It’s impossible to overestimate the role that parents can play in their
children’s education. In addition to being their children’s first teacher,
parents are also their children’s teachers year after year. While a
student moves from class to class, parents and families stay the same. In
fact, nobody else knows your children and the struggles they face from
year to year better than you do. That consistency is one reason why
parents are so vital to their children’s education. Most importantly it’s the
reason parents must maintain a learning environment at home over the
summer.
In term 1 we had a roller coaster ride with the settling time, celebration
sessions, colour days, completing portions etc. even though we had a short
amount of time in this term, we were able to cover a lot of concepts and
real life application activities for our children. We have worked on
procedures and routines to enable our children to follow instructions and
make their learning child initiated rather than a teacher led one. We have
helped them to explore the various elements of our curriculum in a quick,
hands on, fun filled and simple style. Which has helped them to develop

Recap of what we done in school and a little more will help your children
go more further with their reading skills.
Buy story books (level 1) and read it regularly. Parents please make
habit to read at bedtime for children and you will see how their tiny
imagination grow bigger and brighter.
Children must develop love for books from a very young age. Therefore, to
inculcate the habit of reading among our little ones, we request our
parents to buy “Read it yourself with Ladybird Series Level 1”.
So, go ahead, spend constructive, creative and useful time with your child
and help him/her to explore the fun of reading.
The Sing & Spell intro to Sight Words helps children learn sight words in
a multisensory way. Simultaneous multi-sensory teaching is the
engagement of multiple pathways in the brain at the same time in the
teaching process. The child should ideally see it, say it, hear it, and do it –
all at the same time. This method takes advantage of most children's
natural love of music, rhythm, and movement, as well as the mnemonic
mediator for which music is famous!

Forget the flashcards and number drills; if you want your child to love
numbers, show him/her how math’s is a part of everyday life and they will
be eager to learn more and more.
Giving children chances to perform individually and allowing them to take
the lead role helps them to be responsible for their actions. Like water
the plants, measuring in the kitchen, throwing the garbage how many
steps to the place and back and allow them to compare the steps to
somewhere else, how of money paid at the grocery, how much change we
received back, questions like what will happen it I will not pay??
What will happen next?? How can I make more etc.
Here are some fun ways to learn maths. Because children learn in
different ways, they're arranged by learning style. There are different
types of learners –Visual learners, Physical learners and auditory learners.
Connect the dots. This old standby will help your child understand
number sequencing.
Make a phone call. Write the phone number of a friend or relative down
on a piece of paper. Have your child dial the number to give him practice
reading numbers left to right.
Count everything around you. Count people standing in line, the number
of steps to the library, the cracks in the sidewalk.
*For the physical learner
Count and sort household items. Mix up the knives, forks, and spoons
from the silverware drawer and have your child group them by type and
count how many there are in each group.
Make a recipe with your child. Give your child the measuring cups and
bowls and let him measure out the ingredients while you read the
directions out loud. An easy and delicious way to introduce concepts such
as volume and weight.
Introduce them to zero the hero and his friends (number names ten,
twenty, thirty, forty, fifty ,sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety and hundred)
and revise the concept of tens and ones which is very important to
understand place value of tens and ones in numbers.
Procedure :- Use a Square Line note book and practice daily writing
numbers 1-50 ( each day that is first day write 1-10 on the second day
write number name 1 – one on the third day number 11-20 then
number name 2- two and so on and then follow this pattern on ) make
sure every writing is done in cursive.
After they are well-versed with numbers 1-50 you must proceed further
60-70, 70-80 and so on till 100. In KG II we will be completing numbers up
to 100 in all forms like before / after/ in-between, backward and forward
counting, and all operations are done with the basis of number bonds.
Provide lots of visual flash cards to see the number, touch, feel see the
quantity objects and so on. Forward and backward counting, comparing the
quantities and think and say the answer .

Ascending Order:
When the numbers are arranged from the smallest to the largest number, those
numbers are said to be in an ascending order. (New Vocabulary)
Descending Order:
When the numbers are arranged from the largest to the smallest number,
those numbers are said to be in descending order. (New Vocabulary)
For example: explain to children big number to small number
Arrange the numbers in descending order from 23 to 17.
