Key Concepts
Once I Saw a Little Bird (Poem)
In this poem, the child sees a little bird. The bird hops on the ground. The child asks the bird to come closer, but the bird flies away. Birds are shy and they fly away when people come too near. The poem teaches us to observe nature and enjoy watching birds from a distance.
Mittu and the Yellow Mango (Story)
Mittu is a parrot who sees a big yellow mango on a tree. Mittu wants to eat the mango very badly. But the mango is too high up on the tree. Mittu tries different ways to get the mango. The story teaches us that we should ask for help when we need it and always be polite.
Action Words
Action words tell us what someone or something is doing. The bird hops, sits, and flies. Mittu sees, wants, and eats. Other action words are: run, jump, walk, talk, play, read, and write. These words make sentences interesting.
Fruits We Eat
Fruits are tasty and healthy. A mango is yellow and sweet. An apple is red and crunchy. A banana is yellow and soft. An orange is orange and juicy. We should eat fruits every day to stay healthy.
