Sr.Kg –August 2016
Theme for the month:Animal Kingdom
Tomorrow’s diversity depends on teaching today’s children to conserve wildlife and value and appreciate the same. Awareness of conservation begins when children are young. Thus taking, ‘Extinct and Endangered species’ as the theme for the month, your little oneswill learn about these species and also one’s role and responsibility as a global citizen. We look upon the young generation to be a part of the conservation drive and help us conserve planet Earth.
Effective usage of Audio Visual learning, technology and Role plays will be used as a methodology.

At Home You Can: Encourage your children to watch television programmes and films on endangered species that stress the importance of conservation. The more dialogue you have with your children about wildlife conservation,the more opportunities there are for them to appreciate the importance of our diverse and fragile ecology.
You may donate a portion of the child’s allowance to a reputable conservation group.
