Frogs

I hope all is well. Before I begin, I'd like to apologise for not updating as I have been so so busy. So kindly bear with me and I promised to post up all the activities which the children have done for the past few months. I would also like to welcome Tan Kai Zhen, Verolyn Lim and Oliver Ong to Fingertips. Thank you for choosing Fingertips.

Croak! Croak! Croak !"Frogs" has been our theme for the month of May. "Frogs" is especially appropriate for the toddlers and kindergartners because they are fascinated with animals and are often highly motivated to explore their immediate environment.


The overall purpose of this unit is to help my students learn about the metamorphosis and the development of this amphibian species. Photos of this metamorphosis were laminated and and hung at the children eye level.

We have also planned various lessons and activities of this unit to help children to develop related concepts as they gain an appreciation of ways frogs help our environment. The children also had direct observational experiences and cared for this amphibian even though just for half an hour. I managed to get a frog ( well I wouldn't have the guts to catch it, but my hubby) for the children to observe and much to the children excitement, I had to let the frog go.

They also have had opportunities to express themselves through creative work in art, music and movement activities.

Frogs templates were colored and each child has to glue the frog's body part using their own creativity.

We decorated our school with origami frogs.

We made these frog tin to store our origami stars.

We made frog headband to wear for our singing sessions. We sang and enjoyed our "8 Little Speckled frogs" instead of "5 Little Speckled Frog".
