Parent's day Out!

Together time!

Parents and students spent an afternoon in classrooms working on projects together, and getting to know each other. Parents became familiar with their child's environment as well as their friends in class. Grade 4 students made a 'SUPER FAMILY STATEMENT' poster together. It was interesting to see what slogan and symbol they felt represented their family.

Students and parents shared their family pictures and introduced themselves.

Class elections!

RIGHT TO VOTE!

Class elections will provide students an opportunity to take up responsibilities and exercise their rights judiciously. As a part of Rights and Responsibilities unit students will prepare themselves for the specific roles. Each candidate will have to ponder on the various responsibilities that they will have to execute and the various objectives that they would like to achieve in their tenure. Their campaign will have to reflect their high level of commitment and integrity for the task undertaken. While the candidates will have to exhibit thorough understanding of their role, the other students will have to showcase their absolute understanding of RIGHT to Vote. Voting for the candidate must be done without any biases, prejudice or favoritisms. The Right availed must be utilized to make a fair decision. Class elections will thus be an open ground of simulation for each one to understand that rights and responsibilities go hand in hand and with every right comes a responsibility.

Tuning in! Walk through village

Tuning in: Students will walk through the local village and observe the differences between their lives and the lives if the villagers. Students observed the surroundings and interacted with the villagers to inquire into rights that are denied to them, and the consequences of the same.

Upon their return, they made a Venn to compare their lives with village children.

Students made important connections between needs and wants and appreciated many aspects of village life such as the proud decorations outside the modest homes.
