Pimpo!!! Alien- Trupti Aunty's group

Yesterday a ficticious character was introduced to the class as Pimpo the Alien. Yesterday Pimpo had given us some special task of sorting out and keeping the toys in their relevant boxes. All the genies were told that Pimpo had recorded his voice on a tape and had sent it for us. As i turned on the tape with Pimpo's voice coming from it, it was fun to see little genies peeping inside the tape recorder to find Pimpo inside. They even talked to him through the speakers.
Today we were all waiting for Pimpo to come to our class and we were wondering how he must be looking etc, and as i turned on a tape on a smaller tape recorder (not visible to the genies), they really were taken by surprise that Pimpo was really talking to them from some corner of the room. Since Pimpo was telling us a story today, it was indeed fun to watch all the genies trying hard to listen to the story.
We are still wondering if Pimpo will come to our class tomorrow.....

Girija Aunty -2-3 years - 11th Feb -15th Feb-MASTI

Hi,
Last week was our sports week and each day our little genies explored and experienced different games.  The games which they enjoyed most was rolling on the beds and pillows. From the word go they were on the bed some rolling it out , jumping on it , lying down  requesting to switch off the lights etc. After all the exploration we decided to play a different game and set up the bed as slides. They all waited for their turns and one by one they were climbing up and enjoying themselves. One little genie was so excited she kept saying kitna masti hai na??  Another little one said aunty aap bait jaon hum akale khelange!!! Some much so for facilitation....
 
 
Thanks

Aunty why don't you take medicine?- Trupti Aunty

Today the genies in my session wanted to know why I did not come yesterday and when I answered them in a croaky voice that i was having a bad throat and could not talk, i could see concern written on their faces. Then after a while one little genie came to me and said, " Aunty, when my mother is not well she goes to the doctor and takes medicine. Why don't you do the same?" I was touched by the concern expressed by this genie and told her that I had already done that so that I could come back to school today and have fun with them. All genies said that they missed me yesterday. I was touched by their response and it surely will motivate me to keep taking the bitter medicine for a few more days so that I get to enjoy  the company of my little genies everyday.

Churning curd-Trupti Aunty's Group

Today a little genie came in in the morning asking me why was there a picture of buttermilk on the board outside? I kept saying to them that it is a surprise and the genies waited and guessed what it would be till after the snacks break.
We then opened two dabbas of curd, put the contents in a big bowl and churned away for some time. We saw how the curd was changing and now looking like cake batter to some little genie. We then added a little salt and water to it and enjoyed our khara lassi asking for a second helping as well. Even those little genies who had refused to take it in the first round gave in to temptation and asked for a helping when the others were having a second glass. We really had a nice experience with the churner today.

Shivani Aunty- 2-3yrs- Of strong muscles and soft hearts !! - 13-2-08

Was on leave for two days since I was not keeping well. Hadn't met khojis since last friday and was feeling a huge void in the last two days, we really missed eachother!!! Today was realy nice when I got to see them in the morning, One little khoji who never wanted to join Shivani aunty's class came running in the morning with a bright smile and gave the most loving hug!! A big thanks to her for making space for me in her heart
Our day was interesting as we churned curds and sang a song with three languages in it. We also had fun with  our feedo activity and playing and trying to catch balls. During that time somebody tore our feedo ( teddy bear) to whom we were feeeding colorful balls ( which were lollipops). Suddenly there was an  air of concern for feedo, followed by a meeting by the khojis, of the khojis, for the khojis. Analysis, of how feedo was torn, of what happens when we don't take care of our things...Solutions of how to repair it and expressing emotions and sadness for feedo was all a part  of the discussion.
Our day ended on a happy note with lots of fun trying to catch the ball in handcups.... As we were leaving one khoji showed his strong muscles and said -'Aunty you can hang on these muscles' and when I tried , he dismissed me as being too big  :) The offer was still worth try....

Girija Aunty-2-3 years-Pottery

Hi
Yesterday we explored clay in a different way. Initially everybody took clay and started making balls and chapattis and making snakes. Then Aunty asked then aunty showed them a machine and asked them how we can use this machine and clay. For which they kept looking at the machine and looked at it up down etc trying to connect it . Then I switched on the machine and kept some clay on it and slowly one child said " yeh to woh uncle ne kiya tha"". Slowly one by one they started talking about how uncle put water and how he gave us the pot. They tried to make their pots but they realized their machine was very slow.
 
they all enjoyed exploring clay.

Girija Aunty- Welcome

Hi,
For the whole of last week I was waiting out to welcome our little genies in the morning. Each day we are doing something different. The look of expectation in the eyes of our genies made me want to do something different everyday. One day I kept two carton boxes through which they had to pass. Some of them had big bags with them so they could not pass through it . Suddenly one little genie said like in the airport I can pass my bag first ( my thought she connected it to the conveyor belt) and then she moved in  others followed. But it was nice to see them think without any help.  Great way to go !!!!
