UNDERSTANDING CHILDHOOD: SENTENCE ACROSTICS

UNDERSTANDING CHILDHOOD: SENTENCE ACROSTICS For a preschooler, a teacher frequently serves as the first reliable adult apart from their family. During childhood, kids begin to determine whether the world is a safe environment for them to explore, inquire, and express their creativity. Ultimately, working with preschoolers helps us remember to cherish the sense of wonder. A child is highly, curious, creactive and creative individual. And their ability to learn—and to impart knowledge to us—is genuinely boundless. Here is childhood acrostic in two parts CHILD ACROSTIC C: Chronological period between birth and adolescence for H: Happy and healthy development of I: Individuals in a loving and supportive social environment to L: Learn through play, pranks, joy, buddy feeling, hands-on acts, D: Drama, fantasy and creativity for holistic development of the child HOOD ACROSTIC H: Head, heart and hands be developed by providing O: Opportunities and O: Occasions that are D: Decided upon rational...

Hostel Prank Haiku and Couplets: All Fools’ Day

  Hostel Prank: All Fools’ Day   HAIKU   Late wake-ups with pranks Little stolen joys of life Washroom fights, bash-ups.  COUPLETS Sun peeks through, past sleepy eyes, A pillow fight, a giggle flies.   Toast from mess, a culprit flees, Small stolen jam, behind the trees.   The bathroom door, a banging sound, Toothpaste wars, all over the ground.   A clumsy trip, a scraped-up knee, But laughter rings, wild and free.  

FUNNY LEADERS: LIMERICK ON ALL FOOLS DAY

  FUNNY LEADERS: LIMERICK ON ALL FOOLS DAY There once was a leder named Drew, Who decided to taste some green glue. His lips made a smack, Stuck tight, front and back, Now he whistles to talk, it is true! Uncouth show-off leader Green, Lacked insight, a comical scene. On guests he would leap, Chuckling so deep, Till his pants vanished, quite unforeseen. A leader, expensively draped, Hugged and chuckled, quite widely he gaped. With clothes so grand, And watch on his hand, The best joker award he then scraped.

A PEDAGOGICAL EXPERIMENT IN TEACHING SCIENCE: A SUMMARY REPORT

Image
A PEDAGOGICAL EXPERIMENT IN TEACHING SCIENCE A science lesson dealing with the concept ‘sound is produced by vibrations’ was transacted in the format of ‘theory into action’ using Gardner ’s theory of learning based on multiple intelligences. The learning theory consists of use of seven intelligences in teaching a lesson, namely, kinesthetic (hands–on), visual, verbal, musical, logical-mathematical, inter-personal and intra-personal intelligences. For hands-on experiences, making and use of straw saxophone was done. Simple visual illustrations, flow-chart, cinquain poetry, group worksheets and individual practice sheets were used for rest of the intelligence.   Human beings have a potential to learn or analyse an experience and codify it. Furthermore, human potential consists of multiple intelligences and according to Gardner , it is of the utmost importance that we recognize and nurture all of the varied intelligences, and all their combinations.   Russell further adds ...

No War! No Kings! Cries Rent American Skies: Limericks

  No War! No Kings! Cries Rent American Skies: Limericks A world gripped by fear and dismay, As Iran and bombs held the day. "No War!" voices cried, With nowhere to hide, For peace, they would fervently pray. The White House, a powerful stage, Where Trump held a king-like rampage. "No Kings!" they did shout, To tear autocrats out, And turn a new, democratic page. The workers, their wages all shrunk, At Trump's golden tower, they all bunked. "No kings!" they now cry, As jobs start to die, And fear's bitter pill they have drunk.

Jain Pious Swastika Sign: Four Life Choices and Righteous Path

Image
  Jain Pious Swastika Sign: Four Life Choices and Righteous Path The Swastika spins, a holy sign, For a path to be truly divine. The beasts that roam, the plants that grow, An earthly pulse, delusive flow. And shadows deep, a painful sting, Where darkness dwells, and sorrows cling. Be not beast, with tooth and claw, But rise above, beyond the flaw. Be not devil, dark and cold, Let kindness bloom, a story told. Be human first, with open eyes, Then seek the stars, and paradise Then here below, the human ground, Where choices bloom, and life is found. Above, the pious, celestial light, A blissful grace, serene and white. The turning lines, a sacred sign, Four corners bright, they intertwine. Knowledge vast, a boundless sea, Perception clear, for all to see. Joy unending, a happy heart, Energy flows, a brand new start. Four pillars strong, a faith so deep, Monks and nuns, their vows to keep, Laymen too, and women kind, A community, for all to find.
