🏠 My Home
Class 1 EVS · Unit 8 of 11 · about 120 minutes
Children explore their own home: name the rooms (kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, living room), say what we do in each room, identify things found in each room, and learn how to keep the home clean and tidy. They also observe different kinds of homes (pucca, kutcha, flats, huts) and understand that a home gives shelter and safety. Every micro-topic starts from the child's own home and everyday routines.
What your child will learn

- Students will match common household things to the room where they belong (e.g., bed in bedroom, stove in kitchen).
- Students will describe two ways to keep the home clean and tidy (sweeping, putting toys away, throwing waste in the bin).
