Sunday Regular - 17 Jun '07

Shilpa and I landed up by 3 at V...

Usual hi, hellos... a quick chat with nagarathna, with some sharing of info, material etc. Shilpa had collected on clinical research and other course/career options that she can pursue given her interest in science... i believe, nagarathna will go on to take nursing in any case... clinical research apparently is a course option after nursing... but we will have to wait and watch how things pan out for her...

I had a quick chat with kalavathi (the warden) to figure out the student distribution across classes... apparently, there are 3 in 3rd standard... 1 in 4th... 4 in 5th standard, another 1 in 6th... i asked the other numbers as well, but promptly forgot...

shilpa, in the meanwhile, got to talking wiht jeevitha (8th standard)... she has apparently written some songs... i'm not sure if it is her own writing, she is even supposed to have given it some music... that's quite surprising... but probably, shilpa can throw more light on it... she sat with jeevitha and made her sing those songs... and he was generally chatting with jeevitha and other kids, getting familiar with the place and with the kids... shilpa, it would be good if you can share your experience as well...

during this time, i decided to do my reading assessment or whatever with the 3rd standard... harshita, pavana and pavithra... harshita was pretty good with her reading... she was able to read quite fluently and even figure out most of the unfamiliar words too on her own... the other two were distinctly behind in their reading... pavana, for instance could read is, has, what... but was unable to read 'was', inspite of my trying to show the connection with other similar sounding words etc... pavithra was also struggling with the words...

i'd to however, soon, let them go... i'd started a li'l late after catching up with nagaratna and others in general... and 4 o' clock, of course, the movie time starts... so had to let them go...

shilpa left for home, the kids went for the movie and i moved on to my tryst with mathematics, along with keerthi...
