When Suhrud drew a 🌈 today heknew from somewhere it has specific colours (didn't know which though) . untill now rainbow for him was all about an arch shape and some colours (didn't know it is VIBGYOR). And we hadn't instructed him to "rectify" "his rainbow", Thankfully!

Today he asked "dad tell me the colours that make a rainbow, I know there are specific colours but don't know which."

No matter how much we tried to not help him with colour names, he wanted to get it out from us, so his dad told him the sequence of colours and he coloured pondering on questions like, what is indigo colour? Is it same as dark blue or violet? Does red come on top arch or innermost arch? And many more. Ofcourse we tried hard to holdback and said "what do you think!"

Finally when I peeped over his rainbow I saw more than 7 arches, and asked doesn't rainbow have 7 arches? (It's difficult to give up Exacting no matter how conscious we are!)

And he said, "Yes may be, but this is my double rainbow 🌈 🌈Do u remember we had seen 2 rainbows on our last trip to Coorg? (Which was 8-9 months back)"

I ended up smiling a double rainbow, to him and to myself!

It was as if he was giving me a revision on last 2 sessions on integrated learning- Seeing shapes, colours, layers and sequence, collecting all that he had been experiencing to create his rainbow, testing my limits to hold myself back on explaining, expecting, exclaiming and exacting and so many more...

I loved the phrase when I heard it yesterday, "Curating the Experience" and this might not be the best of examples in it, but I am glad I have hopped onto the journey!

Kanupriay shared: Visual Intelligence - many a times i scooped grains like this but never paid attention but other day when my son was having fun with grains he said - "I made a ❤ for you"

Shapes      
Curve lines, straight lines


Parul Sharing: I dont know following are visual intelligence or not but my son stories amaze me: glass colours become painting colours and how they remove differently from hands as compare to posters colours

Making chair a swing
Rain crashes sun and make cartoon wet and many more....

Suchitra Sharing: My 7 year old and myself play this game called dot connection, one who gets highest squares will be the winner. The challenge I came up with was, use any design/curve other than straight line. This made us more conscious and present while playing!! I am also planning to play making more triangles instead of Squares.  I feel that this thought has come up because I was visually present. Also the thought of playing on this planner board was first time.


Kanupriya Sharing :
We sat for some coloring and son says he wants to paint his body. Though I did not pre- planned to curate this experience yet spontaneously I said why not and we just soaked ourselves in this experience. It was beautiful indeed. As far as cleaning up is concerned we always created another experience of washing balcony ( not necessarily same day) together and literally soak ourselves in water ❤️.




Bindhu Sharing : Spent the afternoon with colours, I didn’t give ideas .. no right, no wrong  ... and what came out was pure magic !!












VISUAL MING MAP RELATED Conversations:
Deepika Sharing:  Collection, exposure, reading, repetition practice, boundaries, silence

Anuj Sharing :
Few things I could jot down... And am sure the map will keep expanding as I ponder more on it.

when we use play is every aspect it engages us  in that at a diff level. Like e.g. Music intelligence- I have observed that when my kid plays with his own words on a tune he tends to remember the tune better, when he was playing with the keys by himself without my instructions, he caught up saregama sargam himself..  And I can think of such examples in almost every intelligence. 

Shwetha Shared:

I didn't govern this activity in anyway and she enjoyed it thoroughly!!


THANK YOU ALL FOR SHARING AND PARTICIPATING

Thought Bite - Maths on the road ! - Logical Intelligence

Image
First outdoor with different age kids. The goal was to explore “maths in Traffic”. We began by collecting data at two different signals. We counted vehicles,  categorized them like color, size, shape, brand, and so on. We explored a lot of concepts – counting, addition, subtraction ratio, and proportion.    We analyzed the data in different forms – graphs, writing words instead of numbers, drawing designs in graphs, the ratio of male and female drivers, people with hamlets and without a helmet and inferring ratio, brands of bikes, colors of bikes (black was more than red), unique colors (green car) and so on. It was learning for me to explore how different children were counting, how they were analyzing the data, how they were observing, and lot more……… KIDS SPEAK I observed the waiting at a junction and were letting other vehicles cross. I observed the timings at the signals, the second, sequence. I observed the dividers, speed breakers, and the roads. I wrote down what ...

Thought Bite - Oh No! It's time to do some unlearning

Image
Its time for us parents to go back to school - not to learn new things, but to unlearn - ​ a whole lot of what we have ​been ​unfortunately conditioned with.   Its time ​to question our beliefs, its time for some de-weeding   ​ - to create a better, more organic, more meaningful and vitalizing ecosystem for our children. We share 2​0 such​ "OH NOs" ​ below.   1.  We are supposed to teach the students according to the syllabus.“Oh,No!” The syllabus is only an excuse to make them think, to develop this core ability. 2.  Knowledge is powerful.  ​  “Oh,No!” Knowledge is a commodity. The real power is each child's ability to apply knowledge. 3.  Children need to know. “Oh,No!” Children need to experience and understand. From understanding will sprout knowledge of all kinds, of all requirements. 4.  That, who has scored high marks has understood. “Oh,No!”.  ​Mere marks do not guarantee understanding or learning. 5.  That who scored low ma...

Thought bites - MATH-LOGIC INTELLIGENCE

Image
MATH-LOGIC INTELLIGENCE   Mathematical and logical intelligence is the ability to quickly understand mathematical and logical problems Logical-Mathematical Intelligence is also the ability to appreciate and calculate the effect of actions upon objects or ideas. And the relationships among them. To apply reasoning skills, to provide solutions and recognize patterns to overcome complex mathematical and logical challenges as well as solving critical and creative problems. Though there is a widespread belief that those who want to improve their logical intelligence should be very good at mathematics, this is not necessarily the case.     What it implies to? Math logic application in real life, to solve problems, in the field of construction, Laboratories for testing, reason through important decisions, solve problems, generate creative ideas and set goals, drafting, to make story around math concept, To play with the logic, to find your own theory behind the concept,...
