School Projects:
Presently my daughter Aarya is loaded heavily with projects on all the possible subjects at school.
I am amazed by the enthusiasm with which she works on them.
I also feel guilty that I am unable to devote the time I should, to help her work on them.
She is so independent. Also the topics for the project are quite interesting and make me think...
There was one which asked to list the difference in her primary and high school... She has done a marvelous job and I loved it the most... It also taught her to appreciate both the schools and made me remember mine....
Another one was on Contribution towards betterment of the society... Few things she wrote were idealistic...
1. No Smoking
2. Respect Eleders
3. education
4. Garbage Management
But gave us points to discuss upon... we discussed how does she plan to implement those....
She realised that she has to respect elders... OK now mothers are exceptions...
She had many-a-times prepared charts on "No Smoking" and posted them on trees outside our house...
She does not allow us to throw garbage out of the car windows, especially if it is not bio-degradable...
Education is one thing she needs to think upon.. as to how she can contribute...
There was one on Ancient Indian civilizations... Now that one was my favorite so I contributed a bit more...
Aarya loved it too... We have promised to read the Meluha together in one of the vacations to experience the civilization then....
One more project was on family tree... That was one on which we argued and argued hard...
She insisted on snaps of each relation .... mausi, mama, bua, phuphaji, etc...
It was hard explaining her that it is okay if she does not paste a few snaps...
like she does not have a mausaji...
She insisted on one.... else the teacher shall give her less marks...
I wonder if that is the case... For I know of single parents who would find it difficult to get the entire branch listed...
I am sure the schools these days are sensitive towards these issues and would not insist on such things...
Then there was one in which they had to use palm cutouts of each family member and write 5 things which that family member likes and 5 things which are common in her and that family member... Again we enjoyed listing down the things... Taking prints of oviee's palm was the cutest of them all...
All said and done... school projects can be considered as a burden or used as an opportunity to interact with your child...
I generally am not good at these things... but enjoyed it this time....
