WHEN CLASSROOMS ARE NOT JUST DESKS AND CHAIRS BUT ALSO FLOWER GARDENS

When the youngest students of Hanoi Toronto School go to school, the school becomes a vast land for them to explore. But would you like to know what the unique learning formula of these little ones is?

Ingredients:
2 teachers
1 classroom
2 rows of students lined up
1 (or a few) tightly held hands!

Learning Formula:
Step 1: The little ones put on their shoes and line up as instructed by the teachers.
Step 2: Each row follows the other up to the school’s 4th-floor flower garden.
Step 3: The students “chase” objects with the vowel sounds they learned in today’s lesson, such as “a”-“ă” like “hoa (flower), nắng (sun), lá (leaf), da (skin), trắng (white), vàng (yellow), củ su hào (carrot), rau cải (vegetables), mặt trời (sun), mắt (eye), …”
Step 4: The students exchange with each other the objects they found to increase each other’s lists.
Step 5: The teachers command to line up and the students quickly follow!
Step 6: We move together to the song “Trời nắng, trời mưa” (Sunshine, Rain), practicing vowel sounds while engaging in physical activity.
Final step: Each student recounts the sounds they found in objects today. After completing the exploration task of the day’s lesson, the students line up together to return to their “kingdom” while singing the song they learned.

This exclusive “formula” is flexibly applied by Ms. Hà Vũ and Ms. Cúc Bùi in Vietnamese language classes. Previously, we thought spelling was difficult, but in the classroom, these little ones are so joyful!
