experiences trigger learning

Amazing how nature maintains its pristine identity. Seasons change as per schedule. Spring has launched itself in North America, albeit with some cold gusts of wind where I live. Birds are chirping. Dandelions are spreading their yellow splendor in the green. The evergreen foliage is taking on a new freshness. Leaves have started sprouting on branches. Signs of spring vary in other parts of the world too.

​I can hardly stop marveling at how everything in creation is untouched…. except the human race.  Lots of lessons have come our way, deeply affecting and altering our thinking and existence. Human beings have held the earth hostage for too long. Now Earth is simply returning the compliment.
Learning is a by-product of exposure to any stimulus. This lockdown may have had its dark moments but it is almost as if children are being given an upgrade to deal with calamities like the one we are going through. My little granddaughter left a package on my doorstep along with an endearing note. When I opened the little carton, I found some of her favourite ‘stuffies’ in it. 

She also called me to assure me that she had sanitized all the little stuffed toys in the box. 
And here is her endearing note.

​ We are well into Ramadan. Hopefully children have been adding to their database of emotions, learning greater empathy, a spirit of giving, more forbearance, a recognition and value for all that they are blessed with as compared to their lesser fortunate counterparts around the world.  One prays that they grow up into a cleaner, more compassionate, more tolerant tomorrow!

There is no dearth of interesting material available these days to keep children engaged. The Ramadan Special Activity Journal below can be accessed by anyone who would like some assistance in this area. It may be of help to children in the age group of 6-8 years.
