Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Learning Activities

“Good morning class!”

“Before we start our class, let us pray first. Can somebody please lead the prayer?”

(Checking of Attendance) “Please say present.”

“Please pick up the pieces of paper under your chair.”

“So how was your weekend?”

“That’s good. Have you enjoyed your weekend bonding with your family?”

“That’s good to know. For this morning, our discussion will be in relation to a family. Do you know this dinosaur?”

“Very good. Are you familiar with Barney’s I Love You song?”

“Okay, that’s wonderful. Are you ready to sing and have fun today?”

“Good morning Miss _______!”

(One student will lead the prayer)

(Students will raise their hand and say present as the teacher calls in their name)

(Students pick up the pieces of paper.)

“It was great Miss!

“Of course Miss! It was a lot of fun!”

“Yes Ma’am. That is Barney, the purple dinosaur.”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“Let us sing Barney’s I Love You song.”

“Okay class, what can you say about the song? Does it tell us something important that we have already forgotten to do nowadays?”

“How could you say so Josua?”

“That was a very good explanation Josua. You know what class, the song simply tells us something that we should always consider to keep our family or relationship with others intact, sometimes showing affection/love towards a person makes him/her feel that he is appreciated and there will be feeling of belongingness and love.”

“What else have you noticed which made you conclude that the song is all about love?”

“Thank you. Everybody has sung very well, it’s now time to improve your pronunciation.”

“Very good.”

B. Lesson Proper

(Students sing)

“I love you, you love me, and we’re a happy family’With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you,Hope you say you love me too.”

“Sir, even though the song is very short, I guess it is full of emotions.”

“Because I have noticed Ma’am that the song has a lot to do with our love for our family, that the real meaning of family is all about loving each other, and nowadays kissing and hugging our parents or family members are not being practiced anymore.”

“Because there are many descriptive words in the song. The most obvious one is “I LOVE YOU.”

(The children read the words)

Motivation“What do you see in pictures A and B?”

“What do you think the children are doing in the picture?”

“When was the last time that you have given a gift to your mother?

“Aside from giving material gifts, how else do you show your love for your mother?”

Discussion“Let us read a poem and let us find out how the children showed their love for their mother.”

Which Loved BestBy Joy Allison

"I love you Mother," said little John; Then forgetting his work, his cap went on. And he was off to the garden swing, And left her the water and wood to bring. 

"I love you Mother," said rosy Nell, "I love you more than tongue can tell." Then she teased and pouted full half the day. Till her mother was glad when she went to play. 

"I love you Mother," said little Fan, "Today I'll help you all I can; How glad I am that school doesn't keep!" And she rocked the babe till he fell asleep. 

Then stepping softly, she fetched the broom, And swept the floor, and dusted the room. Busy and happy all day was she; Helpful and happy as a child could be. 

"I love you Mother," again they said, Three little children going to bed. How do you think their mother guessedWhich of them really loved her best?

“After reading the poem, let us now answer these questions:

“Who first to say I love you Mother?”

“What happened to John after?”

“Ma’am picture A is a picture of a Mother and picture B is a picture of three children.”

“The boy was playing in the swing. The middle child is going to play outside while the last child is doing household chores.”

“On her birthday.”

“By kissing and hugging her.”

(Students listen first then read the poem together)

garden swing.”

“Mother.”

“Rosy Nell.”

“She teased and pouted.”

“Mother.”

“Little Fan.”

“She rocked the baby to sleep. She swept the floor and dusted the room. She was busy helping in the house all day.”

“Little Fan.”

“Because little fan did not just say she loves Mother, but she showed it by helping Mother in the household chores.”

“We can show our love for our parents by not just saying I love you, giving gifts, kissing, or hugging them, but as well as helping them in the household chores so that they will be able to take some rest.”

“A girl sweeping the floor.”

“Fan was happy.”

“She was happy.”

“Because she was sweeping the floor.”

“And that’s what we call the Cause-and-Effect relationship.”

Generalization“A cause and effect relationship described something that happens and why it happens.”

“What happens is called the effect, and why it happens is called the cause.”

“The cause is usually introduced by the connective because.”

V. AssignmentIdentify CAUSE-AND-EFFECT RELATIONSHIP. Read the short fable. Underline the CAUSE and encircle the EFFECT.

Once a farmer went to the nest of his goose and found there an egg, all yellow and shiny. When he picked it up, it was heavy as a rock. He was about to throw it away because he thought that someone was playing a trick on him. But on second thought, he took it home, and discovered to his delight that it was an egg of pure gold!

He sold the egg for a handsome sum of money. Every morning the goose laid another golden egg, and the farmer soon became rich by selling the eggs.

As he grew rich, he also grew greedy. “Why should I have to wait to get only one egg a day?” he thought. “I will cut open the goose and take all the eggs out of her at once.”

When the goose heard the farmer’s plan, she flew away to a nearby farm. So when the farmer came out the next day, do you know what he found in the goose’s nest? Nothing.
