Observing The School Session Day

Observing The School Session Day--

Today we had observing school session day in my school. On this day, parent(s) can sit in the classroom for ~30 minutes and witness the school session first hand.
Hence, my father visited my classroom today. When he first came, our teacher was reading a 'Thanks Giving' story for us. After reading a chapter from the book, we did a drawing activity where we had to draw a picture and write a sentence about it. My father talked to me and my other class-mates who sit on my table.

The arrangements of the class:
--There are 4 tables and 6 students sit on each table and do activities, like drawing, story-board, etc.
--There is rug where we all students sit together and listen to the story teacher tells us or do any other group activity.
--There are other sections in the class like story board (where we tell a story in pictures and stick there), dramatic place (where we have some costumes to play drama), science, etc.
--We have some racks where we some items which we use for playing and learning. These items are like buttons, plastic backyard bugs, small-big pebbles, crayons, magnets, magnetic letters, books to read, globe, papers, etc. We also put our back-packs, lunch bags and jackets in racks and hangers.
--Computer and TV are also there for learning. We also have other items for developing speaking and reading skills by making sounds.

Few points:
--The emphasis during this phase of KG is to socialize the students and be expressive.
--After each story, we play “share the fact” game where each student has to discuss a fact about the story with his nearby students.
--We also play a “lips and ear” game which is played by pair of students. Each student has either lips or ear card. The one with lips can only talk and (s)he tells a story and the one with ear has to listen (CAN NOT TALK). Then students switch lips and ear cards.

My father liked a pamphlet stuck in class. The pamphlet was “How To Control Anger”: When angry:
--Don’t hurt others, yourself or any property.
--Stop and freeze.
--Count to 10 (you should know how to count :-) ).
--Talk to the person you are angry with.
--Write down or draw how you feel.
--Burn out your anger by doing some exercise like running, cycling, etc. or do any activity you like.

Another good pamphlet: “Good Manners”:
--Wait for your turn.
--Use polite words.
--Listen carefully.
--Cooperate with others.
--Show your appreciation.
--Give compliments.
