From the Principal’s Desk Mr. Harish Sanduja Reading and comprehension speed of children is a good parameter to project the learning trajectory of children. So we must pay due attention to reading speed of our student. Dear Parents, Education is the key that opens doors of Independence. As parents we sometimes are perplexed about how to handle our kids.I feel that as parents we are the role models for our children. We must be aware that generally we provide following types of environments for children at home. •
Judgemental Environment: This is the time when we are in a teaching mode with our children and continue to access their progress and behaviour. Sometimes this environment never ceases to end. At all times children remain under strict inspections and assessment. Example: Child may be doing something and we will take it as teaching moment and we may associate our goals along with the experience that child is going through to make sure that child learns. Mostly we are also successful in teaching and judging if the child has learnt what he or she was intended to do by our interactions as parents.
•
Non Judgemental Environment : This environment is mostly there when children play amongst themselves in a park or if they play with grandparents or try to teach them something that they have learnt in the class or from their mother. In this environment children are more confident and imitate what they might have learnt in a Judgemental environment. As parents we may not like this environment much but it is a must for children and we should make an effort to give this non Judgemental environment to children as in this environment the learnings are deeper.

My Birla Kindergarten
•
Content Consumer Environment: Here the child uses the content of Youtube, Cartoon Network or a gaming platform in this environment the biggest danger is that the child uses mostly visual stimuli and does not get the opportunity to speak or express. Younger children who are passing through the age of Linguistic skill development this turns out to be very dangerous as they lose out on the opportunity of using words to associate them to make sentences and express themselves. This may lead to a child who is less expressive.
I feel that parents have to be aware of these types of environments and make sure that we provide the first two more often than the third one. Warm Regards Mr.Harish Sanduja Academic Director - Principal

KG – CURRICULUM HIGHLIGHTS New Learning Through Thematic Approach During their kindergarten stage 2 at school, it becomes extremely important for stu- dents to develop the right attitude, a willingness to learn and an understanding of the world around them. The Curriculum has been designed to nurture multiple intelligenc- es like linguistic or verbal intelligence, logical or mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, sports, and music to focus on all areas of child development. They need to know, understand and develop the ability to experiment, explore and discover as part of their schooling across all the areas of learning. To develop the characteristics of effective learning these key characteristics are es- sential for becoming an independent learner.

My Birla Kindergarten
At this Kindergarten level, your child will be learning to develop social, language, physical and academic skills. Your child will be learning these skills, acquiring knowledge and demonstrating their understanding through these areas of Learning and development. Children should mostly develop 3 prime areas : Personal, Social and Emotional Development:
Personal, social and emotional development are possibly the most prime areas of learning in the Kindergarten stage 2. This is the age at which children learn the skills they need, to become actively involved in the world around them. Personal development is about how children come to understand who they are and what they can do. Social development covers how children come to understand themselves in relation to others, how they make friends, understand the rules of society and behave towards others. Emotional development concerns how children understand their own and others’ feelings and develop their ability to be empathetic – to see things from another person’s point of view. Language and Communication: Early language and communication skills are crucial for children’s success in school and beyond. Language and communication skills include the ability to understand others and express oneself using words, gestures, or facial expressions. Children who develop strong language and communication skills are more likely to arrive at school ready to learn.
25
My Birla Kindergarten
Physical Development:
Physical Development aims to develop a child’s movement and handling skills. At this age, the child is steadily growing and developing. Staying physically active during this developmental phase will strengthen the fundamental skills needed to lead a healthy and active life as an adult. The fine and gross motor development is an essential part of the child’s physical growth and wellbeing. The child needs to obtain a proper pencil grip and to develop this fine motor skill the activities like drawing, cutting, coloring, and pasting are really helpful.The gross motor skills include eye-hand coordination, run, jump, skip, hop and throw, catch and kick the ball. These prime areas are the most essential for your child’s healthy development and future learning. As children grow, the prime areas will help them to develop skills in the specific areas given below. These are: English/ Literacy Math/ Numeracy EVS/ Knowing the World
26
My Birla Kindergarten
English/ Literacy Learning at any level should be fun, but during early years, the fun learning can give lifelong benefits to children, because they can express themselves more capable, they can listen more attentively and they have a broader vocabulary to understand what is being said to them. Their hand-eye coordination is better and so writing skills become easier for them. They are already on the way to successfully in acquire literacy skills. Handwriting The children of Kindergarten follow the Marion Richardson Script.
27
My Birla Kindergarten
This script is well known in the area of writing development. This handwriting requires movement of hand and arm which is easy for children, so young. In KG 1, students start with attempts to draw patterns and shapes with the help of thick crayons, and slowly graduate to pencils depending on individual pace. By the time they are in KG2, they start to work more with pencils on ruled sheets with 4 lines for each row. The process of handwriting is made interesting by introducing the patterns such as up down, standing lines, sleeping line, lumpy and bumpy patterns in a story form. Children enjoy these links and take positively to the task of writing a pattern on sand and grains. We have high expectations about the way your child should present her/his work and encourage him/her to have a sense of pride in it. For students who tend to require more time in attaining proper letter formation, tasks are adjusted accordingly wherever possible. At the same time, a constant and consistent effort is maintained to guide the child towards strengthening of handwriting skills.
28
My Birla Kindergarten
Math/ Numeracy Numeracy involves skills that aren’t always taught in the classroom – the ability to use numbers and solve problems in real life. It means having the confidence and skill to use numbers and mathematical approaches in all aspects of life. Numeracy is as important as literacy. In fact, it's sometimes called ‘mathematical literacy’. We need both skills to function in modern life.
EVS/ Knowing the World “Knowing the world”, is concerned with the exploration, investigation, and development of an understanding of the natural, human, social and cultural dimensions of local and wider environments. It provides opportunities to engage in active learning, to use a wide range of skills, and to acquire open, critical and responsible attitudes. Each EVS subject plays a distinctive role in fulfilling the aims and objectives of this curriculum area. Me and My Plant
Children take pleasure in sowing seeds, watch them grow and take their plants home with pride.
29
My Birla Kindergarten
Morning Togetherness It’s a time to be together early in the morning to start the day with a prayer inculcating values through morning talks.Children also learn a number of various action songs and dances related to the topics held in the classroom. They learn discipline, physical exercise, listen to important announcements, inculcate public speaking and gain encouragement by receiving awards in front of all through our morning assemblies.
Parent Morning Parents also involving the Morning Assembly which is called as Parent Morning. Parents will asked to coordinate the Class Assembly under the guidence of class teachers. Students will be able to showcase their hidden talents with parents support through the parent mornings virtually. Note: Due to current situation all the assemblies are conducted virtually.
Circle Time During Circle time we give ourstudents a sense of community with other kids of their age and enhance their social skills and improve their attention span. We believe that starting with circle time helps to introduce the topics and plans for the day.
30
My Birla Kindergarten
Through Fingers and Paint
The children in school enjoy arts and crafts. They learn to draw by following the step by step instructions given by the teacher. Children learn to create and draw patterns and mix colors. Through art and craft activities children are given an opportunity to use their imagination and creativity.
Story Enactments Enactment or a play can be defined as a type of play where children are assigned roles, and then act them out. It is a time when they break through the walls of reality, pretend to be someone or something different from themselves, and dramatize situations and actions to go along with the roles they have been assigned to. This remains an integral part of the developmental learning process by allowing children to develop skills, like being confident, exposure to perform according to ability etc. Field Trips The field trips are organized to give students educational experiences away from their regular school environment. Students visit different educational facilities to learn in a more hands-on and interactive manner than they do in school. The field trips exposures children to the world and helps to explore and learn about the things in the environment and their neighborhood. Note: Due to current situation the field trips are conducted virtually.
31
My Birla Kindergarten
Speech with Flair Poetry allows kids to put language to use. They learn new words and it becomes a medium for expressing ideas and emotions. Children learn to actively participate in the poems through actions and expression. It helps them to develop communication skills as they gain fluency of language. Playing with my friends –On Campus Virtually . The games are planned by the teachers, these are the structured games in which the child has to understand and follow the rules of the games. The child will learn to wait for his turn and develop the team spirit. Once the school starts functioning regularly children also gets to play in the play area every day. Besides, we have ‘Play Corner’ for our children where they pretend and play as adults in the kitchen, hospital, shopping mall, bank, etc.
32
My Birla Kindergarten
Keeping Fit
Through physical education, the teacher aims to develop students' physical competence and knowledge of movement and safety, and their ability to use these to perform in a wide range of activities associated with the development of an active and healthy lifestyle.
Technique Towards Self – Defence
Through the Karate lessons, we focus on helping children to learn at an early age the principles of self-respect, respect for others, self-control, and violence prevention strategies. The teacher teaches the basic techniques or fundamentals of karate movements.
Sing in Tunes
Music is a very practical subject, in which the making and creating of music through using voices, singing, using instruments and technologies is central to a child's learning experiences. We teach children to sing in their daily assemblies and in the classroom according to the topic done in class.

Mementos for KG 1 Achievers We award KG 1 students with mementos at the end of their academic year to give them the foundation of confidence and self-esteem to conquer more in their near future.

Awards Students will be awarded with token of appreciation for the best behavior in the class. Children will be encouraged in their respective classes for their tremendous progress for nonacademic activities on a day to day basis or as required. The certificates will be given by the Class teachers to the children every alternate month (4 times in a year).
Star of the Week This great incentive is used to help build the classroom community and allow students to get to know one another. During the school year, each student will have the opportunity to be the Star Student for an entire week. Being a Star Student is more than just having a fancy title for a week. Our Star Student is given special privileges and opportunities to celebrate how special he or she is.

Attendance Matters The attendance rate is important because students are more likely to succeed in academics when they attend school consistently. It's difficult for the teacher and the class to build their skills and progress if a large number of students are frequently absent. To encourage regular attendance, we have monthly attendance award for the class and for the child at the end of the year for 100% attendance. Note: Due to current situation the attendance award has been suspended till further notice. For additional events, please refer to the school Almanac
