Practical life exercises- 1

Few practical life exercises on our shelf.

I am using seeds for few exercises. Children love these exercises but few want  the same tray which their friend is busy with. Most of them like the big white bean seeds.  I use  a sponge to wipe in case they spill water during wet pouring .

Christmas craft -1

Today  children were busy with  Christmas related  craft. Nursery group  do not have the idea of what   Christmas is  like and who  Santa Claus is. I didn't go in detail so just told them that when it is cold and snowing Santa brings gifts for children who behave well. For a moment  they sat with their legs crossed and arms folded. Usually  it is very noisy when we have art and craft work.  They need extra care during water painting.
I drew and cut  out a shape of Christmas tree from a thick cardboard  using a paper cutter. I  used  the other part as a stencil for painting. For snow cotton was glued.

Little more than alphabets-Teaching Nepali

I made few materials for practice. I used  construction paper and pasted on thick cardboard.  Wide cello tape was used to cover the cards except the round shaped ones. I think children found it easy to pick up than the laminated ones.

1. Two letter picture card with matching word card.
     Picture cards have name written on it so the child can see and put the corresponding word card under it.

2.  Loose alphabet cards to match with the corresponding objects.
     A child has to think of the right alphabets to put beside the object.
