Student’s Activity
“Good Morning Class...”

“Let us pray first...”
(One Student will lead the Prayer)
(Checking of Attendance)
...say present...
(Students raise their hand and say

name)
“Please pick up the pieces of paper
under your chair”
(Students pick up the pieces of paper)
“So how was your weekend?”
“That’s good! Have you enjoyed your
weekend bonding with your family?”
“That’s good to know. For this
morning, our discussion will be in
relation to a family. Are you familiar
with Barney’s I Love You Song?”
“It was great sir!”
“Of course sir! It was a lot of fun!”
“Yes sir! We love purple-colored
dinosaur!”
“Okay that’s good, so are you
ready to sing and have fun today?
“Yes”
Warm Up
Let us sing Barney’s I Love You Song.
(Students Sing)
“I love you, you love me and we’re a happy family,
With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you,
Hope you say you love me too.”
“Okay now class, What can you say about
the song? Does it tell us something
important that we have already forgotten to
do nowadays?”
“How could you say so John?”
“Sir, eventhough the song is very short, but I
guess it’s full of emotions.”
“Because sir I noticed that the song has a lot
to do with our love for our family, that the
real meaning of family is all about loving
each other, and nowadays kissing and
hugging our parents or family members are
not being practiced anymore.”
“That was a very good explanation
John, you know what class the song simply
tells us something that we should always
consider for us to keep our family or
relationship with others intact, sometimes
showing affection/love towards a person
makes him feel that he is appreciated and
there will be feeling of belonginess and love.
“What else have you noticed which
made you conclude that the song is all about
love?”
“Because sir, there are so many descriptive
words in the song, the most obvious one is “I
LOVE YOU.”
“Everybody had just sung very well, it’s now
time to improve your pronunciation more...”

Motivation
“What do you see in pictures A and B?”
“Sir, Picture A is a picture of a Mother and
Picture B is a picture of a Cake.”
“On her last birthday.”
“When was the last time you gave a gift to
your mother?”
“Why do you think there is a cake? What do
you think is the celebration?”
“It is mother’s birthday.”
“By kissing and hugging her.”
“Aside from giving material gifts, how else
do you show your love for your mother?”
Discussion
Let us read a poem and let us find out how
the children showed their love for their
mother.
Who Loves Mother Best?
“Oh happy birthday, Mama dear.”
Sang Ben, Liz and Bess with cheer
“We love you much, we love you true.”
They kissed their mother, hugged her too.
Then quickly Ben skipped out to play
And went with playmates all the day.
Then rushed home in time to see
His sister Liz aglow with glee.
For Liz held up an ice cream cone,
Enjoying it, she sat alone.
Ben grabbed the cone, and slipped away,
So Liz cried out, “For that you’ll pay!”
Like cats and dogs the two did struggle
Each making sure to win the battle.
They tried to push and then to pull,
While Mama almost lost her cool.
But little Bess with Mom she stayed,
She set the table, drinks she laid.
And helped to serve Mom’s friends and
guests
Now tell me, who loves Mother best?
After reading the poem, let us now answer
these questions:
“Why did Bess, Ben, and Liz kiss and hug their
Mother?”
“Because it is their Mother’s Birthday.”
“Why was Liz aglow with glee?”
“Liz was aglow a glee because she was
eating a cone of ice cream.”
“What made Liz cry out, “For that you’ll
pay?”
“Liz cried out because Ben grabbed the
cone then slipped away.”
“Why did Mother almost lost her cool?”
“Because Ben and Liz struggled.”
“Who among the three children loved their
Mother best? How did he/she show it?
“Bess, because she helped mother to serve
the guests.”
“What is the best way to show your love for
your parents?” Explain.
“The best way to show my love for my
parents is by...”
Analysis
(Show picture of a girl eating an ice cream)
“What do you see on the picture?”
“What happened to Liz when she was eating
a cone of ice cream?”
Liz was aglow with glee, answers what
happens to Liz when she eats a cone of ice
cream. This is called the effect.
Look again at the picture,
“What do you notice on Liz’s face?”
“A girl is eating a cone of ice cream.”
“Liz was happy (aglow with glee)”
“Liz was happy (aglow with glee)”
“Why was Liz aglow with glee?”
Because she was eating a cone of ice
cream, answers why Liz was aglow with
glee. This is called the cause.
And that’s what we call the Cause-and-effect
relationship.
Generalization
“A cause and effect relationship describes
something that happens and why it
happens.”
“What happens is called the effect; and why
it happens is called the cause.”
“The cause is usually introduced by the
connective because.”

situations from the poem.

cream.”

Assignment
Identifying CAUSE-AND-EFFECT RELATIONSHIP.
Read the short fable. Underline the CAUSE and Encircle the EFFECT.
A fox said to a crow with a piece of cheese between its beak, “If you can sing as
prettily as you sit, then you are the prettiest singer.”
The fox thought that once the crow starts to sing, the cheese would drop from
her beak. But the crow carefully removed the cheese from the claws on one foot
and said, “they say you are sly, but you cannot fool me”. Not giving up, the fox
continued to praise the crow. “I wish I could hear you tell about your talents but I
have to go look for food because I’m hungry”.
