We had our monthly PTM (parent-teacher meeting) yesterday....Its great to see parents being so invested in their kids' progress.....we also had a small prize distribution for the kids who scored highest in math and english or had shown tremendous improvement....here are the reaction of parents....
Ameeruddin showed improvement in math...his mom couldnt believe...she said "mera ameer?? sahi mein?? isne acha kiya?? ghar mein to sirf filmein dekhta hai...isne kaise kiya??"
Sabrin showed improvement in english.......her mom told us that she goes home and starts studying and tries to do whatever she can...
Kashiyan's grandfather appreciated our efforts for doing whatever we can for the children....his Mom told me that she had never been to school but ensures he never misses a day.....
Alot of kids who did not receive any prizes, had long faces!! gosh it was an effort making them understand that they needed to do better.....I felt like a baby-sitter doing that! but its important for them to realise that hardwork does pay-off......and maybe being a little less naughty also helps....
Being a saturday, it was funday for the kids....the class coloured and put together a jigsaw of a peacock....(c pic).....There are so many things that have started exciting them....circling words they know in newspaper articles.....singing the song - This is the way we brush our teeth, brush our teeth, early in the morning...or the song - Aaj monday hai, aaj somwaar hai, kis-kisko bukhar hai.....seeing stars and smiling faces in their notebooks....but yeah u cant fool kids, they observe stuff more than you know.....a visitor to our class recently promised the kids that she will send sweets for them but after talking to my co-teacher she preferred getting them something more useful such as pencils and erasers...when Irfan, a kid in my class saw what was being distributed, he immediately turned to me and said, "Un didi ne to kaha tha toffee bhejengi, par chalo koi nahi pencil hi bhej di".....i was so surprised at his reaction!
This week in school just flew-by.....
Here is my progress on personal front...for all those who don't know I suck at cooking! But off-late Iv started doing a little bit of it...And I agree cooking really isnt rocket science...!(So I can now make pasta and rajma!)
Mumbai is still driving me a little crazy....the frequency of rain has reduced but the smell of moisture doesnt seem to leave the things at my place....Everytime I feel not ok about things, I remember the song....Find yourself.....
Would just want to leave you with the lyrics.......- When you find yourself...In some far off place...And it causes you to rethink some things...You start to sense that slowly you're becoming someone else...And then you find yourself....when you go through life so sure of where you’re headin'....And you wind up lost and it's the best thing that could have happened...‘Cause sometimes when you lose your way it's really just as well, because you find yourself.....Yeah that’s when you find yourself....
I'm hoping I'll find myself soon.....
P.S. For those of you have not seen Peepli Live...you can go for it...its one of the best satires I've seen....
