a visit to the prayaas school
first time i went on my own to prayaas school
had taken some pointers from sweta (batti) as to wat is to be done there :o)
reached there at around 5:45 in the evening
there were around 27 children today n 3 teachers
all the children were huddled around the teachers....some with slates...some
with notebooks
some were having petty quarrels with the one sitting next to him/her regarding
who has written the alphabet correctly
some of the senior students were helping the younger ones with the numbers and the letters
i sat near them n just watched for some time (could not understand most of the
letters :o))
then one of the students sahdev was trying to get the teacher's attention to
show him A to Z
i checked it and told him "saras che" :o)
at around 6 PM the guy from CT sukhdip came
he had got the milk and the biscuits
chatted with him for some time
talked to chandrika bhen for some time....today the children would be having
their drawing classes
after that , they would have the daily dose of physical education followed by
national anthem and devotional song(s)
when the drawin class started, now there was something i could also involve myself in
but while i was thinking how to involve myself, this kid called yogesh comes to
me with a beautiful drawing of two flowers, fully coloured
i told him..."mast hai...saras che" :o)
he goes back, smiling
i follow him and involve myself with the other kids with their drawings
help out a couple with drawing jugs and table lamps
stop a couple from tracing the drawings from the text book :o)
its fun, feels like u r back to school, primary school :o)
i talked to sahdev, rashmi, vishal, yogesh, prakash, and was also introduced to
yogesh's and prakash's smaller brother ghanshyam :o) (i think i am good at
remembering names :o))
then the PT session started
their was no synchrony, but the everyone was trying :o)
the national anthem was sung, we all stood up
then some devotional songs ( i personally am against devotional songs of any
kind in schools but then that is my personal opinion)
then milk n biscuits were served...i too helped with the serving
came back at around 7
but the best part of the day was....when i was helping the children with the
drawing....n sahdev asked me.....u will come again tomoro right ?
i will surely try to go
its a great feeling to see these children study, play, draw, sing
cant define it....one has to feel it to know it
P.S. Plz excuse the gramatical mistakes n the mistakes in tenses....was early in the morning...without sleep when i wrote this :o)
