Wish youuuu a merry christmasss!!
Today's session (dec 23rd) was supposed to be jam packed with creative, verbal and self expression - a complete poetry session! instead thanks to the holiday mood, neither were there enough number of children plus all kids were in the total holidaying mood!!
Since the theme was expression, i scrapped the original activity and we decided to make christmas and new year cards to those we love and express it through the cards with a special message. All kids got involved in the activity with great enthusiasm and one even went to the extent of making a surprise card for her lil sister (also in geniekids)...With the exception of one child who did not want to participate. His stand? "i get scolded all the time so i am not making it"! However, with a lot of questioning and facilitation, he did decide he would make the card, but wont write in any messages.
Most of the other kids settled for just one sentence to express what they wanted to say -" i love you mama and papa" - life is that simple isnt it...or is it??? ...
