, 2010
Children.. and even adults love eating fruit loops! So why not use this to further strengthen the lesson? This specific activity is actually a lacing activity that helps develop fine motor skills. It would also be easier for older kids to do since young children’s fine motor skills are not yet fully developed. Still, the end product works for all ages. The teachers simply need to assist the young children more in doing this activity. Since w...Read More » Tags

The Hungry Caterpillar goes ROUND and COLORFUL
by Cheryl Villareal on Jul 27th, 2010
This week, the kiddos are learning all about the circle shape! Shapes are such a fun thing to teach because there's just so many things we can do! Though, we do have to restrict ourselves from doing too much cause we might ran out of activities for future lessons. (hehe) - For our circle activity, we decided to have the children make caterpillars! If you're a kindergarten teacher, I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say there are several w...Read More » Tags

Crayon resist magic
by Cheryl Villareal on Jul 17th, 2010
Young children are easily fascinated.. that's why magic always works with them regardless of how simple it may be! It becomes even more fun for them when they are able to perform that "magic" on their own. Even after they've done it, they still couldn't believe it! It often gives them a feeling of great joy and accomplishment that they were able to do such a mind-boggling task! Last week we prepared a crayon resist activity for the children. I...Read More » Tags

Teaching animations!
by Cheryl Villareal on Jul 16th, 2010
Preschool is oftentimes a lot of fun because of our cute and curious little kids. It's always a blessing to see their faces whenever they discover something for the first time... and believe me, there's a lot of this in our class! I teach the pre-nursery level in a big school in Makati. The kids barely talk and rarely react. During the first few weeks, or even months of school, it would often feel like I was doing a one woman act! "What col...Read More » Tags
