Paper Fruit Basket
bhelle
7:55 pm
0 Comments
Children loves doing something to
make them busy. Aside from playing and doing circle time, etc. with them
everyday. We introduce also arts and crafts for the 2 to 3 years old.
Although, some of the children do not have patience of doing arts and do not
have interest at all, we the educators will try to motivate them to do and
finish what they started, this is to ensure that their cognitive skills and fine motor skills will develop.
One of the arts and crafts we did
with our group in the daycare was making fruit basket as part of the theme for
March 1 to 5. Our theme was about "Fruits and
Vegetables".
This activity is intended for all the age group. For the 2 to 3 years
old. I did cut all the materials, glued and form the basket together except the
paper fruits.

Weather Wheel Chart
bhelle

Proudly
Present: My very own made Weather Wheel Chart
During my Observation and
experimentation midterm class oral presentation, it was optional if
you will make your own weather wheel or ready made weather wheel. However, most
of the students chose to make our own and showed our creativity.
Part of our program as an early
childhood educator is to be creative, so why not practicing and enhancing our
little talents in arts and making crafts as early as possible.
Weather chart is very useful in
everyday lives particularly teaching our young children about the weather. It
gives the children a concrete ideas of what the weather looks like and feels
like. It will also give them basic information on what to wear in every season
appropriately.
Giving lessons or mentioning to the
children everyday during the circle time will enhance their cognitive skills
about the weather.

My Ideal Arts Classroom
bhelle
9:26 pm
0 Comments
My ideal art room may have some
characteristics that are different from the regular classroom. One important
thing I may consider first is the four corner wall since this is the foundation
for all learning activity. What I mean for this is the painting and
accommodation; it should be comfortable, calm and inviting for children to
enjoy and have fun while staying and learning in my art room. On the first
wall, there will be a display art gallery of their finished product, so that it
is easy for them to review and discuss their works. Aside from that, there will
be also a display cabinet on the second wall, this will be for the
architectural-sculptural artworks and it should be near the windows facing to
the hallways where teachers and other students can see the display. My third
wall will be the storage and lockers where I can store all my valuable things,
arts stuff and or any materials involving arts and crafts. On the last wall,
will be my smart board and some electrical outlets. Talking about storage,
there will be a lot of shelves and drying racks. Includes with these are deep
and wider drawer for large paper and posters if any. In my art room, every inch
of space is considered valuable.
Lighting is a must in arts room.
There will be lights on the middle of the room and if there is natural light
coming from the window, curtains will be applied if necessary. Direct and zoned
lighting is important so these options will be present in my ideal art room.
Students will be comfortable putting their creative imagination into real piece
of arts if light is very compelling.
Sink is also vital in arts room. This
is where the students do their cleaning, like washing arts tools and hand. The
location will be beside the corner of working counter space, it is large and
resistant of acid or any chemicals. So much for that, I consider also the
flooring that it is sealed and not carpeted. It is easy for the students to
clean up the mess. In addition, there will be an exhausted fan to suck up dust
or any undesirable odors or particles to make the atmosphere clean and breathe
safely. Also cupboards, working counters are present, those will be located
below the hanging work displays and beside the smart board.
All my art supply will be non-toxic,
it is expensive but it is worthy to make sure that all students are safe. I
even consider introducing a recycled product, in this way, we can save money
and help the environment. Like, paper bag, cardboard boxes, plastic bottles,
etc. can be useful in making arts.

This felt story is one of my final
project during my last semester in Early Childhood Education at TAV College. It
is also one of my favorite.
I got this idea on one of the blog
when I search for a unique nursery rhyme. I really like the idea that she uses
MOMMY in replace of "BINGO". Therefore, it came into my mind, to
make a nice felt stories about mommy in the tune of "Bingo" dedicated
to all mommies around the world especially to my Nanay (mother).
It is really a cute idea that can be
use in teaching early childhood education during the celebration of mother's
day. If you have felt board you can easily used and sing the nursery rhyme in
the tune of "BINGO". However, if felt board is not available you can
still use by placing them into your dress as you sing the nursery rhyme.
MOMMY
(Bingo)
I have a
very cool friend
And Mommy
is her name-O
M O M M Y
M O M M Y
M O M M Y
And Mommy
is her name-O
(Follow
the sequence/tune like BINGO)
My children loves to sing this improvise nursery rhyme and I am sure the other children too. The felt story will actually help the children to show their love for their mother. They will also learn the perfect nursery rhyme intended for their mother and they will appreciate more how the mother is important for them, not only being a mom but mommy can be their best friend too.
Materials I used for making MOMMY
FELT STORY
·
felt sheets of different colors
·
glue gun
·
pattern for mommy
·
needle and thread
·
googly eyes
Note: for the mommy pattern I draw it
first and then I cut it together with the felt sheets. If someone is interested
you can search online a mommy pattern or you can use even the mommy clip arts.

Box Town
Making buildings can be very fun for
these age groups particularly boxes because kids loves boxes. This activity
will enhance their self-esteem and develop their self confidence as they make
box town together.
Rules of this activity: Divide the children into two groups. Let them choose what building
design they want to create, colors, etc. Let them manipulate the materials for
the activity.
Safety and health rules (if
necessary): Presence of the teacher is a
must.
Materials or preparation needed
before the activity:
Materials:
Boxes of various sizes, toilet rolls,
tissue paper or just a roll of white paper, sticky tape, scissors, coloured
paper, assorted buttons, crayons, thin masking tape, a few little cars and
“villagers”
Procedures:
To make buildings: Wrap up boxes and other empty containers with colored paper. Have
an adult cut out doors if wanted. Use tissue tubes for chimneys. Decorate with
windows, flower boxes, etc.
To make trees: Use a tissue paper tube for the trunk. Draw a green blob on stiff
paper or cardboard for the leaf canopy and cut it out. Tape the green canopy to
the tube.
Setting or space needed for the
activity: This activity can be done outdoor (ideal if the weather is good)
or indoor. Must have a big space for two groups in order to emphasize each box
town.
Support from colleagues (if
necessary): For two groups yes, support is
really needed so that she/he can supervise the students.
Activity introduction
(starter): Introduce the materials to the
students for the activity to drawn their attention. Start cutting some shape to
be glued on the box building then, let the children follow or let them make
their own way.
Explanation of strategy that you
used: I will show to them as an example on
how to cut into desired sizes of the box buildings, trees, pavement, etc. As
this activity promotes self-esteem and social skills, I will let the children
manipulate, construct and build according to their creativity.
Can this activity be expanded to
fulfill other objectives or reinforce the main objective:
Yes, by asking related questions to
the children regarding the activity they did. Likewise, describing their
emotions after building the town. I will let the children talk with each other
about their rules and contribution of making the box town.
Evaluate of this activity (do you
meet your objectives):
Yes, I met my objectives, the
children cooperate each other, discuss and giving their best to do the box town
knowledgeably and creatively.
Which developmental does this
activity promotes: The activity promotes physical
development, creativity and language skills.
Objectives and key
experiences: At the end of the activity, the children should be able to
establish and accept responsibility of the assigned task.
