Color, Cut and Paste Activity for Sinugbuanong Bisaya Letters Ss and Tt

My pupils really enjoy learning when I involve them with activities that allow them to color, cut, and paste.

As my evaluation for letters Ss and Tt, I followed the following procedure:
1. Prepare a worksheet divided into 3 parts. The first part would be on writing the letters. The second part is a two-column table (one column for Ss and another for Tt). The last part would contain pictures black and white of objects with names that starts with Ss and Tt.
2. Instruct the pupils to prepare crayons, scissors, and paste.
3. Tell the pupils to color the pictures first. Allow them to identify the names of the objects.
4. Let the pupils cut each picture and if the object has a name that starts with Ss, the pupils should paste the picture on the Ss column. If the object starts with letter Tt, they should paste the picture at the Tt column.
5. Have them write the letter Ss and Tt for practice.

Duration: 1 hour

Note: The worksheet in the picture is in sinugbuanong bisaya. If you wish to get a copy of the worksheet, please comment your email below. I'll sent it to you for free.

Happy teaching!!!

Teaching numbers with shapes


Materials needed:
1. a "bingo shapes" card (see photo)
2.  flashcard for each shape (folded)
3. glue
4. crayons

Procedure:
Today, my lesson in Math was on the number 4. For the past few days, my students can already identify and count the first three numbers. I used the following simple yet enjoyable time-on-task activity for kids. It does not only develop the skill of counting numbers but also the eye-hand coordination and coloring skills of the kids. This is also a good review for identifying different shapes.
1. Distribute the bingo shapes card to each students. Tell them to paste the card to their notebooks. Assist students who need help with the glue.
2. Hold the flash cards of shape and fold them in such a way that the kids could not see the shape drawn in each card.
3. Ask the pupils to get the red crayon and raise them.
4. Once you have seen that all the students were able to raise the red crayon, call one child to select a card (the ones that you folded) and let him/her show the card to the classmates. Ask "what shape can you see?"
5. Assuming that the child selected the heart shape, then say "color all the heart shape in your card red".
6. Once the children are done with the coloring, tell them to count the number of hearts. Expected answer is 4.
7. Repeat procedure #s 3 to 6 but use different colors for different shapes. Make sure to let the students count each shape after coloring to emphasize the number 4.

Yarn tracing activity

It's the end of the first week of classes and I would like to share to you a very simple activity to help kids remember letters and sounds, which I did last Tuesday after I taught them the letters "m" "a" and "s". 
I also use this to help students learn the proper way of writing letters and improve their eye-hand coordination.
The kids enjoyed doing the activity too.

Materials needed:
1. yarn
2. glue
3. bond paper with written letters
