Himanshu and Sachin visited Jakhadhar from 18th to 21st December and were happy to find good weather up in the mountains. Old snow was there up on the higher ridges (just a few days back there was a snow fall) but down in the valley, it was balmy- clear sky, soothing sun and peaceful landscape to horizon..
We conducted a random written test, which everyone has done well at, but it has also brought up the need for more revision. Sachin taught calculating square root of a number by the division method to class 4 and 5. We joined the mid day meal with children and saw them taking more than one helping. It was fun time. We showed the children Robinson Crusoe film, since there is a lesson about him in the English text book of class five. We also showed the children a movie about the birth of Jesus and discussed the core message of his life and teachings, since Christmas is round the corner.
We shared following movies also with staff and children:
Hichki : about Tourette syndrome and class room interactions.
Stanley ka dibba: about problems of "working children" when they do join a school.
Both were touching and very relevant movies for people associated with education.
One day, we had a staff meeting over "chai-pakodi"! The new guru ji (virendra sir) is doing fine.
PS: Chain Singh Guru ji has lost his youngest sister in a road accident in Roorkee... Our Heartfelt condolences and prayers for the family.
