September 19, 2025Crescent Public School has introduced a special handwriting program designed to help students strengthen the foundation of their writing by learning the parts of a letter.
Understanding the Basics
The trainer guided the children to see that every letter, no matter how big or small, is built from a few simple strokes. These include:
(a) Standing line – the upright stroke, seen in letters like l and t.
(b) Sleeping line – the flat base or top, found in letters such as E and F.
(c) Left curve and Right curve – giving round shapes in letters like C, D, and O.
(d) Slanting line – the diagonal strokes in letters such as A, K, and V.
(e) Dots and small strokes – the details in i, j, and other letters.
By combining these strokes, children practiced forming both capital and small letters. They were also taught about proportions:
(a) Capital letters should reach 100% height,
(b) Certain small letters (a, e, o) stay at 50% height,
(c) Some letters (g, p, y) drop 25% below the baseline.
This step-by-step approach ensures neatness, uniformity, and balance.
Why Handwriting Matters
In a world full of screens, parents often wonder if handwriting still matters. The answer is a strong yes. Handwriting helps in ways that go beyond neat notebooks:
1. Sharpens memory and learning – Writing by hand improves focus and recall.
2. Strengthens motor skills – Strokes and curves train fine hand–eye coordination.
3. Teaches discipline – Neat writing takes patience and steady practice.
4. Builds confidence – A child who sees improvement in writing feels proud and motivated.
5. Improves communication – Clear handwriting makes studying and exam writing easier.
Role of Parents
Teachers encouraged parents to support this practice at home. Just five minutes a day, with gentle guidance, can boost progress. Praising even small improvements helps children stay motivated and enjoy the process.
Looking Ahead
This handwriting program will continue in the coming weeks, moving step by step from letters to words and sentences. The goal is not only to develop beautiful handwriting but also to nurture habits of concentration, confidence, and pride in written work.
With consistent practice and joint effort between school and home, Crescent Public School is helping its students discover that writing is not just about letters on a page — it is a lifelong skill that builds focus, patience, and self-expression.

August 1, 2025Why Parent-Teacher Meetings Are Necessary for the Future of Children
Bridging the gap between home and school for holistic child development
Introduction
In every classroom, teachers witness the daily progress, struggles, and hidden potential of children. At the same time, parents observe their children at home—their habits, emotions, and aspirations. Yet, too often, these two worlds remain disconnected.
Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs) are designed to bridge this crucial gap. Far from being routine school formalities, PTMs are essential platforms that shape the educational, emotional, and social future of children.
The Importance of PTMs in Today’s Education System
Education today extends beyond textbooks. Children face unprecedented challenges such as:
Exposure to social media
Pressure from competitive exams
The evolving job landscape influenced by Artificial Intelligence (AI)
In this scenario, PTMs play three key roles:
Academic Tracking – Understanding a child’s learning progress and academic challenges.
Behavioral Understanding – Sharing insights about emotional and behavioral patterns.
Collaboration for Growth – Aligning home and school efforts for a child’s all-round development.
The Numbers Speak
UNESCO: Students with involved parents are 43% more likely to excel academically.
UNICEF India: Regular PTMs improve student attendance by 15%.
Harvard Research: Active collaboration between parents and teachers improves reading levels by 40%.
ASER 2019: Nearly 50% of rural parents in India do not attend PTMs.
Challenges in Rural and Urban Contexts
Urban Parents: Face time constraints and busy schedules.
Rural Parents: Struggle with lack of awareness, literacy, and communication barriers.
Often, PTMs turn into one-sided report card discussions rather than meaningful dialogues about holistic growth.
Expert Opinion
“Children thrive when parents and teachers work as a team. A PTM should not just be about grades—it should be about dreams, challenges, and building resilience.”
— Dr. Renu Sharma, Child Psychologist
Case Studies
Rural Maharashtra: Conducting PTMs in local dialects led to an 18% improvement in attendance.
Delhi: Implementing solution-focused PTMs helped improve grades of 70% of underperforming students within two terms.
Solutions & Way Forward
Redefine PTMs: Make them about the child’s overall growth, not just exam marks.
Prepare Parents: Encourage them to come with questions and concerns.
Leverage Technology: Use WhatsApp groups, virtual PTMs, and AI-based learning reports.
Local Language Communication: Use regional languages to improve inclusivity in rural areas.
Parent-Teacher Meetings are not rituals—they are investments in a child’s future. They ensure that education becomes a shared journey involving the school, home, and community.
Attend PTMs with seriousness—your child’s future depends on it.

July 12, 2025The Extended Weekend: A Catalyst for Holistic Growth in the NEP 2020 Era – A Deeper Dive
By Sanjay Srivastava, Math’s Teacher, Crescent Public School, Ballarpur
The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled. – Plutarch.
This timeless wisdom resonates deeply with my philosophy as a mathematics teacher at Crescent Public School, Ballarpur. My journey has consistently reinforced the belief that true learning transcends the boundaries of traditional classrooms and textbooks. It’s about cultivating critical thinkers, fostering well-rounded personalities, and empowering both students and educators to reach their full potential. In this pursuit, the progressive policy of designating the 2nd and 4th Saturdays as holidays emerges as a truly transformative initiative, aligning seamlessly with the forward-thinking vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
The NEP 2020 is not just a policy document; it’s a blueprint for a revitalized education system, emphasizing holistic development, experiential learning, and a multidisciplinary approach. Crucially, it re-establishes teachers as the linchpin of this transformation, advocating for their continuous professional growth and overall well-being. The extended weekends, afforded by these Saturday holidays, serve as a potent tool to actualize these aspirations, creating a ripple effect of positive change throughout our educational ecosystem here in Ballarpur, Maharashtra.
Empowering Students: Nurturing Beyond the Syllabus
For our students, these additional days are far more than just a break; they are an invaluable opportunity for rejuvenation, exploration, and the pursuit of passions that contribute to their overall development.
Cultivating Hobbies and Interests
In the relentless academic rhythm of our schools, students often find little bandwidth to delve into interests beyond their syllabi. These holidays offer a precious gift of time. Imagine a student from our very own Crescent Public School, deeply fascinated by robotics, who can now dedicate an entire Saturday to attending online workshops, participating in robotics competitions, or even building a small, functional robot. This hands-on engagement fosters not only technical skills but also problem-solving abilities and a growth mindset, directly aligning with NEP 2020’s emphasis on identifying and nurturing the unique talents and creative potential of every child. Similarly, a budding classical dancer can dedicate hours to practice, or a young writer can immerse themselves in crafting stories, unburdened by daily assignments. This unstructured yet purposeful time is crucial for developing intrinsic motivation and a lifelong love for learning.
Strengthening Family Bonds and Social-Emotional Intelligence
The demands of modern life often limit quality family time. The extended weekend provides a vital window for families to connect, engage in shared activities, and strengthen their relationships. Consider a family in Ballarpur using a 2nd Saturday to embark on a nature walk in the nearby Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, observing wildlife and learning about biodiversity firsthand. This experience, far richer than any textbook lesson, fosters a child’s appreciation for nature, promotes environmental awareness, and creates lasting memories. Beyond family, these holidays also allow for participation in community service, fostering empathy and social responsibility. As a mathematics teacher, I’ve seen how strong social-emotional foundations are crucial for academic success and overall well-being, aspects that NEP 2020 implicitly encourages through its focus on developing a well-rounded personality with strong ethical grounding.
Prioritizing Rest and Mental Well-being
The pervasive pressure on students today to excel academically can lead to significant stress and burnout. A three-day weekend is a powerful antidote, offering ample time for rest, relaxation, and mental recalibration. Anecdotally, I’ve observed that students who return to school on Monday after a truly restful weekend are demonstrably more attentive, engaged, and receptive to new concepts. Their concentration levels are higher, and their problem-solving abilities are sharper. This directly supports the NEP’s goal of creating a positive and nurturing learning environment where students feel safe, supported, and motivated to learn. A fatigued mind struggles to grasp complex mathematical concepts, whereas a refreshed mind embraces challenges with enthusiasm.
Nurturing Our Educators: The Cornerstone of NEP 2020
The NEP 2020 unequivocally positions teachers at the very heart of educational reform. It champions their empowerment, continuous professional development, and overall well-being. The 2nd and 4th Saturday holidays are not merely a perk but a critical enabler in achieving these objectives.
Dedicated Time for Professional Development and Skill Enhancement
Effective teaching in the 21st century demands continuous learning and adaptation. These holidays provide invaluable dedicated time for teachers to engage in Continuous Professional Development (CPD). Instead of trying to squeeze in online courses or workshops after an exhausting school day, teachers can now immerse themselves fully in learning new skills or deepening their existing knowledge. For instance, our science teachers could participate in an immersive workshop on integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools into their classroom instruction, or our language teachers could delve into advanced pedagogies for fostering critical literacy and creative expression. This directly aligns with NEP’s mandate for teachers to undergo at least 50 hours of CPD annually, ensuring they remain at the forefront of educational innovation and possess the necessary skills to implement competency-based learning and experiential pedagogies. Many national and international online platforms offer a plethora of specialized courses, and teachers can now truly leverage these resources.
Fostering Curriculum Innovation and Collaborative Planning
Creating truly engaging and effective learning experiences requires thoughtful planning, curriculum adaptation, and often, interdisciplinary collaboration. The additional Saturdays empower teachers to collaboratively plan intricate projects that transcend subject boundaries, design innovative assessment strategies that move beyond rote memorization, and prepare hands-on activities that align with NEP’s emphasis on experiential learning. Imagine our history and art teachers at Crescent collaborating on a project where students research the rich history of Gond tribal art from our region of Maharashtra, then recreate similar art forms, incorporating mathematical principles of symmetry and geometry. This kind of project-based learning, which is a cornerstone of NEP 2020, requires significant planning time that is often scarce during regular school weeks. These holidays provide that crucial space for such pedagogical innovation.
Promoting Personal Recharge and Well-being
Like their students, teachers too are susceptible to burnout. The relentless demands of the profession, coupled with personal responsibilities, can take a toll. A refreshed teacher is a more enthusiastic, patient, and effective educator. These extended breaks contribute significantly to improving their work-life balance, leading to increased job satisfaction, reduced stress levels, and ultimately, a more positive and productive classroom environment. This directly impacts their interactions with students, fostering a more nurturing and inspiring learning atmosphere. Furthermore, schools can utilize these Saturdays for optional wellness activities, mindfulness sessions, or even informal gatherings that foster a strong sense of community and camaraderie among the staff, creating a supportive professional network.
Real-World Alignment and a Future-Ready Approach
The concept of extended weekends for schools, while a significant step in India, finds parallels in various global models that prioritize well-being and holistic development. In several European countries, schools often operate on shorter weeks or have longer breaks, recognizing the importance of unstructured time for children’s development. While a full four-day school week might be a larger systemic shift requiring meticulous planning of instructional hours, the 2nd and 4th Saturday holidays are a practical, impactful, and easily implementable step in the right direction for our context.
The NEP 2020’s paradigm shift from what to think to how to think necessitates an environment where critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving are not just taught but deeply experienced. The extended weekends provide the much-needed space and time for both students and teachers to engage in these deeper forms of learning and personal development, away from the rigid strictures of a traditional academic week.
At Crescent Public School, Ballarpur, we see these holidays not merely as days off from school, but as strategic investments in the future – in the intellectual, emotional, and creative growth of our children, and in the continuous professional enrichment of our dedicated educators. By embracing this forward-thinking policy, we are not just aligning ourselves with the letter of the NEP 2020; we are embodying its spirit, actively cultivating an educational ecosystem where learning is joyful, holistic, and truly transformative, preparing our students to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. – John Dewey.

July 10, 2025The Power of Morning Assembly: A Gateway to Holistic Learning
By Mrs. Humera Khan, Principal, Crescent Public School, Ballarpur
“The way you start your day can often determine how well you live it.”
At Crescent Public School, Ballarpur, our day begins not with a textbook, but with a shared experience — the Morning Assembly. Conducted for students from Class 1 onward, our assemblies are more than a routine – they are living, breathing platforms for character building, awareness, and value education.
In alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which promotes holistic development and integration of co-curricular activities into academics, morning assemblies at our school are a key pedagogical tool — one that inspires, unites, and uplifts our school community every day.
Why Morning Assembly?
1. Starting the Day Right
A structured morning filled with prayer, thought for the day, theme-based messages, and national anthem sets the emotional tone and instills focus, discipline, and energy for learning.
2. Personal Growth & Life Skills
Assemblies give students a chance to speak publicly, lead, and collaborate. From sharing quotes to role-plays and skits, the stage becomes a real-world classroom.
As per a 2021 Educational Initiatives report, schools with engaging morning assemblies noted a 15% higher student engagement across activities.
3. Value-Based Learning Aligned with NEP
NEP 2020 emphasizes ethics, citizenship, and social-emotional development — all of which are addressed in our assemblies. Whether through stories of Indian heroes or global challenges like climate change, students build awareness and empathy.
Our Assembly Calendar: Month-Wise Themes
Every daily assembly at Crescent Public School follows a specific theme of the month, helping students connect deeply with essential values. Here’s our Monthly Assembly Theme Calendar:
Special Days Celebrated Through Assembly
In addition to daily themes, each month includes two special assemblies focused on important national/international observances. Some examples include:
(a) Van Mahotsav Week (July): Students of Class 6 enacted a roleplay on deforestation, followed by a tree plantation activity within school grounds.
(b) World Population Day (July 11): Class 8 presented a data-driven skit on population growth and sustainable living.
(c) Independence Day (August): A patriotic song competition and historical speeches created a spirit of national pride.
(d) Teachers’ Day (September): Students from Class 10 organized a special tribute through poems and gratitude notes.
(e) Gandhi Jayanti (October): A street play on truth and nonviolence by Class 9 captivated the audience.
(f) Children’s Day (November): A role reversal where teachers conducted the assembly dressed as students.
(g) Republic Day (January): Students led the flag hoisting ceremony, followed by a march-past and speeches.
(h) Earth Day (April): Eco-themed slogans, quizzes, and presentations reminded students of their environmental responsibility.
How Morning Assembly Supports NEP 2020
(a) Experiential Learning
(b) By involving students in planning and executing assemblies, they learn by doing — a key NEP strategy.
(c) 21st Century Skills
(d) Assemblies foster communication, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration – the “4 Cs” promoted by NEP.
Multilingual Exposure
(a) Speeches and presentations in English, Hindi, and Marathi support NEP’s push for multi-lingualism.
(b) Integration of Arts & Culture
(c) From folk dances to national songs, students learn through expression, a strong recommendation under NEP.
(d) Learning Beyond the Textbook
According to a 2022 UNESCO report, students who participate in co-curricular activities like daily assemblies perform better academically due to improved concentration, teamwork, and emotional regulation.
Assemblies help students feel connected and responsible, and make school a place not just of learning, but of belonging.
Final Thoughts
At Crescent Public School, we see morning assembly not as a task, but as an opportunity to build character, develop leaders, and nurture compassionate citizens.
By blending daily inspiration with monthly themes and NEP-aligned goals, we prepare our children not just for exams — but for life.

July 8, 2025Unlocking Proper Capitalization: A Guide to the M.I.N.T.S. Rule
By Hina Mirza
As an educator and a professional, I often emphasize the importance of clear and correct communication. In English, one fundamental aspect that significantly impacts readability and professionalism is proper capitalization. While it might seem like a minor detail, using capital letters correctly demonstrates attention to detail and enhances the overall quality of written work. For school-going students and their parents, mastering this skill is crucial for academic success and effective everyday communication.
Fortunately, remembering the core capitalization rules doesn’t have to be a daunting task. There’s an incredibly effective and easy-to-recall mnemonic device known as the M.I.N.T.S. Rule. This simple acronym serves as a reliable checklist for the most common instances where capitalization is required. Let’s delve into each component of this valuable rule.
M – Months
The “M” in M.I.N.T.S. stands for Months. A straightforward rule dictates that all twelve months of the year must begin with a capital letter. This is because they are proper nouns, referring to specific, named periods within a calendar year.
Examples:
* Our family vacation is planned for July.
* The school reopens in August after the summer break.
* We celebrate many festivals in October and November.
I – I (The Pronoun)
The “I” refers to the first-person singular pronoun, “I.” This is a unique and absolute rule: the pronoun “I” is always capitalized, regardless of its position within a sentence. This distinguishes it from other pronouns and highlights its singular importance when referring to oneself.
Examples:
* I believe that regular practice is key to learning.
* My parents and I visited the local library last weekend.
* She asked if I would like to join the study group.
N – Names (Proper Nouns)
The “N” represents Names, specifically referring to proper nouns. This category covers the unique names of people, specific places, and particular things. Capitalizing these ensures clarity and distinguishes them from common nouns.
* For People:
* Mr. Singh, our science teacher, explains concepts very well.
* My best friend, Anya, lives in the next building.
* For Places:
* We are proud to live in Ballarpur, Maharashtra, India.
* Many tourists visit the Taj Mahal in Agra.
* For Specific Things, Organizations, or Brands:
* I enjoy reading stories from the Panchatantra.
* My new bicycle is a Hero brand.
* Our class is organizing a debate competition on World Environment Day.
T – Titles
The “T” in M.I.N.T.S. stands for Titles. This rule applies to the official titles of books, movies, songs, plays, articles, and other creative works. When capitalizing titles, generally capitalize the first and last words, along with all major words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns). Minor words like articles (“a,” “an,” “the”), prepositions, and coordinating conjunctions are usually not capitalized unless they are the very first or last word of the title.
Examples:
* Have you read the book The Little Prince?
* We watched the movie Finding Nemo as a family.
* One of my favorite songs is Yellow Submarine.
S – Start of Sentences
Finally, the “S” reminds us of the Start of Sentences. This is perhaps the most fundamental rule of capitalization: every new sentence must begin with a capital letter. This simple rule is crucial for proper sentence structure and helps readers easily follow the flow of your writing.
Examples:
* The sun is shining brightly today.
* What did you learn in school today?
* Please remember to complete your homework before dinner.
Conclusion
The M.I.N.T.S. rule is an invaluable tool for anyone looking to improve their written English. By consistently applying these five simple yet critical guidelines – capitalizing Months, the pronoun “I”, Names (proper nouns), Titles of works, and the Start of every sentence – students can significantly enhance the clarity, correctness, and overall impact of their written communication.
Parents, encouraging your children to use this mnemonic can transform capitalization from a source of frustration into a simple, logical process. Consistent practice, both in school assignments and everyday writing, will solidify these rules, paving the way for stronger writing skills.
Happy writing and happy learning!

Founder & Director, Creative Minds Preschool, Balarpur
To adults, childhood may appear to be a world of play and simplicity. But for a small child, that world is full of new experiences, strange environments, and moments of emotional uncertainty — especially when they step away from the comfort of home into the structured setting of a preschool.
In this delicate transition, one tool has consistently proven to be effective — not just for the child, but also for the parents and teachers guiding them: a consistent daily routine.
Routine: Not About Rules, But About Reassurance
In both rural and urban Indian households, today’s parents are balancing increasing demands on time with the emotional needs of their children. It’s not easy. That’s why routines are more than just schedules — they are emotional anchors for young children.
A well-paced routine tells a child:
“You are safe. You know what comes next. The world is predictable.”
As noted developmental psychologist Erik Erikson said:
“Positive early experiences form the foundation of identity. And routine is the structure that allows those experiences to take root.”
How Routine Builds Inner Strength
At our preschool, I’ve seen many children who were anxious on Day 1 turn into cheerful, confident participants within a few weeks. Why? Because they begin to recognize patterns:
(a) Now it’s circle time.
(b) After snacks, Mummy will come.
According to UNICEF’s 2021 report on early childhood:
(a) Children with predictable routines show 40% better emotional regulation
(b) They also exhibit stronger language, sleep, and learning behaviors
Routine does not make a child robotic. On the contrary, it frees up emotional energy by reducing anxiety — allowing children to focus on learning, friendships, and exploration.
What Parents Can Do at Home
The most powerful routines are the ones shared between school and home. Here are a few gentle practices that help children feel in control of their day:
(a) Begin each morning with a calm ritual: a smile, a small hug, or their favorite breakfast.
(b) Use visual daily charts for younger children (with images of brushing, eating, school, nap).
(c) Limit screen time, and replace it with stories, puzzles, or outdoor play.
(d) Most importantly — stay flexible. Routines should guide, not restrict.
When School and Home Work Together
At Creative Minds Preschool, we honor each child’s unique pace. Our school routine is not enforced with pressure, but offered with rhythm, love, and creativity. Children know when to expect fun, when to rest, and when to reunite with their family — and this predictability builds not just behavior, but deep emotional wellbeing.
In Conclusion…
Childhood doesn’t last forever — but the habits and emotional anchors we create during these years last a lifetime.
A daily routine may not seem like magic — but with love, consistency, and empathy, it becomes a magical framework that empowers children to step into the world with calm confidence.

Owner, Creative Minds Preschool, Balarpur
As the doors of Creative Minds Preschool reopen after a long vacation, we welcome the innocent giggles and tiny footsteps that bring our classrooms to life. But with this joyful return, many of our little learners—especially those joining us for the very first time—face a hidden struggle that often tugs at the hearts of parents and teachers alike: separation anxiety.
What is Separation Anxiety?
Separation anxiety is a natural and common emotional response in young children when they are separated from their parents or caregivers. It is especially noticeable in children between 18 months and 4 years of age, but it can surface any time a child experiences a new environment—such as starting school after a long holiday.
Children express separation anxiety in different ways: crying, clinging to parents, refusal to enter the school gates, stomachaches, or even silence. These are not signs of weakness—they are signs of strong bonding and attachment.
As famous developmental psychologist John Bowlby once said,
“The initial attachment between parent and child forms the blueprint for future relationships, and separation, though painful, is the first step toward independence.”
Why Does it Happen?
Young children thrive on familiarity. During vacations, they become closely attached to home routines, family members, and the comfort of their known world. Returning to school—no matter how fun or friendly the environment—can feel like a big leap into the unknown.
According to a 2023 study by the Indian Academy of Pediatrics:
(a) Over 65% of nursery-aged children show some signs of separation anxiety in the first two weeks of school.
(b) The effects are temporary in over 90% of cases, with children adapting quickly when supported by gentle routines and empathy.
What Parents Can Do
Dear parents, your role during this transition is incredibly powerful. Here are a few ways you can support your child through this emotional phase:
1. Start Talking About School Early
Use bedtime stories or role-play to create excitement about school. Highlight the fun activities, new friends, and loving teachers they will meet.
2. Create a Predictable Routine
Children feel secure with routines. A calm and consistent morning ritual—even something as simple as packing the bag together or choosing a hairclip—builds confidence.
3. Offer a Comfort Object
Let your child carry a small soft toy, a family photo, or even a handkerchief with your scent. These familiar items act as emotional bridges between home and school.
4. Keep Goodbyes Short and Sweet
Lingering at the school gate often increases anxiety. A warm hug, a kiss, and a reassuring “I’ll be back soon!” helps them feel safe and cared for.
5. Trust the Teachers
Our trained team at Creative Minds Preschool handles separation with compassion. Many teachers are parents themselves. We observe, comfort, and engage the child positively while keeping you informed.
A Message from My Heart to Yours
At Creative Minds Preschool, we understand that the first separation is often harder for the parent than for the child. But rest assured, these first goodbyes lay the foundation for self-confidence, adaptability, and emotional resilience.
In just a few weeks, the same child who cried at the gate will run toward school with joy and a smile. That moment, dear parents, is not just a sign of growth—it is a reward for your patience, love, and support.
Let’s walk this journey together, hand in hand, for our children’s brighter tomorrow.

May 30, 2025Reimagining English Education in India: A Deep Dive into CBSE’s New English Textbook Poorvi
By Humaira Khan – Educator and Curriculum Specialist
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), in alignment with the progressive vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, has recently introduced a new English textbook titled Poorvi for its primary and middle-grade learners. As a veteran English teacher who has spent years navigating the evolution of school curricula, I approached this change with both curiosity and cautious optimism. Upon thoroughly reviewing Poorvi, and comparing it with the earlier English textbooks, I am compelled to say: this book is not just a revision; it is a paradigm shift.
The Vision Behind Poorvi
At the heart of Poorvi lies a commitment to multilingualism, cultural rootedness, and experiential learning—core values of the NEP 2020. The book seeks to nurture not just linguistic competence but also cultural awareness, critical thinking, and creativity. It reflects a shift from rote memorization to holistic, competency-based learning, echoing the national move towards foundational literacy and numeracy.
Structural Innovation and Design
One of the most noticeable differences between Poorvi and the older English textbooks is the structure. Poorvi has adopted a thematic approach rather than a linear progression of grammar and comprehension. Each unit revolves around a central theme such as Nature and Nurture, Dreams and Aspirations, or Unity in Diversity, and integrates poetry, prose, dialogues, and tasks in a unified narrative arc.
The visual design is also more learner-centric. The layout is vibrant but not overwhelming, with illustrations that are culturally inclusive and age-appropriate. Unlike older books that often felt text-heavy and formal, Poorvi strikes a balance between aesthetic appeal and functional design.
Language Pedagogy: A Shift Toward Competency
In previous editions, English was primarily taught as a subject to be mastered through rules and repetition. Poorvi, however, embraces language as a tool for communication and self-expression. There is a noticeable shift toward constructivist learning—where students actively participate in meaning-making rather than passively receiving information.
The book includes:
* Contextual vocabulary building instead of isolated word lists
* Dialogic reading prompts that encourage classroom discussion
* Listening tasks with QR code-enabled audio content
* Creative writing tasks that offer open-ended prompts rather than formulaic formats
For example, in the chapter The River’s Song, students are encouraged to not only understand the poem but to write their own verses inspired by their local water bodies—an excellent exercise in both environmental consciousness and linguistic creativity.
Content Depth and Cultural Inclusion
One of the most admirable features of Poorvi is its celebration of India’s linguistic and cultural diversity. Unlike older books that often leaned toward Western-centric texts, Poorvi includes:
* Regional folk tales
* Translations of Indian authors
* Excerpts from modern Indian literature
* Stories with characters from various socio-economic backgrounds
A powerful chapter titled Mina’s Mango Tree tells the story of a tribal girl’s journey to protect her land through community storytelling. The chapter is followed by questions that link literature with civic education and environmental responsibility—blending literacy with life skills.
Alignment with NEP 2020 Goals
The integration of NEP 2020 objectives in Poorvi is evident across multiple levels:
1. Multilingualism: Each chapter ends with a “Language Connection” section where students compare English words or expressions with their equivalents in Hindi or regional languages. This not only supports better comprehension but also fosters linguistic respect.
2. Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN): In early-grade versions of Poorvi, literacy is reinforced through phonetic awareness, rhythm, and storytelling—crucial for first-generation learners.
3. Experiential and Joyful Learning: Activities like role-play, peer interviews, and field-based language assignments are frequent. The book nudges the child out of the textbook and into the real world.
4. Inclusivity and Equity: Stories in Poorvi are mindful of gender representation, special needs, and social equity. Children from underrepresented communities are portrayed as protagonists, not side characters.
Teacher Support and Classroom Integration
A textbook is only as effective as its implementation. Fortunately, Poorvi is accompanied by a detailed Teacher’s Handbook, replete with lesson plans, classroom strategies, assessment tools, and ideas for differentiated learning. The handbook encourages teachers to move beyond blackboard instruction and adopt blended pedagogies, integrating digital and real-world experiences.
Additionally, with CBSE moving toward formative assessments, Poorvi provides reflective journaling exercises, peer feedback prompts, and group project ideas, enabling continuous and holistic evaluation.
Challenges and Opportunities
While Poorvi sets a bold and refreshing tone, there will naturally be challenges:
* Teachers will need proper training to navigate the shift in pedagogy
* Classrooms with large student-teacher ratios may struggle with experiential tasks
* Access to digital resources (especially in rural areas) could limit the impact of audio-visual integrations
Yet, these are surmountable obstacles with proper investment in teacher development and school infrastructure.
Conclusion: A Step Forward
Poorvi is more than a textbook—it is a tool for transformation. By weaving together the threads of language, culture, emotion, and intellect, it prepares children not just to score marks but to live meaningful, connected lives. It embodies the spirit of NEP 2020, translating policy into practice.
For teachers like me, it is a reaffirmation that education can still inspire. For students, it is an invitation to explore the power of language in expressing their stories, dreams, and identities.
As we step into a new era of learning, Poorvi offers a promising beginning.

May 30, 2025Curiosity: NCERT’s New Science Textbook Revolutionizing Learning in Line with NEP 2020
By Humaira Khan, Educator
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has unveiled a transformative science textbook for Class 6 titled Curiosity, marking a significant departure from traditional pedagogical approaches. This innovative resource aligns closely with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, aiming to foster a more engaging, interdisciplinary, and culturally rooted science education for young learners.
A Paradigm Shift in Science Education
Curiosity embodies a shift from rote memorization to competency-based learning. The textbook emphasizes skill development through interactive exercises, real-world applications, and hands-on experiments. Students are encouraged to ask questions, explore concepts, and find meaning in scientific ideas that relate to their everyday lives. This new approach fosters critical thinking and scientific temperament — core goals of the NEP 2020.
As noted in Teacher Plus, the textbook is designed around real-world scenarios that children can relate to. One unit, for instance, focuses on “Why do we fall ill?” — not just as a biology lesson but as a broader exploration of hygiene, nutrition, public health systems, and community wellbeing.
Integration of Indian Knowledge Systems
In line with NEP 2020’s vision of integrating India’s rich heritage into modern education, Curiosity thoughtfully incorporates Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS). The textbook includes culturally relevant stories, examples from Indian history of science, and even verses from ancient Indian texts like the Charaka Samhita. Characters in the book are drawn from different Indian states, adding to regional representation and fostering inclusivity.
This aspect has been highlighted in Hindustan Times, which notes how the book incorporates “elements of the Indian knowledge system and cultural context to make learning more relatable.”
Visual and Cognitive Engagement
One of the standout features of Curiosity is its design. The textbook uses high-quality visuals, including colorful illustrations, clear diagrams, and real photographs, which support visual learners and make abstract concepts more accessible. It avoids clutter, utilizes spacious formatting, and uses child-friendly fonts and typography.
A detailed review on ResearchGate emphasizes that the book avoids dense text blocks and instead features a modular layout, which enhances readability and memory retention.
Promoting Interdisciplinary Learning
Curiosity does not isolate disciplines. It blends topics from physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science, encouraging students to think across domains. For instance, lessons about water pollution not only discuss chemical contaminants but also look at societal impacts, historical water management practices, and sustainable technologies — providing a true STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education.
Teacher Plus points out how the book uses thematic learning, such as environmental conservation, to unify science concepts from various disciplines into a single, meaningful narrative.
Alignment with NEP 2020 Goals
The National Education Policy 2020 outlines several goals that focus on holistic, student-centered learning. Curiosity aligns with these in multiple ways:
* Competency-Based Learning: Rather than testing recall, assessments in Curiosity test application, reasoning, and creativity.
* Integration of IKS: Concepts from Ayurveda, ancient metallurgy, and indigenous farming are presented alongside modern science.
* Interdisciplinary Approach: Science is linked with environmental studies, health, and even ethical discussions.
* Language Accessibility: The book uses simple, clear language with definitions built into the content, making it inclusive for learners of all backgrounds.
* Inclusive Representation: Characters include girls in leadership roles, children with disabilities, and students from various socioeconomic backgrounds.
Comparative Analysis with Previous NCERT Textbooks
Older NCERT textbooks tended to focus heavily on factual accuracy and conceptual clarity but often fell short in terms of engagement, real-life relevance, and cultural context. Diagrams were often minimal, and pedagogy leaned toward didactic explanation.
Curiosity improves on these in several ways:
Classroom Impact and Educator Perspective
As a science educator, I find Curiosity to be a much-needed step toward classroom transformation. It empowers teachers to shift from being information dispensers to facilitators of discovery. The activities are open-ended, allowing room for experimentation. The focus on observation and questioning rather than “correct answers” will reduce science anxiety and increase curiosity — the very emotion the book is named after.
Furthermore, teachers are supported with accompanying digital resources, teacher handbooks, and real-time feedback tools, making this textbook an ecosystem rather than a stand-alone product.
Conclusion
Curiosity is not just a new book — it is a new direction. By nurturing a scientific mindset through culturally grounded, visually engaging, and pedagogically sound methods, it prepares India’s youth for a future that values both knowledge and wisdom. The textbook is a tangible example of NEP 2020 in action — and a hopeful step toward educational transformation.

May 28, 2025“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his mother tongue, that goes to his heart.” – Nelson Mandela
Dear Parents and Students,
Language is not just a tool for communication—it is the heartbeat of our identity, the melody of our culture, and the thread that binds generations. At Crescent Public School, Ballarpur, we understand that the journey of education begins in the warm familiarity of a child’s first language—their mother tongue.
In the dynamic world of today, where global languages often dominate classrooms, the value of a child’s native language must not be underestimated. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has revived this vision, advocating for the use of mother tongues as mediums of instruction in early education. It’s a transformative shift—one that promises inclusive, equitable, and joyful learning.
The Emotional and Educational Power of the Mother Tongue
Every child’s learning journey begins at home, and the language spoken at home is often the first window to the world. When education begins in that same language, the child feels seen, heard, and valued.
According to UNESCO, children who receive their foundational education in their mother tongue are more likely to perform better in school, complete higher levels of education, and retain information longer. It’s not just about speaking—it’s about understanding. A concept taught in a known language becomes a life lesson; one taught in an unfamiliar tongue may just be memorized for an exam.
Studies in India have shown that children taught in their home language show higher confidence, greater participation, and deeper understanding. A World Bank report (2021) notes that using the mother tongue as a medium of instruction in early education can increase learning outcomes by up to 30%.
📚 NEP 2020: A Policy Rooted in Cultural Wisdom
The National Education Policy 2020 recognizes the significance of linguistic identity. Its approach is both progressive and deeply rooted in India’s multilingual heritage. The NEP emphasizes:
* Education in the Mother Tongue or Regional Language till at least Grade 5, and preferably up to Grade 8.
* Multilingualism to be encouraged in schools through the *Three-Language Formula*.
* Inclusion of Local Context and Culture in the curriculum to make learning more relatable.
* Availability of Textbooks and Teaching Materials in local languages to support effective implementation.
The aim is to make education child-centered, not language-centered—empowering students to think, reason, and express themselves comfortably and creatively.
Real-Life Impact: Lessons from the Ground
Let’s take the example of Odisha, where the government implemented multilingual education in tribal districts. By introducing textbooks and teaching in the tribal students’ own languages—Koya, Kui, and Saora—the dropout rate dropped by 24% over three years. Parents, once hesitant to send their children to school, felt a new sense of belonging and pride in education.
Similarly, in Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli district, where Gondi was introduced in early classes, children began participating more actively. Teachers observed a significant boost in their enthusiasm and curiosity.
These are not just statistics—they are stories of transformation, dignity, and empowerment.
At Crescent Public School, Ballarpur: Our Vision Forward
We at Crescent Public School stand firmly behind the NEP’s vision. We believe that learning should not alienate a child from their roots—it should strengthen their sense of identity while preparing them for the global stage.
Here is what we are doing:
* Inclusive Classrooms: Teachers are being trained to incorporate bilingual methods and local examples in early classes.
* Parental Involvement: We encourage parents to read, speak, and narrate stories in their home languages to nurture early literacy.
* Resource Development: Efforts are underway to include local culture and vocabulary in learning materials.
* Language Respect: Every language spoken by our students is respected and acknowledged in our classrooms.
English and other global languages are essential in today’s interconnected world. But they are best learned when the child already has a strong foundation—built in the comforting, familiar rhythms of the mother tongue.
A Call to Parents: Language is a Gift—Pass it On
Dear parents, you are your child’s first teacher. Speak to them in your native language. Share folktales, sing lullabies, teach them local idioms and expressions. These are treasures that no textbook can offer. By doing so, you are not only strengthening their vocabulary—you are giving them a sense of pride, history, and belonging.
When children are proud of who they are and where they come from, they walk into the world with confidence. They may learn English to compete, but they need their mother tongue to connect—with their roots, with others, and with themselves.
In Conclusion: Education Rooted in the Heart
Let us not see language as a barrier, but as a bridge. A bridge that connects generations, that carries culture, and that lays the path for confident learning. NEP 2020 is not merely a policy—it is a reminder that in diversity lies our strength.
At Crescent Public School, we are not just teaching subjects—we are nurturing souls. And every soul begins its journey in the language of its heart.
Let’s build a future where every child learns freely, confidently, and joyfully—starting with the words they first learned to speak.
Warm regards,
Principal
Crescent Public School, Ballarpur

May 27, 2025Hello Dear Parents,
Have you ever noticed how your little one scribbles on paper, draws endless circles, or loves squeezing play dough? Believe it or not, all these fun little actions are actually important steps toward writing. Yes – writing starts long before we teach children how to form letters!
Let’s talk a bit about pre-writing skills – what they are, why they matter, and how you can help at home.
What Are Pre-Writing Skills?
Before a child can write, they need to build control over their hands and fingers. These early skills are called pre-writing skills. They help children hold a pencil, draw lines, shapes, and patterns – all the stuff that makes writing possible.
Think of it like this: You can’t build a house without a strong base, right? Pre-writing skills are the base of your child’s writing journey.
Some examples of pre-writing activities include:
* Scribbling and doodling
* Tracing lines and curves
* Playing with blocks, beads, or puzzles
* Drawing shapes like circles, squares, and zigzags
Why Are These Skills So Important?
Here’s something interesting: A recent child development study found that over 80% of children who had strong hand control before age 5 had fewer struggles with writing in primary school. That’s a big number!
Teachers often notice that kids with poor pencil grip or weak fine motor skills take longer to catch up in reading and writing. On the other hand, children who practice these early skills tend to feel more confident and learn faster.
In other words, helping your child build hand strength now makes learning easier later.
What We Do at School
At Creative Minds Preschool, we focus a lot on pre-writing – but we do it through play! We never rush children into writing letters too early. Instead, we build the foundation through:
* Clay and play dough time (great for finger strength)
* Sand tracing and air writing (perfect for pattern learning)
* Coloring inside shapes
* Bead threading and buttoning games
* Pattern drawing with thick crayons or chalk
We also encourage lots of movement – running, jumping, crawling – because body control and balance are connected to writing too!
How You Can Help at Home
You don’t need fancy tools or apps. Just a few minutes a day of playful practice at home can make a big difference.
Here are some easy ideas:
* Let your child color with crayons or chalk
* Ask them to draw wavy, straight, or zigzag lines
* Give them clothespins, kitchen tongs, or sponges to play with
* Draw in sand or flour with fingers
* Avoid pushing letter writing too early – patterns come first!
Final Thoughts
Every child grows at their own pace, and that’s perfectly okay. But building these simple skills early will help your child feel more confident and capable when formal writing begins.
So next time your little one is busy drawing “nonsense” or playing with blocks – smile. They’re learning.
Thank you for being a part of your child’s journey with us. At Creative Minds, we’re proud to be building bright beginnings together.
With love and warmth,
Mrs. Humera Khan
