\u201cGoal is what you want to do!\u201d Someone answered when the teacher asked the question \u201cWhat is a goal?\u201d Using this idea, we identified which statements express what you want to do and which are not by playing \u201cThis or That\u201d game. Most of them were able to identify the statements correctly and everybody agreed that the meaning of goal is something that you want to do, something that will make you or others happy after doing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To know the importance of having a goal, we did an activity without and with a goal. First, they tried to make something with a paper with their group without further explanation given by the teacher. Someone asked \u201cWhat shall we make?\u201d Someone took the origami book and tried to make something. The second time, the teacher told them to make something \u201clong\u201d with a paper and two groups were able to do it. While the other two groups had a conflict, we used this opportunity to talk about practicing teamwork and resolving conflicts. After the discussion, we tried again for the third time and they were able to do their job successfully remembering to be caring, communicators, and open-minded to each other. According to them, doing activity without a goal is difficult because they don\u2019t know what to do with the paper and doing activity with a goal is better because they can understand what to do and they can think how to do the activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Phonics, we learned about the \/ck\/ digraph. After presenting pictures, they noticed that all the words had the \/k\/ sound at the end of the word and they discovered that the digraph they would learn is \/ck\/. We practiced reading \/ck\/ digraph words and played digraph \/ck\/ musical chairs. The teacher sticks some words on the chair and once the music stops, the students who are sitting on that chair have to read the word. It was an engaging activity because they are not only learning but also having fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sports Festival preparation has started. This year\u2019s theme is \u201cJungle\u201d and since Milky Way students love the song \u201cRoar\u201d by Katy Perry,  they chose it to be their music for their performance. Please see the link below and let\u2019s sing with our kids at home. Milky Way class will use gauze, a type of light cloth that you can see through, usually made of cotton or silk, for their dance performance. On Wednesday, they started to practice the dance steps little by little and we were surprised that most of them were able to pick up the dance steps quickly.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
