Today we did

1. Sang Good Afternoon song

2. Shirley showed this book "Baby bears". It has many words in each page

She said tots see picture not words but parents should point the words when reading to tot so that tots know the words mean something when they start to read. Pointing the words also let tots knows that a sentance goes from left to right. Describe the pictures to the tots and asked questions about the picture to make tot think what is behind the pictures.

Png Png brought his green care bear. Shirly asked if there is green color bear in real life. She asked what is the color of the bears then pointed to the book and said there are brown bears, black bears, white polar bears, white face with black eye patch and limbs the panda bear.

She pointed to picture of a bear cub and said that it is grey in color. Bear cubs are weak. They can't climb trees and eat food like adult bears. They drink milk just like human babies.

Adult bears eat food and climb trees. They use sharp claws to grab on the tree and their 4 legs to climb tree. There is a picture on a few bears on a tree.

Shirley asked why the bears climb the tree? She said a 4 year old tot said the bear climb tree to look for fish. She answered the bears climb tree to look for mummy or playing or chase each other. She asked how bear eats fish. Bear eats fish using it's hand with sharp claws to hold the fish and mouth to bite

3. Tot were given 5 bears to arrange from the smallest to the biggest. Png Png has no problem with this now4. For older tots, parents wrote words on a stripe of paper and let tot match the list of words on a piece of paper. After that, parents introduced rhyming by reading the words on left side of the list and the rhyming words on the right side of the list. Shirley taught the other parent on the same table as me to ask the tot to read a word and another 2 words then ask tot which 1 sound the same eg hide and wide or hide and us. She didn't teach me to do that. Perhaps she thought I know what to do?
For younger tots, parents arrange alphabet to form the words on the list and read to tot.
