Hello,

We are reading about Bugs today. I learnt some interesting information about different type of insects.

Like Bugs and their close relatives are Invertebrate animals and that don't have backbones!!

Some of the main groups of invertebrates are :

1. ​ Arthropods - example - honeybee , praying mantis, ant, bark scorpion , centipede, ameircan lobster
2. ​ Worms - earthworm, leech, red mangrove flatworm
3. ​ Mollusks - Garden slug , sea snail , octopus , oyster.

We called Octopus a bug what we meant was it belongs to enormous invertebrate family !

We read that all insects have basically 3 body parts :

1. ​ Eyes
2. ​ Abdomen
3. ​ Thorax ( middle body segment , between neck and abdomen)

learnt today about Thorax !

anyway, i hope you like this 'bug episode' as much as we enjoyed reading it. Do share with us what did you like the most about it.

you can ask your parent to leave a comment or question under the episode , if you have any :)

you must watch the previous episode (Goodmorning) before you watch this :)

Aryan has a question for his mom.. let's see what is it.

Aryan is 7 yrs old. He doesn't like to talk in the morning.. He's just like us.. well most of us..his parents noticed that neither he responds nor acknowledges morning greetings said to him by his teachers. Aryan's mom decides to talk about it. Let's see if it works

We had planned reading another book but at the very last moment this book caught his attention so here we are reading chapters from 'ARJUNA" the brave and honourable prince, considered to be the greatest archer of his time.

I hope you find this episode interesting and fun.

There was a time I would read for him and now he's reading with me ( don't miss the sound effects ) .. asking questions and adding his perspective on illustrations drawn. Sigh :) So this is what they mean when they say "Time Flies!! "

We gave a shout out to his friend Aidan, who is in love with one of his story called "Cars of Confidence" . His mom told us he listens to it on repeat mode :) Hopefully K will record more stories with me in this season :)

Enjoy listening to it and if you did, don't forget to let us know. :)

I oten say we don’t need to fix their problems but give them space to make them feel SEEN and HEARD..

and what happens when you do this ? they feel safe to experience that emotion and process it either on their own or with our help..

The more co regualtion we offer them in the foundational years the more Self regulated they become.

Sharing a short story in this context. i hope you enjoy listening to this.

pyar,

jyotika
