First week of school

The first week of school was a settling period for our little learners. They discovered that they are free to move around the classroom & choose their own work. They learnt how to lay out the mats & work on it.

We start the day with a 10-15 min “Circle time” wherein we welcome children, change our calendar & do the headcount for the day through these songs –
· Hello everyone, how are you?
· We wish you a happy Monday (tue, wed etc.)
· How many friends are here today?

This is followed by singing nursery rhymes –
· Row, row, row your boat
· Pat-a-cake, Pat-a-cake
· Wheels on the bus
· Head and shoulders
· Machli jal ki rani

After the circle time, children choose their own activities like transferring grains, sorting, sponging etc. Our avid readers head straight to language section for flash cards or books.

Our budding artists also showed their creativity by colouring with crayons & hand printing their Father’s day cards!
