It’s Maria Montessori’s 150th birthday today and the tiny tots of ASPIRE could be seen celebrating the occasion with utmost zeal and gusto. Ms.Kavita Shetty graced the occasion as the Chief Guest. The teachers of kindergarten set the ball rolling with a mellifluous song based on Maria Montessori. The children brimmed with ebullience as they watched Ms. Gatha Gajbhiye, a UKG student, cladded as Maria Montessori, revolving around the globe symbolic of the Earth’s revolution around the Sun. Maria Montessori firmly advocated innovative and practical ways of teaching. The circle-time was equally amusing as the children laced the beads, sorted the buttons, solved puzzles, and built blocks with great fun and vivacity. The scintillating dance ’10 green bottles’ was cheered with great spirits by one and all. The jubilant mood of the occasion was all the more lifted as the students of Grades 1 and 2 celebrated ‘Red Day’. They were all looking gorgeous in their red dresses. Students of Grade 1 recited poems while those of Grade 2 sang a song. The celebration culminated with Ms. Kavita Shetty Ma’am’s address to the chidren. She lavishly praised and congratulated the students and their teachers for the exemplary endeavour.
