Fun Class: U for Up and Under

Chloe was sick again, but she was excited when I mentioned about fun class. I think one of the reasons she likes my fun classes so much is because she gets to do the craft and brush painting which is her favourite colouring material.

She was rather tired when her fever shot up to 38.5 degree, but getting more energetic after having her fever medicine and hearing about fun class.

While I was digging the materials for her fun class, she was talking non-stop giving me instruction on where to put the papers, materials and etc......

She sang the greeting song to start the lesson.

She told me to leave the letter U paper on her table, and she traced the letter without waiting for my instruction.

We then listened to the phonics sound and song of letter U, which went like this:
Up and Under u, u, u.....
u is the sound of U!

She took out the pictures of objects spelled after letter U from an envelop, she would tell me the name of the objects before pasting them on the letter U paper.

She label the pictures. With her phonics, she can now guess most of the words right.

The completed picture:

I prompted her to spell "Up" and "Under", the "Up" was still acceptable but the "Under" was horrible. Anyway a good try.

The craft for this lesson was to do up an under water drawing. I mortified it a bit to suit her interest of brush painting. She brush painted the background, pasted  the cut out of fish and jellyfish, and touch up the arms of the jellyfish and seaweeds.

We ended the lesson after watching the video of "Skidamarink".
