 What’s New

Can you tell something about yourself? Do you know how to do it? Come!
Listen to Ana’s introduction of herself and what she is doing during this time of
pandemic. Then afterwards you do the same as what Ana did.

Hello! My name is Ana B. Santos. I am six years old. I live in

Pastolan Village, Tipo, Hermosa, Bataan. I am studying at Pastolan
Elementary School. I am a Grade 1 pupil like you. My mother is
Analisa B. Santos. My father is Anton D. Santos. I have a brother and
a sister. My brother’s name is Andi and my sister’s name is Anita.
We just stay inside our house because we don’t want to be infected
with COVID 19.

Now it’s your turn. Can you tell something about yourself just like
Ana?

Let us now answer the questions about Ana. Your parent or any member of
your family will read these questions for you. Try to answer them all correctly!

● What is the name of the little girl? ● How old is Ana?

● What is the name of Ana’s mother? ● Who is her father?

● Who is her sister? ● Who is her brother?

● What is the name of her school? ● What grade is she in now?

● Why do they stay inside their house? ● Where does she live?

● Do you also stay in your house just like Ana because of COVID 19?

Let’s proceed with the next activity. Can you read the given words below that
came from the Ana’s introduction of herself? Read the words properly with the
help of your family member.

 father mother brother sister

Now, what do we call the group of people consisting of parents and children
living together in a household? Can you give other family members?

What is It
As a child, you should know your name, date of birth, and even the name of
each family member. Every person has a name. It serves as their identity. The
name is given by the parents to their child after birth. The date of your birth is
the day you were born.
One of the interesting things about being a Filipino is our strong love for
our family. Parents, siblings, and sometimes our grandparents made up
our family.
Even you’re a child, you also have your personal experiences. It can be
good and memorable to you especially if they are happy moments. Sometimes
your experience is not as good as the others. But, these experiences always
teach you a lesson that you will always remember as you grow.

What’s More

A. Let us do more activities to deepen your knowledge. Can you read the poem
below together with your family member? After reciting the poem answer the
given exercises.
