You can observe here that the kids really wanted to learn new things about their surroundings.They 're trying to compare things from one to the other. In this situation the lesson broaden because they have many questions directly to the main topic. As a teacher goal has been met here because of their interactive reactions on the lesson we discussed. Realia is very helpful for them . Good job kids!
NOTE:
The realia is a potted cherry blossom . It's been three years now since we have the plant. That's one of our materials for observing one year seasons. Now, the season is Summer so the cherry blossom becomes green bearing all leaves.
