Prarambh Updates trial

Hi all,

Another good weekend at Prarambh.

Saturday: Jan 20, 2007
Not much done on Saturday as the kids and volunteers turnout was very low ( only 5 volunteers and 7 kids). Everyone was sent back early.
Krishnam taught mathematics to Vasant Rohit and Sankesh (few mathematical tricks with number 11)
For a change Tejashree and Shilpa became teacher and taught Ashish marathi (writing numbers in Marathi) and Ashish also continued with same teaching them to write the numbers in English.
Niharika taught maths to 4th class students (Damini, Raheel and Bhavana).She taught them multiplication of any number with 10,100 ,1000,10000 and division of 3 digit numbers (multiples of 5) by 5. Apart from that she also taught them about colours in English so that the kids dont get with mathematics.

Sunday: Jan 21, 2007
On Sunday we got a decent attendance of kids along with our volunteers.

Niharika continued with Damini and Raheel and taught them division of 3 digit numbers (multiples of 6 and 7) by 6 and 7.Apart from that this time she chose vegetable names as the topic to be dealt with in english. She is doing a good work by keeping balance in both subjects and keeping the interest of the kids alive
Sunil taught taught Harshavardhan (Std.2) and Shubham (Std.3) mathematics (tables, addition) and english (‘look, listen and say’ stuff). They did some drawing too in the end for a change in mood
Charu handled class 6th students and taught them mathematics
Aditi had taught multiplication and division of 3-digit numbers to 4th Standard children.
Shachin taught only Sankesh. He took up English with him and asked him to read an English passage from his text book, later Shachin asked him question on the same. He also gave him an essay to write on "PLANE HIJACK". Quiet interesting to see the imagination level and thinking power of the kids. Later on he also gave basic math puzzles like number of weeks in a year, number of seconds in a day to the students.
Kranti taught english to the girls (tejashree & co.)- spellings, new words, they also made sentences from the words. (got them to tell the recipe of “chikki” in english) .She also taught them percentage they had a sum total of their marks in all the subjects- so they calculated the percentage for each of them.After that they learnt to draw cartoons from numbers (from the children’s segment of the newspaper Sakal).
Ashish taught Vasant and Rohit pronounciation of english words.


Quiet innovative ways of teaching being introduced in Prarambh. Thanks to all the volunteers

Special Math Class:

Prof. Phadnis was busy with some personal work so we couldnot have the class during this week. Hope to make up in the coming classes.


Come and be a part of this cause. Let’s Prarambh.
