Edelweiss School July 2013 Newsletter Update

Posted on July 10th, by AlphaBet Club in charity, edelweiss, newsletter. No Comments

The Edelweiss school has a brand new location!  Due to the unfortunate removal of the BTM Layout slum where the school was initially situated, it was decided to relocate the school as the attendance at Edelweiss would eventually have dropped. Edelweiss is now located in Tilak Nagar where it will continue to provide its services to bright and eager children.

The “Re-launch Ceremony of Edelweiss School” was celebrated on the 8th of July 2013 and was attended by  many people, known to the AlphaBet Club and Building Blocks.  The ceremony was simple, with the ribbon cutting and the traditional lighting of the lamp.  Everyone attending wished us success for the future!

July is the 2nd month of the school year. Children will receive 9 more months of fun-filled education and nutrition. The total enrollment is 96 and average attendance per day is 83. Meals served this month were 2,770.

LEARNING FOCUS:

The kids were taught how to wash their hands and brush their teeth. The teachers have started using the Brillkids – Little Math, Little Reader and Little Musician for the kids to learn all the basic concepts. In Science, the kids were taught about themselves, how to colour and how to count. The children also receive physical education during their playtime.

In Genki English, they learned to say – “What time is it?”, “what’s your name?” and “How are you?” Under Jolly Phonics, the children were taught the sounds – ‘ou’, ‘er’and ‘ar’.

The children were taught how to serve food. They help themselves to food during breakfast and lunch time now. General serving of food. They take how much they want to/can eat.
