We are proud to be the first and only accredited Montessori school on the Outschool platform, featuring certified teachers who bring their expertise from our brick-and-mortar school located in Ontario, Canada. This Vocabulary class includes learning about antonyms and synonyms, question words, and multiple meaning words, focussing is on introducing students to foundational language concepts in an engaging and developmentally appropriate manner. The class aims to lay a strong foundation for language development by introducing students to essential concepts like antonyms, synonyms, question words, and multiple meaning words in an interactive and supportive learning environment. Through engaging activities and positive reinforcement, students will build confidence in their language skills and will develop a deeper understanding of how words work. Topics covered include: - Antonyms and Synonyms: Introduction to words that have opposite meanings (antonyms) and words that have similar meanings (synonyms). - Question Words: Learning basic question words such as "who," "what," "where," "when," and "why" to form simple questions. - Multiple Meaning Words: Understanding that some words have more than one meaning depending on context or usage. - Identifying and recognizing antonyms and synonyms through examples and activities. - Exploring how question words help in asking and understanding questions about people, places, and events. - Discovering multiple meanings of words and how context provides clues to their meanings. Class Structure: The class is structured to be interactive and hands-on, incorporating a variety of activities to engage students. This includes interactive discussions where students participate in conversations about antonyms, synonyms, question words, and multiple meaning words. They engage in games and activities such as matching antonyms and synonyms, creating questions using question words, and exploring different meanings of words through context. Visual aids like pictures, charts, and posters are used to illustrate concepts and reinforce learning. Additionally, storytelling involves reading stories that incorporate examples of antonyms, synonyms, question words, and multiple meaning words. To teach these concepts, I will use modeling and demonstration to show students how to identify antonyms and synonyms, formulate questions using question words, and understand multiple meaning words. Hands-on activities will engage students in manipulating words, creating sentences, and participating in group discussions. Additionally, repetition and reinforcement will be used, reviewing concepts regularly through games and interactive exercises to ensure understanding. My teaching style is nurturing and supportive, fostering a positive learning environment where students feel encouraged to explore and express their ideas. Learners will have ample opportunities to interact with me and peers through various activities such as, discussions and conversations, interactive games and activities, or through visual aids.
