komala Aunty - 1 & 2yrs - Aug 22 - Self

The session was about self intelligence today. Parent and child together would do an activity were in  they would make a collage of things that the child likes. All the parents were very much involved in the activity . They really liked to do the cutting and the pasting. But the challenge was how would you get the child motivated , get into it . Later talked about what was the session all about , what was the objective and how did they all feel about it . Disussed few parenting questions  as a parent asked few questions as to what do I do when a child does this ?  Stressed on more observation as to what happens in the class .

komala Aunty - 1 & 2yrs - Aug 18 - creative


Parents have been introduced to the concept of multiple intelligence.  Today the parent had to tell a story while drawing pictures to their child . Although few children were enjoying the story and the drawing few children found  something else to explore . It was a empty box  that was lying around. One child just wanted to hide himself inside the box. He was playing with the box the whole time when the mother was trying to call him to see what she is drawing !  Next they were given sand trays and some sand tools and animals and trees . Children just loved to explore the sand. One child didn't like the wetness in the sand . One child kept rubbing the sand to his hands, some even tasted it :-) . they were exploring it in all different ways. One mother was trying to teach something to the child  although the child was busy with his own exploration.  Few children didn't want to leave the sand .  It was their first exposure to sand .

komala Aunty - 1& 2 yrs - Aug 3 - Kitchen

The objective for today was to verbalise what ever they were doing , parents
were given puzzles to put it to-gether with the child while verbalising
their process of putting the puzzle to-gether, they were asked to read
pictures to their child. Children enjoyed the free time when they could play
with the kitchen set. Everyone in the group pitched in and wanted to play
with it.

komala Aunty - 1& 2 yrs - Aug 1 - Paint

Children enjoyed their first exposure to paint. They liked to dip their
hands and feel the paint. They emptied the pallete on the paper and rubbed
the paint all around the paper . It was amazing to see the children to get
in a circle and play pass ball at an age when they don't want to give away
anything that comes in their hand. I was really thrilled.
