Kids we are going to do some art and craft. We all love that isn’t it . Remember what I told you earlier.
The important thing that the letter R teaches you…..
The 3 words…
REDUCE….use only as much as you need ,don’t waste. eg take only half a bottle of water to school ,so you save water. Switch of the light when not in the room.
REUSE……Try and use old things ,don’t just throw them away.eg Use old paper and boxes to do craft instead of buying new chart paper.
RECYCLE…..Your old stuff can be passed on to someone to reuse, or you can make something else out of it and use it.eg—-give your old clothes to someone needy—or cut them and stich them into floor mats ,may be your pet can use it.
Today you will learn to draw yourself using old chart paper and ice -cream sticks..Follow the instructions —–
Pearls of Wisdom.
…Remember the 3R’s Reduce ,Reuse ,Recycle and Remake.
Self Esteem is the way we think and feel about ourselves.Self esteem shapes our lives and is important for everyone,both young and old.As parents it is important to help build up our child’s self esteem.Family and Home are two greatest influences to help children at all ages to build up a High Self Esteem.I read a beautiful poem….
I Am Glad to be Me
The author is unknown to me:
I look in the mirror
And what do I see?
I see the ME,
No one else can be.
I am Precious.
I am glad to be ME.
MY hair,my face.
My personality.
My size,my shape.
The colour of my skin.
All make up me
Outside and in.
I Am Glad to be me.
MY PEARLS OF WISDOM……
My Recipe for Self Esteem
1…I will always be …Proud to be me.
2…I Believe in myself.
3…I will love myself first.
4…I am important.
5…I am Happy with all of ME.
Kids lets have a little fun.You enjoy colouring and sticking right? (Art and Craft)
Here’s a chart which says “All About Me”
You can print it out. Then you can draw, colour, paint or stick ,following the instructions.
When you have finished stick it on your board.Remember You are the Best.Always be Proud of Yourself. Now this doesn’t mean you look down on others.Be happy for what others can do.Everyone is good at something.
This is the age of the internet and so book reading is slowly vanishing.Read my earlier post on ‘Story Telling’ and you will know the importance of books.Reading gives you a feel that the internet cannot do .When you read you transport yourself into a fantasy world. .Make it a habit to read or look at a book at least once a day.
What is a Book Mark? Well its a piece of paper or anything else like an ice-cream stick or ribbon which you put in between the page of a book that you are reading.When you want to start reading again the book mark will take you straight away to the page you had stopped on.
They can be used for you school text books and exercise books.
A well kept book shows your respect for your teacher.
Book marks are easy to make.remember the 3 R’s reduce,Reuse and Recycle.Any waste material can be used to make a book mark
The images are from google.I have made each one of them with my little students.Here is something I would like to share ,I don’t know how to post the bookmarks i have made so I use images from google.
One thing you must always remember never ever feel small in telling someone that you can’t do something or you have’nt heard of somehing.
.It’s not nice to be a -Know all Person- all the time..Learning never stops whatever your age You can learn from anyone ,older or younger.
Be honest to yourself.
Remember:- PEARLS OF WISDOM
..To have an adult when you make them to avoid accidents.
..Care and share with your friends….you will enjoy more and get better ideas.
..Be responsible.Clear the space putting things back in their place and throw the left overs in the ..dry bin..(garbage segregation)
..If you gift a book to someone you can give a Book Mark as well -one that you have made yourself. A book mark will keep away.. dog ears ..that means you don’t fold the right corner of the page to mark where you have stopped.
Here are some book marks you can make using old material:-
. Book mark made of old ,used chart paper or thin card board got from boxes eg choco box or toothpaste box.
….Material needed: Scissors,Old chart or card board,Glue,Ribbon.Punch and bits of coloured paper small beads .news paper any tit bits at home.
….Cut chart/card board into a rectangle 1 1/2 inch (width)and 6 inch length.
….Punch a whole on one side and pass a 4 inch ribbon. Thread a bead on each end and tie a knot.Tie a knot with the two ends as well.
….Put glue on the rectangle and stick the coloured paper randomly,and let it dry.
….Cover the book mark with plastic or you can ask mum to get it laminated.
….You can cut flowers ,different shapes or pictures from old books… stick them instead of pieces of paper …to decorate the book mark
…News paper covered Book marks.
……Here you follow the same method.The book mark can be cut in any shape, on one side.
…..Instead of sticking colourful paper and shapes the whole book mark is covered with news paper.you can use news paper with pictures of ads to make it more interesting….
…..Laminate or cover with plastic .This way the book mark does’nt tare.
You can decorate ice- cream sticks …just plain colouring with designs,stick flowers or make animal heads and paste on one side as show in the picture
Here are some more pictures .Children you be as creative as you like. Use butterfly cut out the sun,moon or stars
Enjoy making your book marks. You can gift your hand made bookmark to just anyone.
