Gender Differences: A Journey of Self-Discovery

Image
  At  Ela Green School , we believe that every child is unique and should be celebrated for who they are. As part of our commitment to diversity and inclusion, we recently had a lesson on gender differences. The children were eager to learn more about themselves and their peers, and they were excited to share their own observations and experiences. We started by asking them to describe their own physical characteristics. They pointed out their hair color, eye color, height, and other features. Then, we asked them to describe each other’s appearances. They noticed each other’s clothes, shoes, and accessories. Next, we talked about the differences between boys and girls. The children pointed out that boys and girls often have different hairstyles, clothing, and interests. They also noticed that boys and girls’ bodies are different. Finally, we gave the children the opportunity to create representations of a man and a woman using cut-outs. They carefully pasted the parts together to creat

Ela Green School kids Identifying Numbers: The Penguin Way

Image
At Ela Green School , we believe that learning should be fun and engaging. That's why we use a variety of interactive and whimsical methods to teach our students new concepts. One of the ways we teach our students about numbers is through the use of penguin-shaped blocks. We start by presenting our students with the blocks and asking them to match them to flashcards with the numbers one to five. At first, some of our students may be hesitant, but as they start to match the blocks and hear the numbers being called out, they quickly warm up to the activity. Once our students are comfortable matching the blocks to the numbers, we start to introduce them to number family rhymes. These rhymes are a fun and easy way for children to learn about the different relationships between numbers. For example, the rhyme "one, two, three, four, five, once I catch you, you're alive" helps children to understand that the number five is one more than the number four.
