DAILY LESSON PLANS IN ENGLISH
SEPTEMBER
FIRST YEAR
FIRST WEEK
Show the children a sunflower. What is it? Who can think of another flower of the same color? Who can think of a flower that is blue? Who can think of a flower that is red? Have each child name some flower that he likes.
Allow the children to play "Hey, diddle, diddle." One child is the cat, another the fiddle, a third the dish, others the spoon, the little dog, the cow and the moon. All the rest of the children repeat, very slowly:
Hey, diddle, diddle, The cat and the fiddle.
As the two lines are being recited, the children representing the cat and the fiddle stand up at their seats and bow. As the words,
The cow jumped over the moon,
are recited, the child representing the moon, stooping down, holds out a round piece of pasteboard, a piece of paper, or anything else that happens to be handy, even a book will serve, and the "cow," steps or jumps over it.
At the words,
The little dog laughed to see such sport,
the little dog laughs. At
The dish ran away with the spoon,
the two children representing dish and spoon take hold of hands and run across the room.
Then other children may be selected for the various parts, and the game may be played thus again and again.
Have the children practise writing their names, and if possible, their home addresses.
What kind of a day is it, sunny or stormy? What color is sunshine? Point to the sun. What color are storm clouds? How does the rain come down? What does the sunshine do for the trees and flowers? What does the rain do for the trees and flowers? What does the rain do for us?
Have the children name all the objects they can see in the school-room.
SECOND WEEK
How many children had their faces washed before coming to school this morning? How many had their hair combed? Have each child tell who combed his hair, whether mother, nurse, or the child himself. Talk about the necessity of cleanliness, and why every child must come to school looking clean and tidy.
Write the name of the day of the week on the blackboard, and have the children practice writing it.
Ask each child to stand up at his seat and recite a "Mother Goose" rhyme.
Show the children a flag. What is it? What are the three colors of the flag? Have the children count the red stripes; the white stripes. What is the color of the stars?
THIRD WEEK
Show the children a red apple and a green, or a yellow apple. What are the colors of the two apples? What shape? Where is the stem? Where is the skin? What is there inside the skin? Cut one of the apples open. How many seeds has it?
Have each child tell his father's or his mother's first name.
Have the children practise writing the date.
Have each child tell something that he can see out of the school-room window. Write the word given by each child on paper and let him practise writing it.
Let the children dramatize, with a little suggestive help, "Old King Cole."
FOURTH WEEK
What day of the week is this? How many days are there in a week? Who can name them? What is done in your home on Monday? On Tuesday? On Wednesday? Thursday? Friday? Saturday? Sunday?
Have the children play the game, "This is the way we wash our clothes."
Practise writing the day of the week.
Have the children tell what they had for breakfast.
SECOND YEAR
FIRST WEEK
Tell, or read, the following story, the children to guess what animal is referred to.
Look what a small, shy thing I am! Do not frighten me, and I will tell you all about myself. It is quite true that I come and nibble your cheese and candles now and then. But if you will keep such nice things stored away in heaps, how can I help longing for a taste? The smell of your puddings and pie-crust is so nice! How should I know that it belongs to you and not to me?
Please do not tell the cat where I am, or she will come and eat me up. I do not like cats a bit. But there is something that I hate more than cats, and that is the horrid traps you set to catch us in. When one of my friends finds himself inside of one of these, you do not know how badly he feels! How would you like it yourself?
We do some good in the world, though people fancy we do nothing but harm. Men and women throw about bits or scraps of food enough to give us many a nice meal. We run out and eat this, and leave the floor clean and tidy.
Have the children tell, in their own words, the story of "The Mouse."
Copy the following:
A mouse has gray fur. A mouse has bright eyes.
Have each child tell about some animal, the other children to guess the animal meant. For example:
I have four legs. I have fur. When I am hungry I say, "Miow." When I am happy I purr. What am I?
If you find it to be too difficult for the children to give the descriptions, you can describe the animals, and let all the children guess what you are describing.
