Picture Time - Chapter Summary
-------------------
# Picture Time
## Overview
Chapter "Life Around Us" engages learners with simple picture-based discussions, counting rhymes, alphabet sequencing, rhyming word exercises, and matching activities. Through songs like "Once I caught a fish alive" and "Five Little Monkeys," students build vocabulary, practice numbers, and explore rhymes while reinforcing sight words and alphabetical order.
## Key Topics Covered
### 1. Picture Time
* **Observation & Naming**: Students look at a picture featuring various animals and birds.
* **Speaking Practice**: Questions prompt learners to name each animal (e.g., lion, monkey, snake) and share where they have seen them.
### 2. Fun with Numbers
* **Counting Rhyme**: The poem "Once I caught a fish alive" practices counting from one to ten.
* **Comprehension Questions**:
* Have you seen a fish?
* Where did you see it?
* What was its colour?
### 3. Alphabetical Order & Drawing
* **Letter Sequencing**: Join scattered letters (h, p, m, d) around "\_\_en" frames to form words like "hen" and "pen."
* **Art Integration**: Complete the picture and colour it once the alphabet sequence is correct.
### 4. Five Little Monkeys
* **Rhyme Progression**: Variations of the "Five Little Monkeys jumping on a tree" song teach subtraction concepts (five → zero).
* **Rhyming Pairs**:
* five – alive
* tree – knee
### 5. Sight Words & New Words
* **Sight Words Introduced**: each, is, and, one, two, three, four, five, little, fell, bumped, holding.
* **Rhyming Practice**: Create new rhymes for "ten" using letters from the help box (h, p, m, d).
### 6. Let Us Do
* **Worksheet Activities**:
1. Circle the word "little" wherever it appears.
2. Identify rhyming words in the two songs.
3. Invent additional number rhymes in any language and share in class.
### 7. Matching Animals
* **Vocabulary Reinforcement**: Match names to animal pictures: lion, monkey, fish, elephant, frog, rabbit.
## Learning Objectives
By the end of this chapter, students will be able to:
1. Identify and name common animals and birds in English.
2. Recite and count using simple number rhymes up to ten.
3. Recognize and practice alphabetical order to build basic words.
4. Understand and generate rhyming words for early phonics development.
5. Read and write simple sight words fluently.
6. Match words to pictures to reinforce vocabulary comprehension.
## Definitions of New Words
* **Lion**: A large wild cat with a golden coat, known as the "king of the jungle."
* **Monkey**: A small to medium-sized primate with a long tail, often found in trees.
* **Elephant**: The world’s largest land animal, with a trunk used for grabbing and drinking.
* **Frog**: A small tailless amphibian that hops and lives near water.
* **Rabbit**: A small mammal with long ears, known for hopping and soft fur.
* **Rhyme**: Words that have the same ending sound (e.g., tree and knee).
* **Sight Word**: A common word students are encouraged to recognize instantly without sounding out (e.g., "and," "little").
* **Alphabetical Order**: Arranging letters or words in the sequence of the alphabet (A → Z).
