,
The month of august has been a very special month for the
PYP. The children have gained a broad exposure to many
different areas of science including a initial understanding of
various other concepts. We have started up with 5 notebooks
for English so that the children are thorough in all the
concepts. These 5 books include story book, essay writing,
handwriting, letter writing and grammar..we have started
implementing various reading programs for the kids so that
each and every child becomes a perfect reader....
You can encourage your child to work on his/her
handwriting by making his/her practice in a fun way. Offer
your child a special pencil or a rainbow of colored ones.
Don’t just give him/her a word to copy. Try simple word
puzzles, anagrams and a game of hangman or ask her/him to
brainstorm lists around a theme to give writing practice
purposeful. Make time every day to talk with your child
about the day’s activities. Encourage them to think and
reflect on their own learning.
Help them to do research by themselves to create an
inquiring mind.

We had a grammar exhibition on August 31 2013. It was a
very informative exhibition. The event started with a
breathtaking song on grammar, a book parade and
character parade where we met our favorite characters.
We also had many stalls with games based on different
grammar topics. Most of the game stalls were about
English grammar and one stall on Hindi grammar and ICT
grammar games. We learnt much more about grammar as
it was very educational. Every class prepared lots of
information in their own stalls. Every class had selected
their own grammar topic and prepared magnificent game
on it. Some stalls also had more than one game.
Every game stall had prizes for winners, stickers of starts
and smileys. There was a mini library arranged for students
to visit and explore related books. All the students had
done a marvelous job. We appreciated all the student
leaders and our dear teachers for the great and successful
grammar journey. We had a lot of fun playing these
wonderful grammar games which gave us lot of
knowledge.

READING HABIT
NESISM inspires lots of readiness learning and fun activities and one of the best ones is “Reading
program”
Why is reading to your child so important? Because reading is great exercise for brains and helps to
develop their minds. Young children first learn by experience and moving, then by watching and
listening. When children arrive at school they add reading to the ways that they learn. By sharing books
with them at home, parents and caregivers are rewiring the brain to learn by reading. Children grow
large vocabularies by listening to books and expand their understanding and use of language.
As Grade1 is the base which lays the strong foundation and in order to enhance their reading skills we
have introduced following methodsReading Buddies- The students from higher grades (MYP) help and guide them in reading.
DEAR- Many different reading strategies are used to enhance their reading during their DEAR (Drop
Everything And Read) lecture.
Online Reading- Students enjoy reading sessions through online story books.
Reading Booklet- Every week a reading booklet is issued to the students to give more practice and be
good readers.
Reading Bags- Every Friday a child carries a reading bag with a book from the class library and gives the
book review of the same.
Scholar Cards- Scholar cards are issued to motivate and inculcate reading habits in students.
New Introductions:
Apart from this we would like to introduce –
“Parent- Student Readers Academy” wherein one of the parents will be invited to read out the book to
the students.
“Reading Notes”- Let’s try a unique way to make reading so exciting that children actually look forward
to it every day. We have found a solution…reading notes! By secretly putting a note in your child’s
communication book, you are doing so much more than simply reminding them that you care by writing
just a small one liner in it. You are encouraging your child to read while filling the school day with
encouragement. Reading notes are fun, educational, positive, and motivational!
Caption- This is how we make choice for toys, clothes and food.
