In language we have to introduce one word with many meanings in visual patter.

Introduce more adjectives and similes.

A 3 year old child came into the center with natural feeling of wishing us in namaskaram posture.

A special child took each animal model and wanted to say out the name and he tried.

New bull idol was placed in the center and we wish to see how children react with the object.

I was strong in conveying that one staff and 1 helper must be inside the school before 9 A.M. Today a senior helper and a staff are late in coming which is not acceptable. It is very easy to make them to sign with timing and it is not our culture.

An infant around 1.5 year calmly took the books and explored. Children came, wished the teachers and they were exploring the objects. There is a calm environment.

Villu pattu

I saw the video and photo sessions in Sendurai.

I can see children having natural liking to see them.

Few children were much involved in answering the comprehending session.

Few were playing and few were totally observing.

After the show teachers have presented the natural art form of Tamil Nadu – villu paattu. This is being used to convey the drama of sea corals and their uses.

First I appreciate the teachers for choosing a vanishing art form.

Then I appreciated them for making few children who can focus well to take part in the performance.

The language was good and clearly conveyed.

But I suggest this for a small group.

Children observed very well.

Friday poojas to Devi

Then I also observed Friday poojas to Devi.

Each object used for sacred bath was given a very simple meaning and related with the child.

Decoration and poojas were also related with the child.

But some children are naughty and we need to be aware about it.

Wooden chariot was also pulled on this day.

All activities are being engulfed inside the absorbent mind of these infants.

TOMORROW WE HAVE GUEST FROM USA – Mr.Ripunjay Bargava and his wife Ms.Viyola. They are welcomed to see, watch and observe the system and that may help them to establish an UNI5 center in their north Indian village.

The guests were given welcome.

Children mingled with them.

First they observed every activity and then had 30 minutes meetings with all staff members. They also discussed various features about UNI5 system with me.

Ripunjay says, ‘’the system is clear and well derived. It is ready and we must take to implement.’’

They asked several valid questions and we handed over 2 materials to them.

Ripunjay says, ‘’the center has provided well diversified activities, tools to children and I have not seen anywhere. The system is being twined to one core of theory and all activities and concepts are related.’’
