We are Queens and We are Kings!


When teaching class one about the letters "Q" and "K," we embarked on a magical adventure filled with music, movement and song. We learned about the differences between boys and girls, like how we say "she is a queen," and "he is a king." We listened to stories about famous Nepali queens and kings, sang songs, and learned new rhymes (like the one in the video below). Of course, we made crowns in which students practiced writing their names (a big learning goal for all class one students) and created golden rings out of post-it notes. Nothing beats the genuine enthusiasm of Shree Gorkhkali Primary School's youngest learners!

Q for "Queen"



In the video above, students use their bodies to mimic the shape of "K" and "Q" in the kinesthetic movements. The rhyme and rhythm of the chat is helping build their phonemic awareness and speaking fluency.
