It's a pleasant coincidence that the theme of the class that Baby attended last week is on Ants. :) I thought that was a godsend as this topic was planned to be covered next week. :) I had the privilege of walking through the topic in a breeze, adding only some supplements to strengthen his idea of ants.
We started off with the letters...
Then, we flashed the words...
Followed by some pictures...
And, we did craftwork...
We did coloring...
We sang songs...
We played toy...
We had an imaginary taste of...
We read books... all on Ants!

Picture cards and real ant! (actually I passed off some crawling bug as an ant. He tried to follow its movement and catch it!)
Bible Verses
Proverbs 30:24
Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise:
Proverbs 30:25
Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer;
Proverbs 6:6
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!
Music & Action The Ants Go Marching
I heard and seen most of the videos about this song on YouTube but none satisfied me. There were variations in the lyrics and the sound of the videos were no good, some too soft, others can make you sleep. I managed to pick this but still find this video too long to capture Baby's attention:
The lyrics:
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah, (march)
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah,
The ants go marching one by one,
The little one stops to suck his thumb, (pretend to suck thumb)
And they all go marching down to the ground, (stoop and march)
To get out of the rain. Boom, Boom, Boom!
Repeat with:
Two by two - tie his shoe
Three by three - climb a tree
Four by four - shut the door
Five by five - take a dive
Six by six - pick up sticks
Seven by seven - pray to heaven
Eight by eight - shut the gate
Nine by nine - check the time
Ten by ten - say the end.
小蚂蚁
A chinese song on ants. Somehow I like the chinese children songs. They are simple and meaningful.
