Abstract:
Learning activities are recommended in all grade levels to facilitate the learning and teaching process. Children in the preschool and elementary stages learn most through activities where all
their senses are engaged. These activities are major components of each school day in the preschool stage. However, they decrease gradually when students pass from KG2 to grade one,
where these activities are substituted by drill and practice worksheets. The following work
presents a kit that consists of a variety of learning activities for grade one that will bridge the gap
that exists between KG2 and grade one. This kit will offer a series of different learning activities of grade one school subjects and is designed on the basis of the Lebanese academic year which consists of three trimesters. The kit will be divided into three parts each one will be reflecting a
trimester and consists of a series of interrelated activities for grade one subject matters: English
language Arts, Mathematics, Music, and Art. When grade one teachers resort to this kit, first
graders will feel more comfortable in their class, especially that they will be doing activities they
used to enjoy a lot during the preschool period, and at the sarne time they will be learning away
from the drill and practice worksheets and practice books.
