ALASKA ACADEMY: DISCOVERING THE FOUR MAGICAL SEASONS

“Aiming to transform the ‘Seasons of the Year’ lesson into an exciting experiential journey—where students awaken all their senses to actively explore knowledge—Ms. Đào Thúy Thư led her Alaskids through three thrilling, back-to-back challenge stations:”

“Find” Station: Teams raced against time to hunt for images representing Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.

“Touch” Station: Curious little hands explored the “Secret Box,” identifying seasonal objects by touch to guess the characteristics of each season.

“Listen” Station: Students listened to the sounds of chirping cicadas, whistling winds, or crackling firecrackers to name the corresponding time of year.

Beyond observing and listening, the children used tablets to design their own mind maps on the Classkick app. By dragging images and creating their own keywords, they organized their knowledge scientifically, making it both easy to remember and visually vivid.

The “Find, Touch, Listen, and Observe” journey concluded with a lively “live broadcast” by two junior reporters, Trung Bách and Việt Hà, amidst enthusiastic cheers from their classmates.

Our Alaskids have now realized that the unique weather and scenery are what make each season beautiful. By understanding the nature of the seasons and learning to choose appropriate clothing and activities, every season becomes a magical adventure filled with wonder!
