 Verb Voyage: Class V's Tense-Tastic Adventure! 
Buckle up, Fabindia family! Class V zoomed into the thrilling world of verbs and tenses last week, transforming our classroom into a time-traveling spaceship. Students didn't just learn—they exploded with action! Picture this: Teams raced through "Present Power," acting out "I jump high!" Then, they time-warped to the past with "I jumped higher!" and future dreams like "I will jump highest!" Laughter echoed as kids froze in funny poses for "Present Continuous" (jumping) and dashed around for "Past Continuous" (was jumping).One highlight? Little Sahir's epic "I have jumped over the moon!" skit, complete with imaginary craters! By activity's end, every child mastered tenses like superheroes, boosting confidence and grammar grip. "It was fun learning!" beamed Prakash & Jaynandini. Stay tuned for more grammar galas!

 Abraham Lincoln's Birthday: From Log Cabin to Legacy (February 12, 1809) 
Orphaned Abe split rails by day, read by candlelight at night, dreaming beyond his frontier shack. Facing war and doubt, he freed the enslaved, declaring all worthy of liberty. Today, his words rally us: Persevere, and poverty bows to purpose. The Tall Man's Triumph
From humble wood to freedom's throne,
Abe rose tall, though seeds were sown
In hardship's soil—now hear his call:
Build your bridge, and nations fall!
Ignite your spark: Like Lincoln, turn trials into triumphs, leading with an unyielding heart.
 Understanding Climate Change 
Climate change is one of the biggest global problems faced by the world today. It refers to long-term changes in the Earth's temperature and weather patterns. Over the past few decades, the average temperature of the planet has increased rapidly due to human activities. This change is affecting nature, human life, and the environment in many harmful ways.
Causes of Climate Change 
The main cause of climate change is global warming, which happens due to an increase in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O) in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the Sun and increase the Earth's temperature.

 Pulwama Tribute: A Mother's Unsung Letter 
पुलवामा की अमर लौ: एक माँ का अनसुना पत्र
प्रिय मेरे लाल, 
मेरे शहीद जवानों, तुम्हारी मिट्टी से सनी वो वर्दी आज भी मेरे सीने से लगी है। 14 फरवरी 2019—वो काला दिन जब पुलवामा की वादियों में 40 फूलों का कत्ल हो गया। CRPF के वीर बेटों, तुम बस ड्यूटी पर थे, पर आतंक की गोलियों ने छीन लिया तुम्हें हमसे। आंसुओं की नदी बहती है, पर तुम्हारी हंसी याद आती है—चाय की चुस्की लेते, बच्चों को कंधे पर बिठाते।सपने में आते हो ना? कहते हो, "माँ, रोना मत—हमारा खून देश की मिट्टी में मिल गया, अब हर बच्चा हमारा वारिस बनेगा।" कल्पना लो: एक अनाथ सी लड़की रिया, पुलवामा के स्कूल में खड़ी होकर कसम खाती है, "चाचा जैसा हौसला दिखाऊंगी, देश को कभी झुकने न दूंगी!" तुम्हारा दर्द अब आग है—जो जागृत करेगी लाखों दिलों को।ये पत्र नहीं, हमारा संकल्प है: तुम्हारी शहादत व्यर्थ न जाएगी। जियो हम, तुम्हारे नाम!
अनंत प्रेम से, 
एक भारतीय माँ की आत्मा
