Appreciating nature Teacher's page Story : Neha’s Alarm Clock This Unit focuses on appreciation of the beauty in nature, the magic of words and to give children experiences in expressing their feelings. This Unit is also a listening Unit – it gives children something to listen to as you read the poem to them. Ask children why they like the poem and read the poem again for interesting and beautiful sounds. Begin this Unit by pointing to the pictures and ask children what beautiful colours they see. Provide a print rich environment. Warm up It is important to do warm up exercises related to the theme, like, let children stretch their arms, exercise and jog as if to wake up wide. Relate this to the natural beauty of the morning. Reading time Read the chapter to the students at a stretch, giving the meanings of the new and difficult words so that they can understand the text. Use appropriate words, expressions, phrases in different situations. This can help you to assess the child’s ability to listen with attention for a reasonable length of time, share the main idea of the text and accelerate recall skills. Give the children a chance to read individually. Sharing time Involve the class in a group reading session. Let children add meaning with voice modulation and body gestures. Dramatise the play for the morning assembly. Let each child express what they feel when they have to get up in the morning. Team time l Play memory games. You can write down ten new words from the lesson on the blackboard. Let the children look at the words for two minutes. Ask the children to close their eyes. You can then erase one word. The children will then open their eyes and identify the word that has been erased. l Since breakfast is important for good health, each child could be asked what he had for breakfast. Then ask them to give the importance of milk, lassi, butter. Let them add what they eat / will like to eat. l Discuss the importance of time and punctuality with the class. While discussing other ways of finding time, the sun dial, shadows and position of sun can be introduced. Environment Create a Junior Green Brigade as a group of keen environmentalists who assist in keeping the school green and clean; they can be actively involved in successful projects against crackers and banning the use of polybags in the school and community. The school can encourage cloth bags which are an attractive and environment-friendly alternative to plastic. 16 2024-25
