September was a month of deep engagement, joyful collaboration, and powerful imagination at Jeevanshala. Learning moved far beyond textbooks as children explored ideas through role reversal, hands-on experiments, storytelling, and collective creation.The month began with a memorable Teacher’s Day celebration, where older students stepped into the role of Teacher-Learners and taught younger children. From history, English, maths, Hindi, to social science, classrooms were filled with energy, empathy, and responsibility. Around the same time, children watched Gattu, a film about dreaming big, and expressed their own aspirations by writing them on colourful paper kites. Younger children also performed thoughtful plays on bullying and teasing, with seniors guiding and supporting them—reinforcing lessons of kindness and solidarity
Everyday classes continued with creative twists. Children discovered lesser-known Indian states through fun Hindi activities, explored grains and sand under microscopes in science class, and fifth graders learned about human evolution through engaging videos. Saturday workshops became spaces for children to express dreams through stories and drawings.
A large part of September was devoted to preparing for Jeevanshala’s first-ever Science, Art, and Craft Exhibition. Children developed the habit of reading the news, designed card games on food and nutrition, and created collages to understand the climate crisis and the grassroots impacts of war. This preparation culminated in a vibrant public exhibition.
Across multiple sections, the exhibition showcased remarkable work: experiments on how heat affects iron and wood, how plants produce oxygen, the role of protein in food, and the harmful effects of smoking on lungs. Children recreated the Indus Valley Civilization while critically examining misinformation about history, busted myths around solar and lunar eclipses, and engaged parents through sensory guessing games.
The exhibition also featured powerful installations like Aaj ka Gaav and Be-Gham Gaav, where children imagined present realities and more just futures, alongside discussions on nutrition, healthcare, and environmental awareness. September stood as a testament to curiosity, courage, and learning rooted in science, art, and social consciousness.
After the exhibition, children went back to their homes with their parents to celebrate the festive season of Diwali.
