ACTIVITY- 1

 "Little Chick's Home"


Things required :

A plain white paper, 5 ice-cream sticks/tooth picks/wooden barbeque sticks, fevicol/ fevistik, any coloured marker/ pen, a small picture of chick (you can chose any animal), few oil pastels/ wax crayons 



Learning Objective: 
  • Knowledge about sleeping line ( _ ), standing line ( | ) and slanting line ( / ) through the shape of hut.
  • Learning about pasting and hence improvement in hand-eye coordination and alignment.
  • Creative achievement by a child enhances the confidence.

Steps: 

1. Draw a simple hut using a coloured marker/ pen. 


2. Allow the child to outline the hut with fevistik or fevicol.


3. Let the child paste the ice-cream sticks on the outline. Help and clap for your child on each stick- pasting.


4. The home is ready and its time to paste the chick in its home.


5. Allow the child to decorate the little chick's home with the splash of colours. Let the creativity flow. 

6. Final painting ready to frame.



Tips: 

  • Please go easy with your child. Even if they are unable to paste the sticks properly, just help them out. But, if they are not ready to accept the help, let the hut be of new shape. Chick may love that unique home.
  • Give a name to the chick.
  • Framing some of the creative works of your children brighten up your spirit and make home- "The Home"

Poem: A Mother's First Day @ School

From tummies to laps, from crawls to jumping jacks...Time just flies with little ones. Then comes the day, when these naughty champs have to begin their journey called life. First step: The 'Preschool', after which they won't be wholly ours. Beginning of school years brings a huge relief to mum's life but the first day of separation @ school is the heaviest for mom and child both. Here, I have tried to pen a poem which explains the emotions of a mother on the very first day of preschool. A Mother's First Day @ School In new uniform Let me behold this sight. My little one Is grown up now Then why is this fright? Big school, Big classrooms, Much bigger than her height. Am I ready? Is she ready? For life's new flight. Racing heart, Welled up eyes, That tiny wrist held tight. Pecked, Hugged, " I will be outside " Oops! I just lied. Quiet home, Hushed toys, And so is my appetite. Fidgety, Jittery Couple of hours, Hope all is alright. Tick-tock, tick-tock L...

Friendship

Every year, first Sunday of August is celebrated as Friendship Day, and the week preceding this friendship day is celebrated as friendship week.  Children celebrated this friendship week with full zeal. I saw my 7-year old exchanging cute friendship gifts like message cards, colourful bracelets, chocolates, unicorn pencils etc😊. I am not sure whether they all understand the true meaning of friendship or not but seeing their excitement, I remember a quote read on social media- "When I say I miss my school, I mean my friends and fun, not the school."

After school, college friends come as a blessing to understand the confusions of teenage- confusions from inner world to outer world. It is said that- 'Friends you make in college are the friends you'll have for life' . This is also the age of songs like- " Yeh...

The Lost Letter

Date: 18.05.23 From: Mumbai  To: Delhi  Sent by: an 8 year old To: a 6 year old sister Even after 21 days, the letter has not reached. Is it lost???? Will it reach its destination???? But when???? Summer Holidays After finishing multiplication and division sums one morning, I told my 8 year old to bring her English Workbook to revise 'Writing a Friendly Letter' or what is also called an informal letter. I gave her the  topic- "Write a friendly letter and invite your friend to come and spend her summer vacations with you."  She wrote the letter in her rough notebook. I corrected a few grammatical errors, spellings and punctuation marks and told her to revise the same. Then I went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. After half an hour or so, she came to me with a colourful letter written to her sister (masi's daughter- 6 yrs old) and inviting her to spend summer vacations with her. She said, "Mamma, I would give this letter to her when she comes here. I am keeping...
