Swami Vivekananda's Punyatithi

On 4th July 2023, our Vidyalaya solemnly observed the Punyatithi of Swami Vivekananda with a series of heartfelt tributes and devotional activities during school hours.

The commemoration began at 11 a.m. with a soulful bhajan session. The serene and melodious atmosphere was set by the harmonious performances of Emon Bhagawati, Chandana Didi, and Sudhir Kumar Sir. Their renditions captured the spiritual essence of the occasion and filled the hearts of all present with reverence and devotion.

Following the bhajan, the teachers performed Pushpanjali, offering flowers in tribute to Swami Ji. This act of devotion was a poignant reminder of Swami Ji's teachings and the profound impact he continues to have on our lives.

The event was a fitting tribute to Swami Ji, fostering a sense of unity and spirituality within the school community. We look forward to continuing to honor Swami Ji's memory through such meaningful observances in the future.

Reading Festival

Reading skill is foundational for reading and literacy. Our Vidyalaya organized a Reading Festival on 24th to 26th June 2024 necessary for the evaluation of phonemic awareness in students from classes 1, 2, and 3, which was analyzed by 19 teachers across different classrooms. 

 

Class - 1:      Total Students 39.

                      Students in Class 1 are in the early stages of developing phonemic awareness.

                              

                     Key Findings:

                     Identification of Sounds Approximately 40percent of students can identify             individual sounds in words.

 

                     Challenges:

                     Difficulties were noted in blending sounds to form words, with only 40% of           students demonstrating proficiency.

 

                     Instructional Strategies: 

                     Utilization of songs, rhymes, and interactive reading sessions. Teachers                  recommended increasing the use of phonemic games to improve engagement        and retention.

 

Class - 2:     Total Students 43.

                    Class 2, students show improved phonemic awareness, with more students             achieving basic competencies. 45percent of students can break down words into   individual phonemes.

 

                    Challenges:

                  Some students still struggle with more complex phonemic tasks such as deletion of phonemes and transposition (the ability to change the sequence of sounds).

 

                     Instructional Strategies:

                     Teachers implemented more advanced exercises such as segmenting and                blending multisyllabic words. Continued use of interactive activities, with an        additional focus on targeted interventions for students struggling with complex      tasks.

 

Class - 3:     Total Students 41.

                    Most of class 3 students exhibit strong phonemic awareness, which supports          their reading  practices.

                    

                     Key Findings:

                     60 percent of students can handle complex phonemic tasks.

                     

                     Fluency and Speed:

               There is a notable increase in the speed and fluency with which students can     manipulate phonemes.

                    

                     Challenges:

                    A small percentage of students still need support with advanced phonemic tasks.   Instructional strategies emphasis on individualized support and more challenging phonemic exercises. Encouragement of peer-assisted learning and literacy games to maintain high engagement levels.

The progression from Class 1 to Class 3 shows significant growth in phonemic awareness among students. The majority of students meet expected benchmarks by Class 3, although a tailored approach is necessary for students who require additional support. Recommendations include ongoing professional development for teachers to share best practices and strategies for phonemic instruction.
