### Lesson Procedure:
#### **Introduction (10 minutes):**
1. **Greetings and Introduction:**
- Welcome the students and tell them that today they will learn about living things, basic computer operations, and how different body parts move.
2. **Warm-Up Activity:**
- Start with a short song or a rhyme related to the body parts (e.g., “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes”).
#### **Part 1: Living Things (25 minutes)**
1. **Discussion and Identification:**
- Show flashcards of various objects (e.g., cat, rock, tree, car).
- Ask students to identify which ones are living and which are non-living.
2. **Characteristics of Living Things:**
- Explain that living things grow, eat, move, and reproduce.
- Use simple words and examples they can relate to, like pets or plants.
3. **Interactive Activity:**
- Organize a sorting game where students classify pictures into living and non-living things.
- Give each student a chance to participate and provide small rewards for correct answers.
#### **Part 2: Basic Computer Operations (25 minutes)**
1. **Introduction to Computers:**
- Show a computer or a tablet to the students.
- Explain its basic parts: monitor, keyboard, mouse, and CPU.
2. **Hands-On Activity:**
- Demonstrate how to turn on and off the computer safely.
- Let each student practice turning on and off the computer under supervision.
3. **Basic Operations:**
- Show how to use the mouse to click and drag.
- Use a children’s educational software or a simple game for practice.
#### **Part 3: Movement of Body Parts (25 minutes)**
1. **Discussion and Demonstration:**
- Explain that different body parts have different movements and functions.
- Use a chart or picture to point out parts like arms, legs, hands, and feet.
2. **Interactive Movement Game:**
- Organize a “Simon Says” game focusing on movements (e.g., Simon says touch your toes, Simon says clap your hands).
3. **Movement Song:**
- Sing a song that encourages movements like bending, stretching, jumping, and dancing.
- Encourage students to follow along and mimic the actions.
#### **Closure and Review (5 minutes):**
1. **Review the Key Points:**
- Ask questions to review what they have learned about living things, computers, and body parts.
2. **Feedback:**
- Allow students to share what they enjoyed the most.
3. **Homework Assignment:**
- Give students a simple worksheet to color different living things, label basic computer parts, and match body parts with their movements.
### Assessment:
- Observe students during activities to gauge understanding and participation.
- Check the sorting game results and the hands-on computer activities.
- Assess the homework assignment for comprehension of concepts.
### Additional Notes:
- Ensure all students are actively participating and provide support where needed.
- Use praise and positive reinforcement to motivate and encourage students.
### Follow-Up:
- Revisit the topics in future lessons to reinforce learning.
- Incorporate more advanced computer skills and bodily movements in the next classes.
