Current Experiments
Currently, I am involved in the following activities at
Shishukunj International School, Bhuj. You can read more about the particular activity by clicking on the title.
Subject Teaching
I teach Gujarati as a second language to 3rd Grade students. Here I try to explore the 'whole language approach' which makes the language learning experience relevant, fun and creative.
Creative Computing
I try to build an environment where students explore the creative use of technology. I use MIT Scratch (Programing language for kids) as a tool that fosters computational thinking, Problem Solving, and creativity.
Club
Ecobuddy Club
Here we try to develop sensitivity towards nature and awareness about our action and its consequences. We do a nature walk, cleanup drives, theater, film making, documentary watching, plastic upcycling, running eco store and building cardboard furniture.
Initiatives
Park library (Toral Garden - Bhuj)
Every Sunday we go to the park with a bag full of books. Kids enjoy reading age-appropriate, colorful books, and storytelling sessions.
