To the educator:
Using progress reports and profiles of the learners in Grade 1, the Grade 2 educator can assess the ability of each learner in the class.
The Grade 2 educator also needs to know which work has been covered in Grade 1 so that she can revise, consolidate and re-teach where necessary, before proceeding to the Grade 2 phonics, writing, reading etc. Make sure the learners understand the written instructions on each page. The learners furthermore need to know where and when to go for help when doing written work e.g. finding out how to spell a word etc.
The slower learners need continual support whereas the fast learners can be given additional work based on the activities for further stimulation.
All learners should complete all seven modules during the year. Allow them to progress at their own speed covering ± one and a half modules per term.
Learners learn about adaptation of animals in the wild. They discuss their differences and similarities e.g. eating habits, camouflage, and environments.
The advantages and disadvantages of animals in Zoo’s are discussed.

Read the fable that follows to the learners, showing the pictures of the animals eating. Explain that Aesop wrote fables as stories with a lesson or moral. Discuss the lesson in this story, namely consideration for others.
Read the story a second time, then ask the learners to remember what the fox and stork said to each other. Write the dialogue in the speech bubbles.
You are referred to the page with the two pictures: one of the fox and stork eating peas from a plate and one with them eating out of long narrow glasses (almost like vases), with speech bubbles for the dialogue. The children need not use the exact words, but the same meaning should be conveyed
The fox had invited the stork to dinner. He set out the plates and filled them with his favourite meal - peas. When the stork arrived he stared at the table in dismay. Try as he might, he could not pick up a single pea.
" Oh, I see you are not enjoying the meal," said the fox. " Well, I cannot let it go to waste. I had better eat it for you".
So saying, he gobbled down the stork's dinner as well as his own.
" That was lovely. We should do this again some time."
The stork was hungry and now he was angry as well. But he was also clever.
"We should indeed. However, this time you must be my guest!"
When the fox arrived for dinner, the stork has set out two tall, narrow glasses.
"I have prepared a special dish for you," said the stork.
Sadly for the fox he never even tasted it, for his snout could not reach into the long narrow container.
"I see you have no appetite," said the stork. "I had better finish it for you."
