Thoughtfulness and Understanding - Shalini Solanki

When implemented, little thought can bring big changes in ourselves, others, and the world. Emotions, care, empathy, belongingness, togetherness, and respect take birth from thoughtfulness and understanding. To feel for someone or something, one must think, relate and understand. Our day-to-day experiences make us think about anything and everything, which helps us to help others. 

We have a wonderful birthday return gift policy in our school. The birthday boy/girl can give the return gift to nature. Nature has made us, and we can return something to it. According to our school policy, the birthday child can plant a sapling in the school garden and watch it grow with them. This makes them realize their responsibility of keeping the environment safe, green, and secure.

 

Recently there was a birthday in my class, and this child got the sapling in the pot. I asked her to come along and plant the same in the school garden, and she requested me to keep it outside the classroom in the corridor as it will receive the required sunlight and air. She also promised me that she will take care of that sapling and water it on regular basis. Other students said that photosynthesis will happen just outside the classroom. They were very excited and linked it with their prior knowledge. Now the next question, which was asked the birthday girl was if she is absent on any day or for days, who will take care and water the sapling? She thought and asked her peers. Almost everyone got ready to help her. It is just a wonderful feeling to share that we are able to keep our promise and not only the birthday girl, but the entire class takes care of it. This small thoughtfulness has brought unexpected changes to my class. These children at this young age are not only trying to save nature but learning to help each other. Also, understanding the academic concepts clearly.

We want to Study, Need TABLETS

For the underprivileged girls from slums of Jaipur having to manage with borrowed smartphones, lack of internet connection, and insufficient data usage facility online classes are a difficult task. Due to COVID 19, Vimukti Girls School, Jaipur, like many other schools, is temporarily closed. The school is conducting online classes. However, several factors have made it tough for girls to make effective use of this opportunity. Unavailability of mobile devices with many of the girls, limited access to parent’s phone if available, availability of phone not matching with the schedule for online classes, etc., means that the girls are either unable to attend the classes or not able to do so effectively and regularly. Unavailability of phones during the day also prevents them from self st...

Sharmila Vijaywargi: The Best Gift

Once upon a time, there was a teacher in a little village school. Like all teachers, she too loved her students very much. She wanted them to become wonderful children. On the occasion of their teachers' birthday, every child planned to give her little gift.

One student gave her a handkerchief, another gave her a bag. Yet another gave her a book. Robert, the brightest child in the class who was very poor, had nothing to give to his teacher.

The teacher noticed the sad look on Robert's face. She told the whole class “Children thank you for all the gifts. I like each one of you. Do you know who has given me the best gift? It is Robert. All children looked at her surprisingly.

The teacher then said, "Do you know what he has given me? He always listens to everything which I say, does his work neatly and helps his friends. This is the best gift any child can give to a teacher. He is a wonderful child." Every one clapped for Robert. It made him very happy.

He always listens to everything which I say, does his work neatly and helps his friends. This is the best gift any child can give to a teacher.

Farewell Gift for Student Graduates

I sincerely feel the study of How To Win Friends And Influence People is most beneficial to all irrespective of one's cast, age, sex or profession. I wish all schools present it as a Gift to outgoing students of the senior most class but am facing difficulties in persuading Principals to do it. 

I seek help in this matter from book lovers.

The genius is within

Every child is gifted, as teachers, mentors, parents and those who have the responsibility to help us learn need to find the 'gift in the child'.

Jacob Barnett, 14-Year-Old With Asperger's Syndrome, May Be Smarter Than Einstein
When Jacob Barnett was 2 years old, he was diagnosed with moderate to severe autism. Doctors told his parents that the boy would likely never talk or read and would probably be forever unable to independently manage basic daily activities like tying his shoe laces. But they were sorely, extraordinarily mistaken.
