This is Bina, during circle time. One way that I hope I have been useful is that I've made various resource cards for the school. I was a little concerned that although the older kids can recite the numbers up to twenty, that they didn't actually know what they meant and that they couldn't actually count things. So I made cards showing each of the numerals from one to ten, coloured each number in a different colour, and then made corresponding cards with one to ten dots, colour coded with the numeral card. They have proved to be a big success.
A group enjoying some shade before circle time:
This is Susmita, the girl that I described feeding in my last post. She is still terribly small for her age but has put on weight in the last month. She is about a year old and, other than crying for the first few days when she was new to OGN, she doesn't make a single peep. Nada. She also doesn't make any attempt to move. She doesn't roll over or crawl or try to pull herself up. She sits totally quietly and will remain in that spot until picked up and put somewhere else. She is, however, starting to come out of her shell. Last week she smiled. The next day she waved and put her hands together in the greeting gesture. All the volunteers got very excited!
On the potties:
That last picture is SO CUTE!!
