CLASS- II
Dear Parents
The annual summer vacations are here. We are all in a new normal situation and I hope you and your family are safe and healthy as you read this message. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding as we have been adjusting, like you, to the drastic changes in life during the last few weeks. I am extremely appreciative of our students, parents, teachers, staff, and administrators for their positivity, flexibility and resilience during these trying times. A huge debt of gratitude also goes to all of our doctors, nurses, hospital employees, first responders, and our leaders for all they are doing to keep us safe and healthy.
Virtual online classrooms have arrived and at Apeejay School, Saket, learning is in full motion. Our goal is to provide continuous educational opportunities and practice for students while schools are closed but also to eliminate as much stress as feasibly possible for students, parents, and teachers.
We have designed work during the holidays for our students keeping in mind the present situation. One of our main focus points for our students has been inculcation of a “growth mindset.” A growth mindset unlocks our ability to learn and grow especially during challenging times. Little did we know how important this growth mindset would be for all of us this year! Because of this experience and our growth mindset, I believe we all will be stronger when we come out on the other side of the COVID-19 Pandemic! History is being written! We hold the pen! Together, we will write the BEST story for our children!
"Each child is an individual and must be allowed to bloom, express his feelings and ideas." My Dear Parents, spend time listening to your child, sharing household chores, playing, laughing, exercising, relaxing and above all praying to the power you believe in.
A few points to remember: The homework assigned has to be compiled subject wise on loose sheets and neatly filed in one folder only.
Submissions in hard copy will be taken once we resume school. These assignments are graded so kindly ensure your ward does it in his /her own handwriting.
Please contact the class teacher incase if you or our students need support. Kindly send a message and she will be happy to help.
Stay strong! Stay healthy!
Read the story and answer the questions.
My summer vacation last year was great! Almost every day, my two good friends,
Abhinav and Kartik, would come over to my
house. We did so many fun things. On really
hot days, we walked to Kartik’s house and
swam in his swimming pool. When the weather
was not so nice, Abhinav’s mother took us to
see a movie. One of the movies we saw was
about a big, slimy Martian who ate pizza all the
time. It was the funniest movie I have ever
seen. My dad would also take us hiking on the
trails near our house. The rocks we found
there looked like real gold, but dad said it was
not gold. The last week of summer vacation
was the best part of all. All of our families got
together and went on a camping trip. We all sat around the fire at night and told
ghost stories while we roasted marshmallows. Now it is school time again, but
every time that Abhinav, Kartik and I get together we talk about what a great
summer we all had.
1. The main idea of the story is (Tick the correct option):
a. Roasted marshmallows taste good.
b. Martians don’t really eat pizza.
c. Memorable summer vacation.
