Anjali Aunty wrote - On 16 th -  We cleaned up all things - like mopping slate, stationary rack, scales, food mat, gum mats, doors, windows, books, trays, floor etc. Children enjoyed cleaning together  Then after washing hands we decorated class with streamers by sticking at different place and with toran made by them. We decorated room for festival dressing party.

On 17th - we dressed up using news paper as king, queen with crown and necklace and an animal like rabbit, lion, tiger, monkey etc with tails and imitated their action, sound and walked like them.  We enjoyed watching fashion show performed by Aarohi children with smile. Then we came back to class and settled down to make a Bhel  of variety of mixture like puffed rice, sev, carrot, onion, boiled potato, chatni etc. Children made bhel of their choice and enjoyed eating with sweet and music.  Then we enjoyed dancing on music in group.

Meera Aunty Wrote - The previous day all the stationery items, food mats, long mats were scattered on the floor. They all selected what they wanted to clean and sat in their shapes doing their work. Each round of cleaning earned them a ticket showing how many items they cleaned and we were observing how many rounds of cleaning each one did by looking at their cleaning tickets.

The dolbaja class wanted lots of flowers to make it ready for the party. So we dressed up and decorated our room . Each of the children were given ten strips for five flowers and they began decorating it for the room. Some of them wanted to wear it like a watch, others on their leg and some on the library rack. Soon the music started and their favourite song bum bum bole started.  Then aunty bought in the bhel ingredients and said they could make their own bhel and passed it around for them to select their food dressing. Some made without chutney, some did not want tomatoes and onion etc.

We reflected what they had done the previous day and saw all the shining pencils, racks, crayons which they cleaned the previous day and wrote the daily diet word

Before snack time we went to see the special drama which arohi team put up. The kids were all excited to see them and agreed to postpone their snack time. They were amused to see the artist with marks all over their face. Some of them thought the creatures were monkey, elephant etc. The children when asked questions took time to respond as they were hungry to have their snack time.
