Role of a teacher/As a teacher.....<br />

I do not know anything more fulfilling than being a<br />

Montessori Educator. I believe that investing in young<br />

lives is a calling and this gives a great sense of<br />

purpose to one’s life. It has liberated me from all<br />

kinds of prejudice that I had about children. My<br />

journey as a Montessorian at Anweshana has been a<br />

pleasant one thus far. The way children evolve has<br />

always made me wonder and has challenged my<br />

principles and proven me wrong over and again!<br />

Working with children has humbled me as a person<br />

and has enabled me to become a better parent. The<br />

changing traits in the children, at different stages, is<br />

just like the metamorphosis of a butterfly. In each<br />

period, we rediscover a growing being, but one who is<br />

quite different every time. I have been blessed to<br />

witness such transformation in my children and every<br />

child whom I have touched has loved me immensely<br />

and that’s what keeps me going. The best thing about<br />

being an educator is that you get to laugh every<br />

single day!<br />

My Journey At Anweshana<br />

When I joined Anweshana I was in Chrysanthemum. I<br />

had two friends, Harshita and Lara. My Aunties were<br />

Dhanalakshmi aunty and Reshmi aunty. There were<br />

25 children in Chrysanthemum. My Favourite activity<br />

was the spindle box.<br />

I like to wear colour dress every day. I then went to<br />

Aster. I still had Lara as my friend. In Aster we use to<br />

have our snack at 10:30A.M. In Aster my favourite<br />

activity was antonyms.<br />

On June 6th, 2018 I went to Dandelion. In Dandelion<br />

my friends are Ritisha and Harshita. I still miss my<br />

aunties.<br />

There are many trees in Anweshana.<br />

Christmas<br />

We celebrate Christmas, because Jesus was born on<br />

that day.<br />

We celebrated Christmas on Dec-21 because holidays<br />

started from Dec-22. We went to school around 9:00<br />

clock. There were some orphanage children coming.<br />

We had to present some materials to them. I<br />

presented Mesopotamian Civilization. This was there<br />

till 11:00 O clock. Then there was cultural program till<br />

12:00 O clock.<br />

Then it was lunch time. We had got one extra lunch<br />

box because they were coming. We had lunch. Then<br />

we went out to play. When we came back it was<br />

around 1:15. It was time for them to go. So we did a<br />

type of quiz.<br />

E.g. If they tell paint a picture of football ground, we<br />

had to act it. Now it was time to leave so we left.<br />

If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men. - Dr Maria Montessori
