1st September

The students today complete their math Summative assessment on Place value and Number systems. They also wrote brief reflections - it was great to know that the students liked the idea of using new ways to assess rather than the conventional ones! They also found it 'Challenging' and 'fun'!

In English, the students worked on completing their 'Thank you' cards. They did the entire writing process for the note inside the card (Planning, Drafting, Editing and Publishing). As it is the beginning of the year, the students are writing many drafts so that they can clearly know what and how to improve in. Each draft is checked by me and I tell the student what corrections (content modification, paragraphing, grammar, spellings, structure, etc.) to be made for the next draft.

In UOI, the students were given a graphic organizer to reflect on the movie "Fame". As few students had missed the movie, snippets from the movie were played again and discussed.

Happy Janmashtmi to you all!

Wonderful efforts by the class and teacher. Srijaa is completely enjoying her class. Wonderful work. Thank you. Is there a way that a live feed on to the class can be hooked up with access to the parents? This is just so that we could also see the complete interaction of our child during the class. It would be a wonderful experience for us. I guess others would agree? Only if this is not too much of an effort from your end. Anyways thanks for everything you're doing. It's wonderful to have such lovely teachers who are passionate about kids and their betterment. Thank you Ms.Archana on this Teacher's Day.

Thanks a tonne for the appreciation Mr. Kadiyala! It is but your encouragement that helps me go that extra mile.. :)

As per your suggestion.. it is definitely a wonderful idea! It will be an ultimate experience for all of us!

How about I upload videos on a regular basis about the activities in the class? You may follow my blog and you will immediately know about my updates.. This way you can have a closer look at your child's (and their peers') communication skills on a regular basis..?

Let me know what you think. You can also have a look at my last year's blog and view the videos uploaded.. its: www.grade5iish.blogspot.com

I too like this idea of live feed. Should be done as often as feasible and interesting
