Thank Them, Not Me!!!

By the local corespondent Inaya Sinha

Hello I had a great grade 1 all because of my teachers. Every unit we had an end of unit reflection so I decided to have an end of year reflection.

Now let me walk you through my year. Our first activity was when we wrote our names on a piece of paper and our teachers tried to guess our names. It was actually pretty easy for them because they could see our names on our papers. And this year we had 6 units! Usually we have 4. Our units were behavior, celebrations, public areas, space, trade and waste. And in every one, we did some sort of project either as a group or by ourselves.

Our teachers always plan something fun, especially in the last week of school we did lots of activities. For example, miss would tell us to draw shapes. She did not tell us the measurement of those shapes and in the end she would tell us what we were supposed to draw. And when she ran out of ideas, she chose one kid to be the leader. He or she would tell the other kids to draw shapes to make something else. I, Inaya Sinha was the leader. I made them draw a cat.

And one day my teachers read us a story called The Gruffallow. Then, a few days later we drew the setting of the story.

I have a computer and I know how to use it thanks to my ICT teachers. And I am flexible because my yoga teacher taught me yoga. And my homeroom teachers taught me all sorts of subjects like math, english and UOI.

I am fit because of my PE teacher. Even though I don’t know much Marathi I know a little bit. And when I started out I did not even know my veangun but now because of my Hindi teacher I even started reading 2-3 letter words.

Now and then my drama teacher does give me some dramatic moments but she is still very fun. And art! Where do I begin! It is just so creative. I have improved a lot since I started. I just love dance because we move around a lot and we use our space. LRC is wonderful.. you get to hear so many stories. It takes us to a whole new world. I had completely forgotten how to play the keyboard, but music class brought my music back.

Our teachers taught us to thank garbage men, medics, cooks but there is one group of people that nobody thanks, can you guess? YES OUR TEACHERS! They work very hard to teach us no matter how naughty we are and even if our parents are being sleepy heads our teachers wake up early in the morning just to teach us. They have taught me so many concepts I did not know before.

So a big thank you to all my teachers for making our year so special!

And we must also thank our Principal Mrs. Pinto! She was able to got all of us together.. the teachers and the students.. so that we could have so much fun and learn so much together even though there was a pandemic all around us!

If your parents say thank you so much for learning then tell them don’t thank me, thank my teachers! They taught me everything I know today!
