Visiting the Rio Grande Kindergarten School in Santa Fe felt like celebrating Children's Day, especially alongside my co-Fulbrighter, Ms. Shohini. We had a delightful time playing, dancing, and enjoying the day on Tuesday.
As part of exposing the children to international culture, class teachers Katy and Anna invited us to celebrate India Day in their classroom. We shared stories about Hindu gods, and the kids were eager to learn about Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity; Krishna, who plays the flute; and Kali, known for her ten arms. The girls tied 'brotherhood bands' on the boys, while the boys decorated the girls with 'Bindi' stickers.
We all danced to the steps Shohini demonstrated, as she taught them a nature song. I also got them moving with an action song called "Boogie Woogie." The four- and five-year-olds thoroughly enjoyed every moment.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience to spend time with such young children. It also provided an insightful opportunity to observe the curriculum, schedule, and innovative teaching techniques used in American primary education at a prestigious 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 .
