What’s happening in the classroom In GDGPS, students are engaged in active & deep learning and are not passively taking in information from instructions. They are identifying, thinking, writing, reading etc. To make each student an active player in learning process, an environment must be created in which there are opportunities for students to do tasks. Here teachers are emphasizing on teaching through activities in which the students participate rigorously & bring about an efficient learning experience. It provides real-time learning as teachers use all available resources to implement exploratory, constructive & expressional activities.

TEACHING LIFE SKILLS TO STUDENTS We describe Life skills as “Learning to learn skills” which can be developed through intentional daily activities. The development of life skills often happen naturally as preschooler spend each day doing tasks such as washing hands, walking in a line, talking politely to each other. It is an essential part of early childhood education & many kinds of life skills can be naturally promoted by integrating these skills into children’s play.

FREE It is an essential part of a child’s PLAY development allowing time for free play. It helps to build a child’s imagination & creativity, as well as problem solving skills. It is important for building development skills in children. It helps in developing gross motor skills and helps them learn to think independently.

“Innovation is important for growth” Innovation means creating new ideas. Something that has never been made before or the process of creating something that has never been made before. Little students at GDGPS make innovations according to what has been taught in class and look at the topic from different points of view. This makes them more confident about what they know. INNOVATIONS

SENTENCE OF THE DAY DURING CIRCLE TIME Circle time is a great way for our KG kids to get a sense of community with other kids of their age & enhance their skills and improve their attention span. At GDGPS, KG kids start each day with circle time. It helps the children learn how to form a sentence as they are made to say a sentence each day during circle time.
