It's our 6th lesson at Growing Up Gifted today. As usual, mummy and daddy take turns to attend the class with me.
I am taught the letter "X" and is introduced to Xavier the Fox. X for Fox, Six and Box!
Next, it's story telling time. Teacher Yanni read us a book titled "Goldilocks and the Three Bears".
The teachers taught us a Finger Play Rhyme: Grandma's Glasses.
Here are Grandma's glasses, (Make little circles with fingers over eyes to resemble glasses.)
Here is Grandma's hat, (Circle head and pretend to be tying ribbon underneath chin.)
This is the way she folds her hands and puts them on her lap. (Fold hands sweetly on lap.)
Here are Grandpa's glasses (Make circles bigger than grandma's.)
Here is Grandpa's hat (Make a big hat overhead with hands and arms.)
This is the way he folds his arms and sits just like that (Fold arms across chest, lean back in chair and cross one knee over other.)
Off to the music room we go today! My favourite session where I danced around the room and amuse the teachers with my special squatting dance.
We sang "The Bubble Song" (to the tune of "Sing a Song of Sixpence")
Sing a song of bubbles
Floating in the air,
Filled with rainbow colors
Swirling here and there.
Blowing lots of bubbles,
I don't want to stop.
What fun it is to catch one,
And touch it with a POP!
Xavier fox goes "Ks-Ks-Ks"
"Ks-Ks-Ks", "Ks-Ks-Ks"
Xavier fox goes "Ks-Ks-Ks"
All day at the zoo.
Weather Song (to the tune of "B.I.N.G.O)
There was a time when it was hot,
And sunny was the weather!
Sun, Sun all around (3x)
And sunny was the weather!
*You can change the weather to:
1- Windy = Cold, Windy
2- Cloudy = Dark, Cloudy
3- Rainy = Wet, Rainy
It's sensory time today during the creative arts and crafts. Teacher Khairin showed us how to stick a bunch of strings as a tail on the picture of a fox and how to finger paint it. What a mess and what fun it was!
x - Xavier Fox:
Crossing your index fingers, move them as if you were knitting. Say the letter sound, "x" ("ks"). (Xavier Fox is the only sound which comes in the middle - as in boxes, or at the end of a word - as in fox. "X" at the beginning of a word = the sound of "Z" as in Xerox.)
