skit
Farming Creativity: 12 February, 2009; IRS
Balanagar, Hyderabad
The primary objective behind the “Farmers Market” was to let the children know about the varieties of vegetables and fruits, their nutritional value, the ambience of a marketplace, concept of purchase and sale, measurement, and the use of money. All varieties of vegetables and fruits were made available. The hot favorite among the customers was the sprouts.
As an integrated approach to teaching, teachers assigned project work to their students related to the exhibition such as weights and measurement, and profit and loss in
Maths, composition writing in English, nutritional value of fruits and vegetables in Science and in Social Studies, “Our neighborhood and people who help us.” A profit of
Rs. 300/- was generated by the students out of which Rs.150/- was spent on gifts for the students. It was the an excellent learning opportunity for all of
us.
