ROSA PARKS and class1 A I have a batch of new kids who joined me in the month of April before we closed down for the summer. They are a handful lot very curious and very enthusiastic. They have many questions and they are eager to learn a lot. I always like to go beyond curriculum and think the syllabus and the course as it is every one would do and learn but for me a true educator would always go beyond and I definitely walk the talk. We started this year i.e. July with discussion on Rosa Parks. Its amazing how sensitive children can be . While I was reading out the life story ( facts) about Rosa Parks there were many little 6 year old who started crying . It was an eye opener for me to realize that little hearts are always sensitive and it is we adults and the different layers of life that makes a human being harsh and insensitive as we grow older. Rosa Parks is not only inspiring for my children but it is also a small history lesson. In today's time children cannot even imagine the discrimination one can face due to colour and race.   The life story of Rosa Parks is so inspiring for the children , they not only learnt about equality but also a very big life lesson came out of this inspiring lesson -- to stand up for one self , that is what Rosa did . Now my children would actually respect themselves for what they are and will be able to handle the bullies by standing up for themselves like Rosa did for herself and for many others like her.   After finishing the book on Rosa Parks my children drew her portrait, the innocence of the children came out in their drawing where they have drawn Rosa with pink , yellow black and peach skin colour, her colour does not matter to them , what matters to them the most was that she stood up for herself and no one could bully her , they tried to be mean ,she fell but she stood up !! I am so proud of my children ! Class1 A salutes Rosa Parks for her courage, her sensitivity and integrity !
