June

The longest and brightest day has firmly established itself on the earth. Before the sun has time to hide behind the forest on one side, soon its first rays hit the sky on the other. And the further north, the more noticeable this phenomenon.

Summer is taken for warmth, sets red days. The sky is less often covered with clouds, the blue expanse is only in some places interspersed with caps of clouds. That is why the sunshine in June is less obstructed than ever."The bucket is making bread"- says folk wisdom.

A busy June day begins. Birds scatter through the forest in search of prey for the younger generation. The chicks themselves are not visible, only a squeak is heard. And in the thicket the nightingale sings and fills all night. But cuckooing by the end of the month is no longer heard, according to an old belief,"Cuckoo choked on a barley ear", and as soon as the spring crops began to sprout -"cuckoo song sung".

Quail calls for weeding fields and gardens:"Go weed, go weed"she almost says.

Linden blossoms. But why so late, in the middle of summer? Her green friends have long since shed their spring outfit. And the answer is simple: the linden blooms flowers on the shoots of this year. For a while, the young shoot will grow and fruit buds will be laid in it - and the red summer has come, the end of June.

Strawberries bloom brightly in clearings and clearings."Egorka is standing in a red yarmulke, whoever does not pass, gives every bow", is the riddle. And after the wild strawberries, wild strawberries will pour. She is a bigger berry and a taller bush.

Dry. True, the rains also fall, sometimes quite plentiful. And then a real downpour will pour, pouring at first pills of hailstones. But, as people say,"in summer, a bucket of water is a spoonful of dirt". Rain, even heavy, will only beat the dust, and the sun will come out - and everything will immediately dry out."After good rains, the earth is a birthday girl".

It's hay time. A little light - all in the meadows."Walk two swaths before the sun - you won't walk barefoot"- instructs everyday experience.

The aroma of the first hay fills the air."A pood of honey is put into the hay cut on time"says folk wisdom.

Fruits ripen. Plants bloom, which are characterized by red color - roses, peonies. Therefore, they call June a worm - red. Among other peoples, the name of the month is associated with roses - rozovnik, roznik. You can also hear such a name - isok (in some areas this is what a grasshopper is called). In some places, June is called the blush of the year - for flowers, colors and bright dawns. Peasants, grain growers, called the month quite simply - grain growth.

And again folk signs, instructions:
June is the end of the flight, the beginning of summer.
June is a hoarder: hoarding crops for the whole year.
The month of June, ay! (Bread is neither old nor new.)
Sultry June - spit on mushrooms.
Bread came up - do not marvel, bread poured - do not boast, bread on the current - talk about the harvest.

Naming the months, the European powers showed amazing solidarity. You can verify this by comparing the names adopted in different countries. For example:

Isn't it true that they are all like a blueprint? This is convenient, because when determining the time of year, you can easily navigate in any country. Learning the names of the months is considered one of the easiest foreign language lessons.

But what explains this similarity?

Everything is very simple: the basis of all names is the ancient Roman calendar. The ancient Romans, in turn, named the months after their gods, rulers, important events and religious holidays.

However, there is one feature: the entire calendar year, depending on the origin of the names of the months, can be divided into two parts. One is dedicated to the holidays and the gods, and the second for some reason was called simply by number. But first things first.

To understand in more detail, you need to remember the "calendar" history.

WHO GIVED THE NAMES TO THE MONTHS?

In ancient times, the chronology was carried out according to a 10-month calendar (there were 304 days in a year), and the names of the months coincided with their serial number: first, second, sixth, tenth (or unus, duo , tres, quattuor, quinque, sex, septem, octo, novem, decem - in Latin). In the 7th century BC e. It was decided to reform the calendar - to bring it into line with the solar-lunar cycle. So there were 2 more months - January and February, and the year increased to 365 days.

• Studies show that in the VIII century BC. e. The Romans decided to name the months. The first was March, named after the god Mars. The ancient Romans considered him their progenitor (the father of Romulus, the founder of Rome), and therefore honored him with such honor.
• The next month (then - the second in a row) was Aperire, which in Latin means "to open", - in honor of the onset of spring and the appearance of the first shoots.
• The Roman goddess of fertility Maya was given the third month - Maius. At this time, it was customary to make sacrifices in order to achieve the favor of the deity and get a good harvest.
• The month of June (the fourth in the old account) got its name in honor of the wife of Jupiter Juno - the goddess of motherhood (lat. Junius).
• July (Julius) is perhaps the most famous month. Even many schoolchildren know that the Romans dedicated it to the greatest ruler - Emperor Julius Caesar.
• Next month(sixth, or sextus, according to the old account) was named after Caesar's successor, Octavian Augustus. In order to equalize the two great emperors, days were even added to August (Augustus) (in the sixth month at that time there were 30 days, and in the fifth, dedicated to Caesar, - 31). One day in honor of Emperor Augustus was "taken away" from the new month - February. That is why it is the shortest of the year.

From the seventh to the tenth months, they retained their usual names: the seventh ( September/September), eighth ( octo/October), ninth ( novem/November) and tenth ( decem/December). Apparently, the Romans could not come up with something more interesting.

As already mentioned, January and February came later. Their names are directly related to religion. January (Januarius) began to be called so in honor of the god Janus. He, as the ancient Romans believed, had two faces. One was turned into the future, the second - into the past (which is symbolic for the first month of the year, isn't it?). February ( Februum) was named after the eponymous rite of purification from sins.

In 45 BC, Julius Caesar decided to celebrate the beginning of the new year on January 1st. So we got the Julian calendar and everyone's favorite holiday.

SLAVIC VERSION

If we talk about the Slavic names of the months, then in a number of Slavic languages and now the names are used Slavic origin, not international Latin. Unlike the ancient Romans, our distant ancestors called calendar months according to natural manifestations.

"Authentic" Slavic names

• January - cut (the time when they cut or cut the forest, prepare wood for new buildings);
• February - fierce (the month when frosts are fierce);
• March - birch (the time when the buds on the birch begin to swell);
• April - pollen, bloom (the time of the beginning of flowering);
• May - grass (grass begins to grow);
• June is a worm. There are 2 versions of the appearance of this name. The first - by the red color of the blooming flowers, the second - by the appearance at that time of the larvae of the cochemil insect, from which the red dye was made;
• July - lime (in honor of the flowering of linden);
• August - sickle (the time for the work of the reapers, when harvesting with a sickle is in progress);
• september - spring. According to one version, the month got its name in honor of the flowering of heather, according to another - in honor of the threshing of grain, which our ancestors called "vreschi";
• October - Zhovten (the leaves on the trees are yellow at this time);
• November - leaf fall (time when trees drop their foliage);
• December - snow, chest (at this time snow falls, the earth turns into frozen breasts).

Now you know how the names of 12 months appeared. Which version do you like more - Latin or Slavic?

spring the day is getting longer. The sun heats up better. It is getting warmer. Snow melts. Streams run. Leaves appear on the trees. Grass starts to grow. Flowers bloom. Migratory birds are flying. People wear demi-season clothes. The most famous spring holidays are March 8 and May Day.

Summer the sun is high, it shines brightly, it warms well. Costs hot weather. Flowers bloom and berries appear. people wear summer clothes. You can swim in natural reservoirs and sunbathe.

And winter comes again...

Do not forget to discuss the very concept of "seasons", what a year is. Children often confuse "season", "time of day", "week", "month" and just "time", immediately distinguish between these concepts. Riddles will help with this:

There is a tree in the royal garden. Flowers bloom on one side, leaves fall off on the other, fruits ripen on the third, branches are cut on the fourth. What is this tree? (year)

These birds are flying in a row,
And they don't go back anymore.
In each flock of birds - seven,
You all know them! (Days of the week.)

twelve brothers
They roam one after another
But they don't overtake each other. (Months.)

Stretched bridge
For seven miles
And at the end of the bridge
Golden Mile. (A week.)

Come yearly
To visit us:
One gray
Another young
The third is jumping
And the fourth is crying. (Seasons.)

Invite the child to come up with a story about the seasons.

Don't forget to tell your child that a year is made up of 12 months, and for each season there are 3 months.

How to learn the names of the months with your child

A simple poem will help you remember the months:

January was walking through the snowdrifts, the king of all winter frosts!
February caught up with him - he lost his shawl from a blizzard.

March came running to change, rang out: "Spring, to the start!"
April sailed along the streams, he carried drops in his pocket.

May rustled the foliage: "Take off your warm jacket!"
Dandelion carried June. Do you want a miracle? Just blow!

And in July, and in July we rested on the sea!
August was buzzing with bees, but he was sitting in the forest like a mushroom.

In golden September, we forgot about the heat!
The wind blew in October: we will pick up yellow leaves!

November froze us, threw the first snow on the ground.
December is upon us, ending a long year!

(c) Irina Gurina

Or another verse:

We learned the names of the months and their order, now you can tell the child a secret how to determine / count the number of days in a month by cams :)

Don't forget to tell us about the leap year!

Thirty days always in September
April, June and November.
A day more in other months,
Only February does not want to catch up.
It has only twenty-eight days,

There are only 4 months in a year, 30 days long. June, the first month of the long-awaited summer, is one of them. The longest day of the year with the most short night, day summer solstice falls on June 21st. Where did the name of the month of June come from? And again we will plunge into the depths of centuries. It used to be considered lucky to get married in June. And the Roman goddess Juno, after whom, perhaps, the month of June was named, patronized marriage and family life.

The Roman poet Ovid suggested that June was named after the first Roman consul, Lucius Junius Brutus.

There is another version of the name of the month, according to which the word "junior" means "young", "younger". And June was also called isok. Izok is a grasshopper, and there are a lot of them in June.

And among the people, June is called grain growth, multi-colored, hoarder, light star, milky, ant.

June notes:

If there are warm nights in June, this is an abundance of fruits.
Frequent fogs in June mean there will be plenty of mushrooms.
If the woodlice blossomed in the morning and remained open all day, then the weather will be good.
If the bees buzz in swarms on the blossoming mountain ash, tomorrow will be a clear day.
It smells good of honeysuckle - to the rain.

June sayings:

In June, a day is about a year.
In June, food is scarce and life is fun: flowers bloom, nightingales sing.
In June, the dawn converges with the dawn.
In June, each bush will let you spend the night.
In June, the first berry is put in the mouth, and the second is carried home.
In June, a holiday in the forest: pine and spruce blossom.
Spends June at work, discourages dancing from hunting.
June has come - spit on fishing.

June holidays: June, however, like any other month, is rich in dates.

June 1st marks one of the oldest international holidays- International Children's Day. It was founded in Geneva, in 1925, at the World Conference on the Welfare of Children. This holiday is important for all parents. Only now, I wonder, do any of you congratulate your kids?

June 5- world day environment. This day once again reminds all the inhabitants of our planet that we must reckon with nature. After all, our life depends on the environment. And it is in last years we began to feel the influence of ecology.

A significant place among the dates is occupied by Pushkin Day, which is celebrated June 6. This holiday became official in 1997, when the president signed a corresponding decree. I am sure that there is not a single person who would not know this name, the name of the greatest playwright, poet A. S. Pushkin, whose name entered the history of Russia in golden letters. Alexander Sergeevich raised to an unattainable height a simple Russian word, made the Russian language perfect and brought it world significance. Even during Pushkin's lifetime, Gogol said of him: "Pushkin is an extraordinary phenomenon and, perhaps, the only manifestation of the Russian spirit: this is the Russian man in his development, in which he, perhaps, will appear in 200 years."

On June 11 St. Isaac's Cathedral was consecrated. The most beautiful building of Auguste Ricard de Montferrand, without which the appearance of St. Petersburg is no longer conceivable. The history of St. Isaac's Cathedral, an outstanding architectural monument, is interesting and unusual. Peter the Great began to build it, and Nicholas 1 finished it already. The cathedral was built for 40 years, its height is 101 meters, and its weight is 114 tons. 112 monolithic columns surround St. Isaac's Cathedral. The interior design includes numerous works of painting, mosaics, sculptures, in total more than 150 works of monumental painting. Among them are the works of such recognized and outstanding painters as Vasily Shebuev, Fyodor Bruni, Karl Bryullov.

There is one holiday in June, a red date on the calendar, 12 June- Russia Day. It has been celebrated annually since 1992 and is not a working day. Hooray.

June 13 construction began on the great Siberian route - the Trans-Siberian railway. This is one of the largest railway lines on the entire planet - 9300 kilometers! This highway connects Far East With European part Russia.

22nd of June the saddest date in the history of our country. On this day, or rather morning, on Soviet Union attacked by Nazi troops. On June 22, 1941, the most bloody war began, which lasted 1418 days. And all these long days and nights, all the people gave all their strength to defend the very existence of our state. The victory came at a high price. More than 20 million dead, more than a hundred cities destroyed but unconquered. Thousands of villages lying in ruins. Every year, on June 22, we remember those terrible years of war, deprivation and devastation.

BUT June 24, 1945 The first Victory Parade took place in Moscow. And this is also a memorable and significant date in our history. Despite everything, we were able to win an unconditional victory. And in order to consolidate the Victory, it was decided to hold a Victory Parade on Red Square. On that day, June 24, 1945, the victors of fascism were honored in Moscow. At first, Stalin himself wanted to host the parade, but in last days refused it, as he had poor preparation. And he instructed Marshal Zhukov to take the Victory Parade. Marshal Rokossovsky commanded the parade. Approximately 40,000 people took part in that parade. An interesting fact is that those walking in columns clung to each other with their little fingers in order not to stray and keep the formation. A special platform was built on Red Square, on which captured German banners, 200 pieces, were thrown. After the parade, they were burned, as were the gloves in which the flag-bearers threw German trophies.

These are the holidays in June.

But such poems about summer were written by wonderful poets:

Alexander Pushkin

Oh, red summer! I would love you
If it weren't for the heat, and dust, and mosquitoes, and flies.
You, destroying all spiritual abilities,
you torment us; like fields, we suffer from drought;
Just how to drink and refresh yourself -
There is no other thought in us, and it is a pity for the winter-old woman,
And, seeing her off with pancakes and wine,
We create a wake for her with ice cream and ice

Nikolai Nekrasov

(From the poem "Peasant Children")

Wow, it's hot!.. We picked mushrooms until noon.
Here they came out of the forest - just towards
A blue ribbon, winding, long,
Meadow river: they jumped in a crowd,
And blond heads over the desert river,
What porcini mushrooms in a forest clearing!
The river resounded with both laughter and a howl:
Here a fight is not a fight, a game is not a game ...
And the sun scorches them with midday heat.
Home, kids! it's time to dine.
Have returned. Everyone has a full basket,
And how many stories! Got scythe
Caught a hedgehog, got lost a little
And they saw a wolf ... wow, what a terrible one!

Samuil Marshak

June has come.
"June! June!" -
Birds are chirping in the garden.
Just blow on a dandelion -
And it will all fall apart.

Boris Zakhoder

All winter...
Where is summer?
Animals, birds!
Waiting for an answer!

Summer, -
Swallow thinks -
Coming very soon.
Summer needs to hurry up
And it flies like a bird!

Arrives? -
The Mole snorted. -
Under the ground it crawls!
Speak
Summer's soon?
I don't hope so!

Toptygin grumbled:
- Summer
Sleeping in his lair
Somewhere...

The horse neighed:
- Where's the carriage?
I am now
I'll bring summer!

Summer, -
The rabbits told me
Get on the train at the station
'Cause it might be summer
Ride a HARE -
Without a ticket!

Fedor Tyutchev

The hot ball of the sun
The earth rolled off its head,
And a peaceful evening fire
The sea wave swallowed.

The bright stars have risen
And gravitating over us
Heavenly vault lifted
With their wet heads.

The airy river is fuller
Flowing between heaven and earth
The chest breathes easier and more freely,
Freed from the heat.

And sweet thrill, like a jet,
Nature ran through the veins,
How hot her legs
Key waters touched.
