Methodology / step-by-step instructions (as presented)

Morning opening

  • Greet: “teacher, boys and girls.”
  • Do a “window” routine to ask what the day/weather is like (sun/cloud).
  • Ask who is “with us today” (Mr. Sun and Mrs. Cloud).
  • Review the day:
    • remember yesterday (Thursday)
    • then sing “Little sun” to determine today
  • State the date: Friday, January 20, 2006.

Attendance and counting

  • Count boys (students stand).
  • Count girls.
  • Count all children together.
  • Write numbers (e.g., 10 for girls; 8 boys; 18 total).
  • Teacher records attendance by calling/collecting student names.

Behavior / participation rules

  • Sit correctly in chairs.
  • Be quiet to listen and observe.
  • Follow teacher instructions.
  • Avoid misbehavior such as fighting; learning/playing is allowed appropriately.

Lesson delivery (animals usefulness)

  • Teacher introduces materials on the table (animal-related prompts).
  • For each animal, teacher asks:
    • What does it eat?
    • What does it give/provide to humans?
  • Teacher posts/keeps the animal/product visuals for the matching later.
  • Students watch a video while instructed to:
    • keep arms crossed
    • pay close attention
    • use eyes/ears and “brains” to retain learning

Audio guessing game

  • Teacher plays sounds of animals.
  • Students guess the animal.
  • Students explain what benefits/products they get from it (cow, hen, pig; fish later via discussion).

Product matching exercise (worksheet)

  • Teacher distributes/uses a paper and pencil.
  • Students are instructed to hold the pencil correctly: two fingers resting and three working (as described).
  • Students match:
    • Cow ↔ milk and related products (teacher mentions milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, meat)
    • Fish ↔ tuna and/or fried fish
    • Hen ↔ egg/chicken meat
    • Pig ↔ bacon/ham/mortadella (and related meat products)
  • Students complete work; teacher verifies correctness.

Review and recap

  • Teacher confirms correct matches one-by-one.
  • Classroom summarizes:
    • cow provides milk
    • hen provides eggs/chicken
    • pig provides meat products
    • fish provides tuna/fried fish

Closing

  • Students sing goodbye songs.
  • Teacher says goodbye/hugs.
