Solution for any situation
We were waiting for the pick up card, when aunty expressed that she does not get pick up card and wants to go home, need pick up card for her as well . Children replies to it with saying you stay in Geniekids, sleep here - take bed from the cupboard and sleep in the class, when aunty asked about where can she take bath, children said there is a bathroom , can have it there, then aunty asked about cloths , children said you wear the same dress don't change it. I was wondering how children was having solution for each situation, as they are saying to me "Don’t worry, There are solutions for any situations."
About my class and my friend
Petals class had dewdrop class children yesterday. Two children from these two class were having conversation in Hindi. The child from petals says to dewdrop class child in Hindi "dekh mere class me wo ek bacha hai (pointing to that child with calling out his name with finger), jo bhaut accha hai, hai na?". I was enjoying listening to their conversation.
ON And OFF channel of feeling
We have the self genie place where we express feeling in different ways. One child was crying for grandparent, when children and aunty pointed towards self genie place about expressing same. That child went there and expressed her feeling by crying and when felt to talk about fun work , joined the group, talked about it, again when felt crying, went to self genie place cried and then again did the same. It was like an OFF and ON channel of feelings.
My face
During an activity of exploring our face features, one child was recognizing her face features by talking to herself, “my eyebrows ( stretching it up), black colour eye balls, hairs, nice hair clip, nose (pulling her nose up)with two holes , ears, teeth, tongue, lips without lipstick”, I was enjoying her facial expression.
Connection with language
Old child informed other child about pick up card time, what time it comes, how does it come to us? Etc. They were having this interaction in their mother tongue where as others listened to them.
Funny language
During play shop lunch time, one child asked aunty, "aunty su-su " , when aunty asked with wondering, "aunty su-su" or do you want to say that, " i want to go to toilet?", we laughed and child change his sentence , that she want to go to toilet.
Same fun happen with other child, This child was eating his lunch in the kitchen and when his eating got over, he was saying "I finished". I was thinking how language makes fun....
Session report Meeting
During play shop lunch time faculty were discussing about their session along with having lunch with children, one child responded with tailing her class session report like "aunty you did like this, in our class we did painting using brushes then this......" , It was going on. Child explained about her session on behalf of aunty. Great session report from children to aunties....
Child as mummy
New child was asking for pick up card during slate time, immediately other child came hold her hand like mummy holds, took her to the schedule chart and informed her with soft and caring tone, that pick up card comes at 12:00 O'clock, then gave her slate, chalk and sat with her with talking to her. New child interacted with comfort feel.
Pair dance
Two children were holding each other hand and performing dance together, become anchor for other children, they found the partner for themselves and started dance. It was smiling moment for me to see their pair dance.
Bus goes round
In the bus one 2 year old child said that "bus goes round and round" immediately other 4year child respond with saying "no, wheel of the bus goes round and round" but 2 year old child was consistently saying bus goes round and round, others were wondering listening to their interaction.
