Dear little learners,  Today, we’re going to learn something that helps us in real life every single day — subtraction! Whether you’re sharing chocolates, spending pocket money, or counting toys, subtraction is there to help. Ready to become subtraction superstars? Let’s go! What is Subtraction? Subtraction means taking something away. Let’s say you have 5 pencils, and you give 2 to your friend. How many pencils are left with you?That’s subtraction! You had 5, gave away 2 — and now you have 3 left. We use this sign ➖ for subtraction.So, 5 ➖ 2 = 3 Subtraction Without Borrowing This is the easy kind — where the top number is bigger than the bottom one. No borrowing or switching needed! Example 1: Umesh had 28 pencils. He used 16 pencils. How many pencils are left? We write it like this: markdown  28 – 16   12 Let’s break it down: Another Example: Pavitra had ₹36. She spent ₹23. How much is left? markdown 36 – 23 ____   13 Subtraction With Borrowing Sometimes, the top number is smaller — so we “borrow” from the tens. Let’s see how that works. Example: Ramayya had 43 sheep. He sold 19. How many sheep does he still have? We can’t do 3 – 9, so we borrow 1 ten from 4 tens.Now 3 becomes 13, and 4 becomes 3. markdown  43 – 19 ____   24 Don’t worry if this feels tricky at first — it gets easier with practice! Subtraction with Zero What happens when we subtract zero?Nothing changes! Zero means nothing. Example: You had 9 toffees. You didn’t eat any. How many do you still have? 9 – 0 = 9That’s right — all your toffees are still there! Estimating the Answer Sometimes we don’t need the exact number — just a close guess. This is called estimation. Imagine looking at a pile of mangoes. Can you guess how many are there without counting each one?  If there are 32 mangoes, you can say, “Hmm… that’s close to 30.”If there are 77 bananas, we say that’s close to 80. It helps us when we’re in a hurry! FAQs  Q: What if the number on top is smaller than the number below? A: Great question! In that case, we borrow from the tens place. It’s like asking your neighbor for help — you take one ten and change it into 10 ones! Q: What does subtracting zero mean? A: Subtracting zero means nothing is taken away. So the number stays the same. For example, 7 – 0 = 7. Q: Do I always need to borrow? A: No, only when the number in the ones place on top is smaller than the number below it. If it’s big enough, you can subtract straight away! Q: Is subtraction only for school? A: Not at all! We use it when we give things to friends, count money after buying snacks, or see how many toys we’ve lost or given away. Q: How do I remember subtraction easily? A: Just keep thinking of it as “taking away” or “what’s left.” Use real objects like erasers, blocks, or buttons to help you understand better. Take assessment: 1. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) Great for quick checks and identifying the correct concept. Example: What should you do if you spill water at home?a) Leave it and walk awayb) Wipe it cleanc) Call your friendd) Play with it 2. Fill in the Blanks Useful for reinforcing key vocabulary and main ideas. Example: We should always keep our surroundings ______.If you break something, you should say ______. 3. True or False Helps test understanding of correct behavior and concepts. Example: 4. Match the Following Good for connecting actions to correct behaviors or items to usage. Example: Match the action with what you should do: 5. Short Answer Questions Encourages children to express understanding in their own words. Examples: 6. Picture-Based Questions Use visuals to prompt responses (especially helpful for this age group). Example: Show a picture of a dirty room.Q: What is wrong in this picture? What should be done? 7. Situation-Based / Role-Play Questions These help assess real-life application and decision-making. Example: Q: Your friend forgets his lunch box. What will you do?Q: You see someone throw garbage on the ground. What should you do? 8. Sequencing / Arrange in Order Helps children understand processes or routines. Example: Arrange the steps to brush your teeth in the correct order:a) Rinse your mouthb) Apply toothpastec) Take your brushd) Brush your teeth  9. Yes or No Questions Simple and direct for quick checks. Example: 10. Opinion-Based Questions Encourages critical thinking and expression. Example: 11. Connect the Dots / Drawing Activity Integrates creativity with understanding. Activity: Draw a picture showing a “Clean Classroom”.Q: Can you explain your drawing? 12. Sing / Chant / Act (Oral Assessment) This is great for younger learners and group activities. Example:

Hello, my dear students! Today, we’re going to explore the wonderful world of plants right in our backyard. Plants are all around us—some big, some small, and each with its own special parts and shapes. Let’s take a fun journey to learn more about them. Discovering Local Plants When you look around your home, you may see many kinds of plants and trees. Some plants are very small and are called herbs, while others are tall and strong, and we call them trees. Isn’t it amazing how nature creates so many different sizes and shapes? Parts of a Plant Every plant is made up of several important parts: Roots: These keep the plant stable and help it take in water and nutrients from the soil. Trunk/Stem: The strong support that helps the plant stand tall. Branches: They spread out from the trunk and hold the leaves. Leaves: Usually green, they help the plant make food using sunlight. Flowers and Fruits: These are not only beautiful but also help the plant make seeds for new plants. Remember, each part of the plant has a special job. The roots, stem, leaves, flowers, and even fruits work together to keep the plant healthy and growing. Types of Plants: Trees, Creepers, and Climbers Let’s talk about a few special types of plants: Trees: These are the big, tall plants that can stand alone in a garden. Herbs: These are the small, delicate plants. Creepers and Climbers: Some plants, like the bitter gourd or grape vine, have thin, long stems. They either spread along the ground as creepers or climb up trees, houses, and roofs as climbers. They always need some kind of support to grow. Enjoying Nature’s Beauty Take a close look at the leaves and flowers around you. Notice how: Leaves can have different shapes and sizes, even though they are mostly green. Flowers come in many colors like red, blue, white, and yellow. Each color can remind you of a different story or a lovely memory from nature. Nature is like a big, colorful classroom where every plant teaches us something new. So, keep your eyes open and don’t hesitate to ask questions if you’re curious about any plant you see! FAQs Q1: What are the main parts of a plant? A: The main parts are the roots, trunk/stem, branches, leaves, and the flowers/fruits. Q2: Why do some plants need support? A: Plants like creepers and climbers have thin, long stems and need something to hold onto as they grow. They often climb on trees or walls to reach more sunlight. Q3: How can I tell the difference between a herb and a tree? A: Herbs are usually small and soft, while trees are big, tall, and have a sturdy trunk. Q4: Are all leaves the same? A: No! Leaves can be different shapes and sizes, but most are green. This variety helps plants adapt to different environments. Take assessment: 1.

Hello, dear students! Today, let’s chat about a wonderful lesson on animal rearing. Have you ever thought about how some animals live happily in our homes while others roam freely in the forest? Let’s explore this together. What Is Animal Rearing? Animal rearing means taking care of our animal friends so they can live healthy and happy lives. In our lesson, we learn that some animals, called domestic animals, live with us in houses or villages. These animals—like cows, dogs, and hens—get special care from their owners. On the other hand, wild animals live in forests, enjoying nature’s gifts and sometimes facing challenges like a shortage of food. A Story of Animals in a Meeting Imagine all the animals gathering for an important meeting. The reason? The lion, who is the king of the forest, is discussing the upcoming birthday of his daughter. Now, you might ask, “How can they celebrate when there isn’t enough food?” The animals share their worries: while domestic animals have plenty of food provided by their owners, wild animals face difficulties because of a lack of grass in the forest. But then, a bright idea shines through! One animal reminds everyone that the rainy season is coming. When it rains, the grass will grow tall and green, and all the animals—whether in the forest or in the village—will have enough to eat. With this happy thought, they decide to wait and celebrate on a grand scale next year, ensuring that everyone is well-fed and joyful. Why Is This Important? This story teaches us a few important lessons: Remember, rearing animals is not just about using them for work or food—it’s also about loving them and making sure they are comfortable and safe. FAQs Q: What does “animal rearing” mean? A: It means taking care of animals so that they grow up healthy and happy. This can include feeding them, keeping them safe, and showing them love. Q: What is a domestic animal? A: Domestic animals are those that live with us at home or in our villages. They often get extra care from their owners. Q: What is a wild animal? A: Wild animals live freely in nature, like in forests. They take care of themselves but sometimes face challenges, such as finding enough food. Q: Why do we rear animals? A: We rear animals for many reasons—so they can help us in our daily lives, provide food, and also be our companions that bring us joy. Q: How can we help animals even if we are young? A: You can help by being kind to animals, telling your parents or teachers if you see an animal in trouble, and learning more about how to take care of them. Take assessment: 1.

Hello, dear students! Today, we’re going on a fun adventure to explore the wonderful world of animals that live right in our neighborhood. I’m so excited to share with you the amazing creatures you’ll see every day—birds, insects, and even some crawling animals! Discovering Our Local Friends Have you ever stopped to look at the birds flying in the sky? They have beautiful wings and strong beaks that help them eat and sing lovely songs. Isn’t that amazing? These birds are a very important part of nature, and by watching them, we learn how special our environment truly is. Now, let’s talk about insects. You might notice tiny creatures like mosquitoes, ants, and cockroaches scurrying around. Although they are small, insects have a big role in nature. They have six legs and sometimes even tiny feelers to help them sense their world. Isn’t it interesting how every little insect moves in its own unique way? What about crawling animals? Think of animals like snakes that slither along the ground. Each of these creatures has its own style of moving, whether it’s crawling, flying, or walking. By observing them, we can learn a lot about how nature adapts to different places and ways of life. Learning with Our Senses As we explore, always use your eyes and ears to notice all the details: Remember, nature is full of surprises, and every animal has a special story to tell. If you ever feel curious or confused, don’t hesitate to ask questions—learning is a journey we all share. FAQs Q: What exactly is an animal? A: Animals are living creatures that we see around us, from the tiny ants to the chirpy birds and even us humans! Q: What makes birds so unique? A: Birds are unique because they have wings and beaks. They can fly, and many of them sing beautiful songs that make our days brighter. Q: Are insects really considered animals? A: Yes, insects are a type of animal. Even though they are small, they play important roles in our ecosystem by helping with pollination and cleaning up nature. Q: How can I easily recognize different animals in my area? A: By taking a moment to look around your home, school, or park, you can notice various animals. Listen to the sounds they make and observe how they move—each one is special in its own way. Q: Why do animals move in such different ways? A: Each animal has a unique body that suits its way of life. Some crawl, some walk, some swim, and others fly. This diversity helps them survive in their specific habitats. Take assessment: 1. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) 2. Fill in the Blanks 3. True or False 4. Matching Type Questions 5.

Hello, dear students! Today, we’re going to explore the wonderful world of lines and shapes—a topic that helps us see and understand the world around us better. Imagine the beautiful patterns you see on your school notebook or the fun shapes on a playground. Let’s dive in and learn together! Discovering Lines Straight Lines Have you ever noticed that when you fold a paper, a perfect straight line appears along the fold? This is a simple way to see how straight lines are made. We can draw straight lines in two easy ways: A stretched string, when held tight, also shows us what a straight line looks like. Isn’t that amazing? Types of Straight Lines We have different kinds of straight lines: Each type of line is useful in drawing different pictures and understanding the world around us. Curved Lines Now, think about a loose piece of string. When you let it hang or play with it, it naturally bends into a curved shape. That’s how we get curved lines! They look different from the straight lines because they have smooth, flowing curves. Exploring Shapes Two-Dimensional (2-D) Shapes 2-D shapes are flat, like the ones you draw on paper. Here are some common ones: Every shape has its special features, and by looking at them closely, we learn how to tell one from the other. Three-Dimensional (3-D) Shapes 3-D shapes are all around us—they have depth as well as length and width. Here are a few you might already know: Understanding these shapes helps us know how objects roll, slide, or even stand still. For example, a ball (a curved 3-D shape) rolls, while a book (with flat surfaces) slides. Edges, Corners, and More What Are Edges and Corners? Some objects have curved edges (like a ball), and these usually don’t have sharp corners. Isn’t it fun how every object has its own story told through its shape? Shapes in Our Everyday Life Look around you—many everyday objects are made up of these lines and shapes. A window may have straight edges, while a flower might have soft, curved petals. Recognizing these details helps us appreciate the beauty of everyday life. FAQs Q: What is the easiest way to draw a straight line? A: The easiest way is by using a ruler or any straight-edged object. But you can also join two points carefully using your free hand! Q: How can I tell a curved line from a straight line? A: A straight line goes directly from one point to another without any bends, while a curved line smoothly bends or arches. Q: What are the main types of shapes we learn about? A: We learn about 2-D shapes (like squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles) and 3-D shapes (like cubes, cuboids, cylinders, and cones). Q: Why do some objects roll and others slide? A: Objects with curved surfaces, like balls, roll easily. Flat objects, like books, slide across the floor. Some objects can even do both, like a coin! Q: What can I do if I’m not sure about a shape? A: Always feel free to ask questions—curiosity is the key to learning! Your teacher and friends are here to help you explore and understand. Take assessment: 1. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) 2.

Once upon a time, Rohan and Sohan were walking through a forest on their way to Mohan’s house. They were so busy chatting and enjoying each other’s company that they didn’t notice they were deep in the forest. As they strolled under the trees, they suddenly heard heavy, thumping steps behind them. They felt a shiver of fear because they couldn’t see who or what was coming. Before they knew it, a huge bear appeared and began chasing them! Quick-thinking Rohan, who was slim and agile, immediately ran and climbed up a tall tree. Unfortunately, Sohan wasn’t as quick on his feet, and he didn’t know how to climb trees. With no tree to save him, Sohan had to think fast.   Remembering what his parents had taught him, Sohan realized that if he stayed very still, the bear might think he wasn’t alive. So, he lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead. The bear came closer, sniffed his quiet face, and believing that Sohan was not a threat, it slowly walked away. After the danger passed, Rohan climbed down from the tree and, with a mix of relief and humor, asked Sohan, “What did the bear whisper in your ear?” With a gentle smile, Sohan replied, “It said, ‘Never travel with a person who leaves you behind in the hour of need!’” Isn’t that an interesting way to learn about helping one another? Sometimes, even in scary moments, our quick thinking and the wise words we hear can teach us valuable lessons about friendship and responsibility. FAQs Q1: What lesson can we learn from this story? A1: The story reminds us that true friends stick together and help each other, especially when things get tough. It also shows us that quick thinking can help us stay safe. Q2: Why did Sohan pretend to be dead? A2: Sohan remembered that bears usually lose interest in animals that aren’t moving. By lying still, he tricked the bear into thinking he wasn’t alive, and that helped him stay safe. Q3: What did Rohan do when the bear appeared? A3: Rohan quickly ran and climbed a tree, trying to escape the bear. However, even though he was safe up in the tree, he couldn’t help Sohan, which taught us the importance of sticking together. Q4: How can we be good friends like in the story? A4: Being a good friend means caring for each other, thinking of creative ways to help during difficult times, and always being there when someone needs you. Q5: Can we ask questions if we’re confused about the story? A5: Absolutely! Asking questions is a wonderful way to learn. Always feel free to speak up if you need help or want to understand something better. Take assessment: 1.

Hello dear students, Today, let’s talk about something very close to our hearts—our family and the special bond we share with each other. In our lesson “People Around Me,” we learn about the festival of Raksha Bandhan, a day that celebrates love, care, and the promise to protect one another.   What is Raksha Bandhan? Raksha Bandhan is a beautiful festival celebrated in North India. It is all about the loving relationship between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters tie a colorful thread called a rakhi on their brothers’ wrists. This thread is not just a pretty decoration—it is a promise. When a brother accepts a rakhi, he promises to look after and protect his sister, just like a caring friend would. A Special Story to Remember Have you ever heard the story of Krishna and Draupadi? In the great story of the Mahabharata, there was a moment when Krishna got hurt, and his wrist began to bleed. Without hesitation, Draupadi tore a strip from her silk sari and tied it around his wrist. Krishna was deeply touched by her kindness and promised to always protect her. This act of love and care reminds us that even a small gesture can create a strong bond between people. Celebrating With Joy Every year, on the full moon day in the month of Shravana, families come together to celebrate Raksha Bandhan. Sisters carry sweets, a small plate with a lamp called arti, and of course, the rakhi. They visit their brothers, tie the rakhi on their wrists, and receive gifts or tokens of love in return. It is a day filled with warmth, fun, and the promise of always being there for each other. What Does Raksha Bandhan Teach Us? This festival teaches us many important lessons: I always encourage you to ask questions about the traditions you celebrate. Every question is a way to understand the beautiful world around you better! FAQs Q1: What is a rakhi? A: A rakhi is a colorful thread that a sister ties on her brother’s wrist as a symbol of love and protection. Q2: Why do we celebrate Raksha Bandhan? A: We celebrate Raksha Bandhan to honor the special bond between siblings, reminding us to care for and protect one another. Q3: Who started the tradition of Raksha Bandhan? A: The tradition is inspired by the loving story of Krishna and Draupadi from the Mahabharata, where a simple act of tying a thread became a promise of protection. Q4: When is Raksha Bandhan celebrated? A: Raksha Bandhan is celebrated on the full moon day of the month of Shravana. Q5: How can I celebrate Raksha Bandhan at home? A: You can celebrate by spending quality time with your siblings and family, sharing stories, tying a rakhi, and reminding each other how much you care. Take assessment: 1.

Hello, dear students! Today, I’m excited to share a wonderful story from our textbook called “The Cock and the Sun.” Let’s listen closely and discover its beautiful lesson. Once upon a time, the Sun decided that it wanted to meet all the animals and birds in the forest to get to know each one of them. It invited everyone to gather near the big rock in the forest at 6 o’clock in the morning. While the leaves were happily rustling with excitement at the thought of a bright new day, many of the animals had other plans. The charming peacock said, “Oh, Mr. Donkey, please don’t wait for me. It’s so cold this morning—I need a little extra sleep to warm up!” The donkey, a bit cautious, replied, “Well, I’m not sure if the Sun will really be out at 6. I’ll get ready slowly and head out at 8 instead.” Then, the busy bee buzzed, “That gives me time to collect some honey before I join the meeting.” And the cheerful parrot added, “I want to fly out to the field and taste the fruits and food grains, so I’ll come by 8 as well!” Even the mighty elephant had his own routine. He said, “I must take a bath in the river first because it’s quite far away. Would anyone like to join me?” But when it came to the lion, he proudly declared, “I am the king of the forest! I’ll go on my own after everyone else has gathered.” The clever fox, always by the lion’s side, agreed to accompany him. And the wise owl, who had spent the whole night catching mice, felt too tired and decided to rest. When the bright Sun finally rose in the sky, only one little cock was there to greet it. Unlike the others, the cock was naturally awake early and patiently waited for the Sun to appear. Seeing this, the Sun was overjoyed and praised the cock for being so punctual. As a reward for his dedication, the Sun placed a lovely crown on the cock’s head. That crown came to be known as the “comb,” and even today, as the cock crows at sunrise, it reminds us of the importance of being on time. Remember, my dear students, being punctual is not just about being early—it’s about showing respect and readiness to embrace the new day with a smile. Always feel free to ask questions if anything isn’t clear. I’m here to help you learn and grow! FAQs Q: Why did the Sun want to meet all the animals? A: The Sun wanted to meet all the animals and birds to know them personally and see how each one started its day. Q: Which animal was ready and waiting at sunrise? A: The cock was the only one who arrived on time because it is used to waking up early. Q: What reward did the cock receive from the Sun? A: The Sun placed a beautiful crown on the cock’s head, and that crown is called a “comb.” Q: What lesson does this story teach us? A: It teaches us that being on time is important—it shows that we respect our responsibilities and are ready to start the day with energy! Q: Why did the other animals and birds delay their arrival? A: They had different plans and were busy with their own activities. This reminds us that sometimes, it’s important to set aside time for things that matter, like greeting the new day. If you have any more questions or need further explanation, please ask confidently. Learning is a journey we enjoy together! Take assessment: 1. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) 2.
