UKG BOOK-2 THEME-7 HELPERS AROUND US DAY-7 VIDEO-62
# Exploring Community Helpers and Phonics Practice: A Day in Class
## Introduction to the Topic
The video begins with a cheerful greeting from the teacher:
"Hello everyone! A very happy morning to all of you. How are you? I hope you all are well and enjoying my regular classes. Do you know, students, what we are going to learn today?"
The students respond, and the teacher confirms that they will revise the previous topic about "helpers." The teacher then asks the students:
"Students, you tell me—what helpers help us in our daily life?"
The students踊跃回答,列举了各种帮助我们的人:barber, carpenter, cobbler, doctor, farmer, milkman, policeman, postman, soldier, sweeper, tailor, etc. The teacher nods approvingly and proceeds to engage the class further.
## Identifying Community Helpers
The teacher then asks the students to identify helpers they see in their neighborhood. The students list several:
"Barber, carpenter, cobbler, doctor, farmer, milkman, policeman, postman, soldier, sweeper, tailor."
The teacher acknowledges the students' responses and proceeds to show them pictures of various helpers. She asks the students to recognize each helper and describe where they belong. For example:
- "Which helper is this? Ma'am, it's a postman. From where does he belong? He belongs to the post office."
- "This is a painter. Where does he belong? He paints our walls."
The teacher continues showing pictures of gardeners, barbers, farmers, watchmen, tailors, soldiers, milkmen, policemen, and doctors. Each time, the students confidently identify the helper and state where they work or belong.
## Phonics Practice: Reading and Writing Words
After discussing community helpers, the teacher transitions to a phonics activity. She asks the students to open their phonic booklets and practice reading and writing specific words.
The teacher explains that certain letters and sounds are combined in unique ways. For example:
- "Students do you know 'van' and 'T' and 'H'? Both these words are spoken together as 'the.' Like 'the,' 'that,' 'then,' 'P h a t, P h e t, dode them, th e em them der than th e and then third tanks th e and key tank 30 th IC ke tick..."
The students practice reading and writing these words on pages 32 and 33 of their phonic booklets. The teacher emphasizes the importance of recognizing these combinations to improve pronunciation and spelling.
Next, the teacher introduces more complex phonics rules. For example:
- When "P" and "H" come together, they are pronounced as "for." Examples include "fur," "phone," "photo," etc.
- When "W" and "H" come together, they are pronounced as "were." Examples include "what," "when," "where," "were," etc.
The students continue practicing these words on page 38 of their booklets. The teacher provides examples such as "whale," "wheel," "wheater," and "were," explaining how to pronounce them correctly.
## Storytime: Reciting a Rhyme
After the phonics activity, the teacher asks the students to open their rhyme and storybook on page 40. She reads a short story aloud and encourages the students to recite it after her. The story is about a child named Sonu who encounters a stranger at his home while his parents are away. Sonu handles the situation by offering water through the window, demonstrating kindness and responsibility.
The teacher concludes the storytime by asking the students to sit in a circle with their families and discuss what they have done since morning. She also promises to create more engaging videos for them in the future.
## Conclusion: Encouraging Learning and Safety
The video ends with the teacher's heartfelt message to the students:
"Happy learning, Kate! Stay at home, stay safe, and take care of yourself."
This concludes the day's lesson on community helpers, phonics practice, and storytime. The teacher’s approach is interactive, engaging, and designed to make learning enjoyable for young students while fostering essential skills in communication and problem-solving.
