What Class 2 English Chapter 9 Covers

Story Summary — The Fly Who Forgot Its Name: Once a little fly forgot its name. It asked an ant, a tree, a cow, and the grass, ‘Do you know my name?’ None of them knew. Suddenly, the wind blew and a leaf began to ‘fly’. Hearing the word ‘fly’, the little insect joyfully remembered, ‘My name is Fly!’

Knowing About Names & Meanings: Asking parents the meaning of one’s own name and writing the names of classmates, pets, and insects.
