ENGLISH I've always loved the first day of school better than the last day of the school. Firsts are best because they are beginnings. -Jenny Han Literature Students of grade II had an engaging and productive time during their Unit on 'Little Red Riding Hood' and their exploration of grammar concepts. In the Unit related to 'Little Red Riding Hood,' the students focused on reading, comprehension, glossary, and writing skills. The medium of storytelling was used to help students understand different story elements- Beginning, Middle and End of the story. Additionally, they learned to write one of the elements of the story by themselves. Through a Design Thinking task, the students were encouraged to think innovatively and design something to help the main character, Little Red Riding Hood, find a solution to the problem in the story. The students came up with creative ideas like a mud house for Little Red Riding Hood, For the story 'Thirsty Crow' the recycle pot and pebbles were used, the story of 'Rapunzel' was depicted, her long hair was made with the help of wool and the stairs were made out of cardboard and so on.. They even put their ideas into action by creating the first draft of their designs. A "Bagless Day" was held, and the youngsters were invited to make the paper basket that Little Red Riding Hood loved so much. They eagerly embellished their baskets. Grammar Homophones can be a tricky concept for students to grasp, as they involve words that sound the same but have different meanings and different spellings. The interactive nature made the learning experience enjoyable and memorable. Moreover, they were introduced to tips and tricks for adding endings such as -ing, -er, and -ed to words, which likely helped them improve their understanding of grammar rules. Further, recap of articles was done by having students pick up objects and identify them, that incorporated a tactile element into the learning process. This kinesthetic approach can enhance memory and understanding. Linking the object identification to selecting the appropriate article for the word is a clever way to review articles while connecting it to real-life objects. This activity encourages critical thinking and reinforces the correct use of articles in sentences. Overall, it sounds like the students had an enriching and enjoyable learning experience, incorporating storytelling, creativity, and hands-on activities to enhance their reading, comprehension, writing, and grammar skills.
