Happy Children's Day

It was like celebrating Children's Day when I visited Rio Grande, a Kindergarten School in Santa Fe, with my co-Fulbrighter Ms.Shohini. I played, danced and enjoyed there on Tuesday .
It was a part of exposing the kids to the International Culture The Class teachers ( Katy and Anna) invited us to celebrate India Day in their class room. We taught them stories about Hindu gods and all of them were curious to know about elephant headed 'Ganesha', flute playing 'Krishna' and ten handed 'Kali'. Girls are asked to tie 'brotherhood band' to boys and boys decorated the girls with 'Bindi'. We all danced to the steps of Shohini who taught them a nature song and I made them do boogie woo gee to an action song. The 4/5 year old kids enjoyed each moment.
It was a wonderful experience to spend time with tiny kids and it provided an opportunity to see the curriculum, schedule and innovative techniques of the American Primary Classes of a rich private school.

I extend the greetings from the Algebra II students of H.N.T.H.S, with whom I shared the details of Children's Day today.
Happy Children's Day .
