Anuj Sharing:

GM everyone.  Sharing  what happened yesterday night..

Experimenting with senses:

 Sound of plants ..  

Yesterday night we sat on our bed besides balcony, where our balcony garden is... 

As the wind was blowing we listened to the sounds of plants and started our Guessing Game.

And what an exp... 

We could hear so many other sounds too but we decided to consciously focus on sounds made by plants... 

We could hear a happy chrrrrrshrrr chrrshrr of leaves ruffling against each other.  Whssss whasssp sound of delicate frond brushing against another hardy leaf.  There was a pepping shhulpttrr spaaltr of some other leaves..  and many more such..  We had this immense urge to step into balcony and find out which plant was making which sound but we decided to hang on and sleep with those sounds and enjoy it again tonight... 

What's the hurry after all?

Deepika Sharing:

Today went for walk felt activated. Was definitely more sensitive to nature, people, animals, plants.

Bath time is all time favourite space for my son too, everyday he keeps taking something or the other (toys/utensils/stones/shells) to the bath and keeps toying with them n sharing his observations.. 

Wish I could document n share all, nevertheless here are few from today morning... 

* Mom see my hair has become straight when it gets wet, when hair were dry they were curly... Why? 
* Mom also, my hair has become heavier than before. I asked how did they become heavy? He said, I think it is because of water getting mixed with hair
* He crouched on the floor with shower on and started changing directions, I asked what are u doing? He said "  I am feeling how water fall in various body parts feel differently.
* He cupped his hands n collected water n then once sucked it in and then other time licked it ... I asked what are u doing, don't drink that water... He said I am seeing whether sucking water gets more water in my mouth or licking, what is faster to finish water in my hands...
* He placed his ear on the floor with shower on and was hearing how the water sounds when it falls down. 
* The. He started exploring his body parts by folding-unfolding, bending and was trying to figure out which is the smallest joint he has... 


I could register only this much, I am sure he was wandering a lot lot more in his mind than he was sharing! 

Life would seem so full, if we started living every moment , every experience again lke kids do!  🤗😇


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,...
