This is not the last day BUT.

“This time will be the last session before summer vacation.” Supervisor Vijayalaxmi ma’am let us know. I forgot it and was going to take a usual class. But, I was thinking I should do something more with him after being aware of that fact.
We finished two chapters today. Day by day, we feel study of Mathematics seems to be easier than before. Also, I gave him another opportunity by using new device which he cannot deal easily. In using calculator, he seemed to enjoy a lot because it has many functions which he didn’t expect. Whenever I can give him new experiences or opportunities, I feel very happy and want to give more. So, it challenges me to think about it more and more.



After finishing two chapters, I and Munal made a plan for next session (after summer vacation). For the first Saturday, we will have a ‘Art class’. For the second, we will study our main subject-Mathematics. For the third Saturday, we decided to have time for discussion about global issues, international issues and ethical issues around us. Those kinds of problems also effect on our life indirectly or directly. I think that is what we should think about as an ethical issue (for them and for me) with them. They who we teach also have right which should think about global and ethical issue. Supervisor Vijayalaxmi ma’am suggested me that showing some videos, movies (Animation which has a message about environment and so on), pictures or news to them and talk about it for some time. For that, they don’t have much information and route. So, we can get them and share with them.
Today, I asked him ‘Japan tsunami since 11 March’ and talked about it. He is aware of that news and was thinking about global issues too. When we were making a plan he was really interested in discussion for such topic. I and Munal thought it will be really nice time and chance for both of us. It must be good challenges for us!

As usual, I and my friends did such a traffic class with them by putting beautiful cooperation. Nowadays, all of us are organized nicely hence children also can follow us calmly.


Surprisingly, our seniors-Chinmay, Mukul and Agam-visited Ashram for giving sports goods like badminton rackets, soccer ball and carrom ball table to them. It was really touched one because they are concerning them though they finished their time and work. This is another care which comes from their responsibility. I thought it will give me another impact on my work in the future as my seniors did.

We will meet them after summer vacation. So, I blessed them for their exam and health during hot summer. See you soon with grown mind and looks~~

Hi Dasom, it is wonderful and heartening to see that your last CAS activity for this session ended on such a high and fulfilling note. I bet the boys will be missing their Saturday sessions and will be looking forward to renewal of activities once the new session starts.

The most important thing in yesterday's activity, according to me, was the discussion you had with your students about global happenings, especially about the Tsunami in Japan. It is very important for your learners to articulate their thoughts about worldwide happenings and not remain secluded in one corner of their world. The CONNECT which is to be made has to be initiated by youngsters themselves, and I am proud of the fact that you and your friends have taken that initiative. A true CAS learning initiative and outcome.

The Carrom Board and other play items which the IB students have donated to the inmates of the ashram through their school fund raising activity is another success story for which I give a round of applause to the entire IBDP team of teachers, students and other staff members who have helped made it possible. This is also in the true CAS spirit.

Keep up with the brilliant work. You will soon be joined by new members to the CAS fraternity, and it will be your job to lead and guide them down the same path you have been traversing since last year.

Thank you, sir for encouragement. I thought it should have been planned early. But, I don't think it will be late. We are still going to do all works nicely! Also, I believe it will definitely help us further more in any fields.
I am looking forward to do this on next session as soon as possible~~

Thank you, ma'am.
Yes, it seemed to be very tough for me at the first time. But, I could feel it was not difficult much once I overcame it. Also, this experience helped me a lot in dealing with such a hard work successfully.
In one side, I worry about those difficulty. But, I am waiting for them because I'll never back down!

Dear Dasom,
Great work! You are doing very well. Very systematic work is going on. The only suggestion is take some teachers help for next sessions planing and make your work wonderful!
Best Luck!
