THE SSIS HERALD: Math and Science Fun!

One unique feature of SSIS’s Early Childhood Education Department is the Kinesthetic Intelligence Program (K.I.P.) for Nursery up to Senior Prep. This activity will enable them to make use of their analytic and cognitive skills as they get to engage in different learning competencies prepared for them.

Last September 21, 2012, our preschoolers had a tiring but fun filled day as they committed themselves to our K.I.P. that coincided with the Math and Science week! Four stations were prepared to test the children’s knowledge, skills and psychomotor developments. Focusing on Math and Science, each station has its own category that follows:

1.Family on the Run! A station wherein the class of a certain level will be divided into 2 groups and would race who would get to finish first. They have to identify who is the member being described by wearing the correct perceived clothes, BUT, before they do wear the clothes; they have to pass through the obstacle course first. J

2. Help Save the School! The school is in disarray because the school personnel are not in their correct offices! A station wherein they have to match the school personnel to its office by hitting the picture (of the correct office) attached in a web and match and paste it with its corresponding person. J

3. Match Me! A station wherein the children would match the number of objects in a set to its correct numeral with the use of a yarn. Before they can do this, they have to finish a pack of mini nips and conquer the obstacle course. J

4.Reach me, quick! A station wherein the divided group of 2 would race in arranging number from 1-10 (N/K), 1-20 (JP/SP). Color coded number cards were scattered in the classroom and they will have to get it (according to their assigned color) and arrange it in an ascending order. J

Shrieks and screams echoed in the lower corridor as preschoolers rushed to finish each task, and raced towards the finish line. Words of encouragement and cheers boomed each station as these children excitedly engages in each activity they have to do. All throughout the activity, their laughter answers how much did they enjoy the activity, more so, when the teachers handed them their rewards for actively participating in the K.I.P. J

It is really rewarding to know that each drop of hard work was deeply appreciated by these kids who found bliss and contentment even in little things. Having to see them enjoy and learn makes us to strive more and do more for the next K.I.P that we are going to have. J
