Mrs. Vidya Shankar, Founder of the Relief Foundation, spoke to parents and teachers about Montessori. In a talk titled "How to be an ally for your Montessori child", Mrs Shankar outlined the ways a adult must transform themselves in order to help their Montessori child achieve fulfillment. She stressed the need for an alignment between the home and the school and encouraged moms to form Montessori study circles. Mrs Shankar strongly discouraged TV or any screen time, highlighting the dangers of these activities. Parents asked a number of questions about discipline, home activities, TV and appropriate books.

Workshop on Terrarium design
Superb workshop on making a terrarium by Sr Reema today. Completely hands on - children got to make terrariums in groups with beautiful plants as Reema gave instructions. The overall effect was lovely - elegant pebbles surrounding the baby plants - and eco friendly - waste water bottles were reused into pots.
JazakAllah khair Sr Reema.
