Competing with peers in ‘sorting grains’ activity and creating art using pulses and grains are fun ways of completing the activity which involves flexing of finger muscles and learning to grasp small objects.

Peace Day
To commemorate Peace day the little ones learned to make white flowers. They learnt to associate white and flowers with peace and beauty. Also, the folding of the paper helped in development of fine motor skills.

Green Day
The little ones were shown all things that are green. They were dressed in green and learned to relate various shades of green to leaves, grass and vegetables and the greenery around. Learning becomes easier through visual cues to objects around.

Independence Day
Using the colours of the Indian flag, various activities were conducted for the little ones on Independence Day. The children learnt to relate the combination of ‘Tricolour’ concept to the occasion. The impression of this activity on their young minds would connect their thoughts in the form of subconscious links, as they grow up to the spirit of patriotism.

Rakshabandhan
Celebrating the bond between brothers and sisters, the little girls tied rakhi on the tiny wrists of the little boys. They learnt to make innovative rakhis as well.

Janmashtami
Celebrating the birthday of their favourite hero, ‘Krishna’, the children were dressed up as Radhas and Krishnas. They enjoyed cradling ‘baby Krishna’ and cheered the performance of Krishna-lila and breaking of the matki.

The children celebrated the birthday of Maria Montessori, and through story-telling they were familiarized to ‘Maria Maám’ and they listened with great interest about the creator of their favourite room in school, ‘The Montessori Lab’! This was followed by an extended session in the Montessori Lab.

The theme for ‘I-care’ for August was, ‘Being Neat and Clean’. It was a simple initiation by teachers to familiarize the children with basic items of hygiene maintenance and having children participate in a brief discussion on its uses.
