Kavya's Spring Program

Tonight was Kavya's annual Spring program at her school. They had one last year too but it was just all the kids singing rhymes together. This time the whole production was more professional. They had a theme, printed program schedules and color-coordinated dresses. The theme this time was 'Bugs'. So the girls were dressed up as ladybugs and the boys as bumblebees. With the reds and yellows alternating, it was quite a pretty and colorful sight.

I've seen a few of these but it never ceases to amaze me how the teachers put these kinds of programs together. We have enough trouble getting our little girl to do what we ask her to do. But the teachers got 24 kids to sing 10 rhymes in unison, pick up and shake props on cue and pair up and dance(including a very cute final twirl). A lot of fun!

Glad you had fun...also love the way this blog lets today's bachelors (apdi naa, tomorrow's...err, ahem, Asin Chellam, are you reading this?!) follow the experiences of a parent as his kids grow up :)

--> Teaching is perceived to be a very "thankless" profession in India. I feel that teachers here get a little bit of recognition for the efforts they put in. It's very noble of some teachers here (I know a couple) to devote a lot of time (sometimes more than what the school demands of them) to the kids, be it with the curriculum or extra-curricular activities.

You`re right, Balaji!. It is when we see these programs and teachers infusing so much of colour into children`s lives, that we realize that a teacher is one profession which has not lost it`s value and image in the society over the rush of time and technology.

My regards to Kavya :-))

Yeah.. It's hard work alright =P.

Actually the kids are quite amazing when it comes to performing arts... and We have to have aloooooot of patience to mould the little cuties.

It's really pathetic that I can't handle my niece and nephew, but I can handle 15 screaming kids at once.

Bahhh! :P
