Watch me grow

Dear Parents, I'm sure that you have gone through your child's documentation on the sequencing of their growth since birth to their 'resolution' for this year. Sequencing is also further reinforced through the activity of 'My calendar 2010'. Through that activity, children learnt what is next such as after Sunday is Monday and the cycle repeats.We have no doubt at all that our children know Monday to Sunday at their finger-tips. You will be surprised that when another attribute is introduced, children at this age will need a lot of guidance to crunch the sequence correctly and some still need more exposure that there is no 32nd of Jan, eg. if 31st Jan is a Friday, which day is 1st Feb (a few who are all set to think will answer Monday bcos beginning of new month means new day:-Good try, bcos they are thinking!Others who gave a wild guess couldn't explain for their choice bcos they have not notice that 31st Jan is the last day of that month).During your parental involvement at home, you may make use of your calendar to go through with your child. Please emphasize on sequence instead of focusing on memorising the names of month or the number of days in that month. Other than sequencing indoor, we sequence outdoor too! It took a while for some of the children to pass the baton to the correct person or to move to the next position!But after the 3rd practise session outdoor plus the many indoor activities on the concept of sequencing, they succeeded.Hippee! Hooray!The activity may be chaotic.If your child could find the sequence out of chaos,you should celebrate! Seat back and enjoy the pictures and the video!
