Dear Parents,
Circle Time

Unit of Inquiry
How we express ourselves unit- Read aloud of “Elephants never forget†by Anushka Ravishankar.
Sharing the planet unit- Read aloud of “The Lorax†by Dr.Seuss. After the read aloud, the teacher made a human figure to note down our needs, wants and greed.
The Learners also conducted a waste audit of their class. They recorded the data for the whole week and wrote the same in their UOI notebooks. The chart of the waste audit was displayed in the class to understand how much waste we make as a class. Later, the students also understood that we should try to reduce making waste.
Language
Introduced new sight words and ‘th’ blend.
Learners also recited the poem with their teacher from Empowering English “The cow jumped over the moon†.
