Adjectives and a dose of confidence- 2017

We do this every year when we teach adjectives. We ask kids to come up with words that describe them. We also ask them to write down words for their friends anonymously. Then all words are pooled later and we tell them what others think of them. This acts as a big confidence-booster. They usually stick the pic on their study table to remind themselves constantly that they are so good.


When you teach adjectives at home, use the positive ones for them to frame sentences and see their little faces glow with pride. An over-dose of confidence like this does no harm.


The world is always going to tell the kids they are not good. Let them know how good they actually are. Let them feel good about themselves.


They will do good when they know they are good.

Here they are:

Dino world- by Namay

"Once upon a time in Dino world, there were two dinosaurs. Their names were Raptor and T-Rex. One day, they were doing some thing. Suddenly from the sky two robots came, and the two robots and the two dinosaurs started to fight. The two dinosaurs won because the T-Rex held the two robots with his hands and threw them.

The end."

(Namay is a 6-year old dreamer, writer, artist. He loves to play, read books and write short stories.)

From slaps to claps- a poem

Not all children can read, write and perform in the same way. We have our own strengths and weaknesses. Einstein understood this and explained how our current education system is like putting a fish, a monkey, a snake, an elephant in the same classroom to judge their performance abilities by asking all of them to climb a tree!

We put an artist, a dancer, a scientist, a player, a singer, a reader in the same class and ask all of them to read and write in the same way. Do we put all of them in a dance competition and expect all of them to dance in the same way? No. But we do that when it comes to performance of letters and numbers on paper.

Our kids have started understanding this. They've tried writing a poem to express their understanding. Here are few:

African folktale- By Advait P

(Advait has shown great interest in global folk tales, infecting all of us too with the same enthusiasm)

Deadly Dragons- By Advaith Iyer

About the reviewer:
Advaith loves reading books. He believes in calling a spade a spade. He doesn't beat around the bush. He is very polite even when he disagrees. This is one of his biggest strengths.
