Anandi's  Rainbow

Enjoy this nature story

A girl, sitting on her bed with a cat is looking out of a window and she sees a rainbow, clouds and the Sun.


It was raining outside. Anandi was fast asleep

dreaming of rainbows. She woke up to look out

 of her window. There was a huge,  bright

rainbow across a clear blue sky.


Anandi ran out to the garden with Milli, her

favourite cat.


  A girl holding a painting brush in her hand, running towards a garden with her cat.

Anandi loved to draw and paint. Today, she  wanted to paint  the flowers  of her garden with the colours of the rainbow.

  She coloured one  flower with the violet, and another with the indigo of the rainbow.

 One with the blue and leaves with the green...

One with the orange...


There is a rainbow and the Sun in the sky and the girl is painting the flowers in the garden using a paint brush. The cat is also standing with the girl.

                                                                                     One with the red……..


But she left the  yellow so that the sun may look bright and gay …

And  lo ! There  were Beautiful flowers all over

the garden. The sun was up there shining in its yellow

glory.

The Sun is shining brightly, the birs are flying and there are colorful flowers in the garden. The girl is standing happily in the garden with her cat.

                                                                                     After giving colours to the flowers and the Sun, the rainbow was gone...

UNIT 9

The idea in this Unit is to assist the children in building their imagination; making and speaking simple sentences; and writing at least a few sentences. The sentences can be made both from the text and from their environment, using the sight words and flash cards in their classroom or outdoors.

  • Develop reading skills

 Let the children do the activity of odd one out. Encourage them to spot  the one that is different. For example, draw a sequence of objects  such as flowers and make one flower slightly different. Ask the children to point out the one that is different. These kinds of activities are relevant to reading as they help them identify and discriminate between objects and pictures.

Alphabet cards can be used for the matching exercise. The teacher makes cards from a to z in capitals and in lower case. The child has to match the capital letter with the corresponding one in lower case. For example, A with a and B with b.

  • Group activity

Make a calender for every month showing birthdays of every child and display it along with this traditional song:

Thirty days hath September,

April, June, and November,

 All the rest have thirty-one,

Excepting February alone.

  • Develop pronunciation

Have a recitation or reading session of the poem 'Clouds'. Let each child be given a chance to read. The more confident he feels, the more motivated he will be to continue in his efforts.

Have a reading session of the story 'Anandi's Rainbow' from the Unit. Let each child be given a few lines to read.

  • Develop speaking skills

Discuss with them the following questions

  • How many days has September?
  • Does February have 30 days in the month?
  • How many months have thirty days?
  • How many months have thirty-one days?
  • When is your birthday?
  • How many children in the class have a birthday in each month?

 Ask the class to repeat sentences like: 'It's cold', 'It's raining today',

'It's hot', 'The wind is blowing', 'Leaves are falling'.
