Self-management is our ability to manage our behaviors, thoughts, and emotions in a conscious and productive way. Someone with strong self-management skills knows what to do and how to act in different situations.
Self-management skills can be developed in children as young as preschoolers. They can be used to teach children to pay attention to their own behavior and to complete activities or engage in interactions using appropriate behavior. Self-management can help children use appropriate play and social interaction skills, participate in classroom routines, and engage in instructional activities. Self-management can be used to teach children what is expected of them, such as tasks they are supposed to do. Self-management procedures can help children keep track of whether or not they completed their tasks. Children can learn to monitor their own behavior and control their own actions through using self-management techniques.

A student who won’t cooperate in the classroom might seem like the poster child for poor self-regulation. But give him his favorite set of Legos or a beloved video game, and he’s all focus, persistence, and drive. They need to find enjoyment in the things they are asked to do, and that’s where they need our help. Kids benefit when we remove temptations and distractions, and create environments that reward self-restraint.

Giving kids a break can help them re-charge, and it’s also a good way to learn. Studies suggest that kids learn faster when lessons are shorter and separated by some downtime.

The fun and magic activity on letter I was conducted with our little learners, where they had to draw print letter I with the help of white crayon or wax saying one standing and 2 sleeping lines (top and bottom) makes letter I. It was not visible to the learners as it was written with a white crayon. However, once they painted blue water colour on it suddenly they saw the magic, the letter I was clearly visible now. They were super excited to see their final presentation.

We conducted an Engagement for our little learners where they were introduced to count number- 2 with any two objects. They would love to count their favourite toys, crayons,cookies so that they clearly understood the concept number 2 with its value.They were asked to trace number 2 on different mediums by using their pointer finger. They had to form number 2 by using pulses such as green peas, kidney beans, and peanuts. They placed pulses in the form of number 2 and made 2 coloured clay balls as its value. Our learners thoroughly enjoyed forming number 2 through different mediums and made 2 clay balls which looked so colourful.

Painting and colouring is an effective way to build fine motor skills, because it requires your toddler to use a pincher grasp to hold the paintbrush. It also encourages them to move their hand, wrist and arm to create an image on the paper. Dipping the paintbrush into the paint also enhances fine motor skills.

Math - senior kg - Make a Square Robot of Paper
The world around us is made of different shapes. Understanding that we have special shapes we name and that they are in our everyday lives is important. Recognizing and understanding shapes is a partner to learning to count. When we teach learners shapes, we help to lay a foundation for basic math skills. Creating art with shapes is one of the best play way methods to teach learners about shapes. We conducted an activity for our Senior KG learners which was “MAKE A ROBOT” of square shape. For this activity learners had to make square shape cutouts of medium and small sizes. Later, they first had to stick the medium square cutout at the centre of the paper for face. Then they had to stick small square shape cutouts for its hands and legs at some distance. Later, they were asked to join the hands and legs by drawing two lines with green color crayon and then makes its features with black sketch pen or marker pen. Learning shapes for kids can help the learner develop many essential skills, including math, vocabulary, and problem-solving. Understanding the basics of different shapes and the number of sides of each from an early age can help the learner grasp other geometric concepts as they get older. These are the key elements to setting the learners up for success on their learning journey.
