We learned how to make quilts. We found a storybook in the library about a quilt maker. We used the script from the book to make our own audio story. We rehearsed, we recorded, and finally edited … Here is also the making of the audio story. There was joy in creating an audio story.

May 03, 2021 #3 Audio Story with R J Vishruthi
Says Vishruthi,

So before I present the audio story to you, here is a small (though looks very big ) STORY behind the AUDIO STORY (Ratnesh named it ) So it was an impromptu idea of Ratnesh "Vishruti, would you like to create an audio story with children?" I loved the idea and it was an immediate YES. I suggested 4 days and time and the journey began. We started with few voice exercises where on the first day we tried working on the 'pitch'. The second day was more about picking up the characters from the story and reading the story and just be a little alined.

On the third day again the reading and rehearsal happened as we were planning to record the story on the fourth day. But I was still thinking if this can be the time to JUST record the story and finish it off or work more on VOICE. I discussed it with Ratnesh again and on the fourth day shared it with everyone. Everyone shared their inclination, few wanted to work on voice more and few were ok with both. With everyone's consensus, we decided to give 3 more sessions to our story :). Now came the tough job, managing schedules, and bringing everyone together in the last 3 days took some energy from me and Leela!

On the fifth day, we tried working more on different aspects of voice by changing - tone, pitch, volume, energy, expression, emotion. Trupti brought the 'pauses and punches' aspect beautifully. On this day hiren in a channel shared his mask and suggested if we all can make one! Ours was the animal kingdom story (with 11 characters) and the mask sounded exciting! We took that up..

On the sixth day we worked with the mouth exercise where how just by changing the mouth design and movement, everything changed and it brought a lot of fun. And then the last day arrived! Yes, the recording day! We planned to do it 2 ways.. 1. Recording only audio story with cameras off 2. Recording story along with the video with speakers view Both the ways, it became classic fun for all of us! @ramya became our Nicest Narrator who also managed the background music and was superbly connected with her both the roles @AVANI and @jiya jogdeo we our goto people for any character replacements (and there were many during the whole process!) @AVANI was our heavy voice scary lion and @jiya jogdeo was the kind messenger! @rishab and his mom got that awesome alligator-ish fear for us as alligator and @trupti was our joyous zebra. @Achalesh remained the giant yet gentle 'talking' elephant and @Pooja was our smashing squirrel. @hiren our mask inspiration became the marvelous monkey and @Sakila Nachimuthu and pavan became the ferociously fun-tastic leopard. @sri joined a little later but played remarkable rhinoceros and @vimal became our terrific tiger. @Leela was constantly there as the strongest support and brought a lot of excitement and coordination. Enjoyed every bit of this teamwork and sharing here the story too Enjoyyyyyy

January 26, 2021#2 How do Children Learn - બાળકો કેવી રીતે શીખે છે
બાળક જે અનુભવે છે અને અનુભવે છે તે બધું તે વિશે શીખવા અને શીખવાની કંઈક છે. દરેક અનુભવ, દરેક ક્રિયાપ્રતિક્રિયા, દરેક ઇવેન્ટ બાળકના વિકાસના દરેક ક્ષેત્રમાં ભણતરની સંખ્યામાં પરિણમી શકે છે. આપણે શીખવાની ઇચ્છા રાખતા નથી અને ન તો ઇરાદો રાખીએ છીએ.

January 26, 2021#1 Bad News is Good News - Gujrati ખરાબ સમાચાર સારા સમાચાર છે
માતાપિતા અથવા શિક્ષક તરીકે, જ્યારે બાળકોમાં કંઈક ખોટું થાય છે, ત્યારે આપણે નિરાશ થઈ જઈએ છીએ. લગભગ ઈચ્છતા હતા કે કંઇ ખોટું ન થાય. પરંતુ વધુ સશક્તિકરણ એ છે કે દરેક ખરાબ સમાચારને આલિંગન આપવું! સાંભળો કે દરેક ખરાબ સમાચાર ખરેખર સારા સમાચાર કેવી રીતે હોય છે.
This episode is translated by Minal

TAs a parent or teacher, when something goes wrong with children, we tend to get dismayed. almost wishing that nothing should go wrong. But a more empowering way is to embrace every bad news! Listen to how every bad news is actually good news.
Parenting or teaching is NOT about some tricks or techniques or strategies
it is about deeply understanding the child and his or her learning and development
it is about providing a relationship that would enable the child to blossom into the unique human that he or she is
It is not about a child's future, but about the joy we all have in the years we live together

JAGRITI - an online unlearning program for parents and teachers - giving you fresh perspectives into your child and their learning, growing journey.
While what you know and have been doing as a parent is correct, there are atleast 50 more ways of seeing the same thing. When we open up our windows, we get to see new vistas. Automatically, these new perspectives lead us to respond to and work with our child in different and perhaps much more effective ways. The child, in the end, is a huge beneficiary. That we start enjoying our working with the child is a nice side benefit.
The sessions would be conducted by Aditi, Ratnesh, Co-founders of Aarohi which is an Open Learning Community for learners of all ages

August 28, 2020 #2 UnLearning LANGUAGE
Language is something we feel that it starts with ABC
But, in reality, it starts from day one or maybe before
It starts with LISTENING
In fact, it happens when as a part of life, fully experiencing it,

TALKING and LISTENING - Home and Classrooms full of CHATTER (some call them as noisy classrooms) - kids FREELY talking, interacting with each other -" I did this, I saw this, this looks like this, My tiffin box is like a rectangle box, My sandwich is soft and so. Talk about the dress, read each other t-shirt, what happened last night, what they like and do not like and so on ... A LARGE amount of LISTENING and TALKING between children hence becomes a major source of language development (and also thinking development). This is how your child learned to speak the mother tongue, so this is the most natural method of learning. A lot of elaborative, descriptive, and thought rich talking and listening is also the core of whole development as per the Vygotskian principles.
READING - A child read because the environment offers innumerable exposure to reading. A child "sees" and reads a whole lot of books, notes by the facilitator, labels in the classroom, codes and notices, signage, pickup card, what's on another child's t-shirt, and so on. This seeing is making the child form an image of letters, words, the flow of words (left to right), sentences, and so on. These exposures form the fundamental step towards reading. What the child reads he/she may not be able to communicate to you - NOW - but he/she is in the process of FORMING images of the written language.
WRITING - When the child is using Mehandi cone, or combining two strips and making a form or scribbling on the slate or crayon on paper - I am replicating not just images of objects but also symbols of letters. (curves and lines), When the child is making forms in the sand, playing with a paintbrush, singing rhymes with actions, making various formation with blocks, etc - he/she is learning to recreate. These combinations of curves and lines form the first step towards forming letters. Soon they start relating what they have formed to the letters they have seen. Soon they start replicating these on slate / by body actions, in the sand area, and yes on paper.
When children have this rich experience of LANGUAGE around them - they're ready to EXPLORE language. No wonder many of the kids PICK up skills required for that level within no time - while they have no direct exposure to writing the conventional way.
Fortunately, we can't compartmentalize learning to school or learning to reading and writing. Learning happens everywhere: at home, in the garden, at a restaurant, or a party! In fact, the best learning happens when its part of my life, when I am fully experiencing it, when I have a reason and meaning behind it, when I approach it with a purpose of my own when it is contextual - part of real life.
Many children detest writing. During the first few years of a child's life listening and talking is the basic form of communication, while the child sees reading equally important to survive - from signboards to food packets to stories for entertainment. But the child is introduced to writing through writing ABC - which has no connection with a child's life.
