Rabindranath Tagore says:
"We rob the child of his earth to teach him
Geography of Language,
To teach him Grammar
His hunger is for epic but he is supplied
with chronicles of facts and dates
He was born in a human world but banished into a world of living gramophones to live for the
original sin of being born in ignorance"

 
"Education without Experience & Exposure is Incomplete!"

Do you watch History Channel? Well, I do. Recently, they have aired 'Road to Season 2' on 1st June 2008 with the amazing highlights on Ice Road Truckers on Season 1 and a preview of show of Season 2. The adrenaline packed series which is shot in high definition with 50+ cameras in the most brutal conditions in zero degrees in Artic, gives a glimpse of the most dangerous occupation in the world.

Ice Road Truckers is a American documentary style Reality show telecasted on Sundays. The Season 1 led to Yellow Knife to the Diamond mines and the Season 2 towards Inuvik, which is at the top of the world where the ice roads run up a river and across Arctic ocean to natural gas drilling sites.

It is amazing to know that 70% people on web searching for Ice Road Truckers are looking for 'How much money does an Ice Road Trucker make?' For every load they haul, they could make up to 2000$ but I did read here that they can make upto $15-30000 in 60 days!

You can find more on this on the History Channel or find Blogs with Kidsfreesouls Search. Anyways, here's the recent Kidsfreesouls You Tube that gives you a glimpse on the amazing Ice Road Trucker video.

Here's the recently added Comprehension on Ice Road Trucker in Grammar fun section. You can print the sheet and use for classroom activity. Also download the Ice Road Truck wallpaper and create your own wall papers too. The worksheet also has online view on Ice Road Truck video apart from video on Kidsfreesouls You Tube . I will be adding more worksheets in Grammar fun section, so keep visiting and keep the faith.

It's a pride for every American heart to stand up and say, "I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know, I'm Free" (The song written before 9/11). Here's a video on Kidsfreesouls You Tube that you may find Interesting. You can click here on You Tube below too.

And here's the Lyrics of the Song: I'm Proud to be an America (Lee Greenwood)
video on Kidsfreesouls You Tube

If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life,
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife,
I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today,
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
And they can't take that away.

I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A.
From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas from sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to L.A.,

There's pride in every American heart
And it's time we stand and say:
I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A.

Btw, till I work on the Grammar Fun sections to add more Comprehensions as per the email request from Julee Mehta, Saudi Arabia, here's finding US cities wordsearch fun. You can also find July Month Calendar for download and Projects for kids here. Enjoy!


In 1984, President Ronald Reagan declared July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice-cream Day(July 20). Most of the people enjoy Ice-cream as fun and nutritious food. The history of ice cream can be traced to the Roman Empire, China, and India.It was introduced to England in the 17th century reached America in the 18th. It was a London caterer named Philip Lenzi who first announced in a New York newspaper that he would be offering for sale various confections, including ice cream. Dolly Madison served it in 1812. However, The first ice cream parlor in America opened in 1776.

You can find more on Google Search here on history of the Ice-cream. If you want to try my Ice-cream recipes, here's my winning Recipes that got me win Ice-cream Making Machine in Times of India Ice-cream Recipe contest earlier.

Btw, Researchers in Britain have discovered strong links between how well children get along with their parents and their success at school. Children who eat together with their parents every day are likely to do better in the school exams. The study is based on 20000 students across Britain. As such, saying 'Grace' at meal times should be the routine in every family. What kids really want for Dinner is love and affection. Family meals together is indeed a recipe for healthy kids. Here's a Free pdf for download from Casa Columbia on Importance of Family Dinner. Here is more on the topic of Family First to give an insight of the importance of staying connected in fast paced lifestyle. Indeed, it's Recipe for Life too!


One question that every parent or a teacher should ask herself, "Do the child have his own Identity?" Healthy Identities help children to know themselves better and reach the goal they want. Children reveal their identities as they make their own choice - choosing dress, colours, food, friends they associate with, activities they prefer, etc.

When children pick up activities in the class, teachers know the choice selection - some like drawing, some crafts or some kids prefer, reading. It is important to develop an emotional string with children and ask them questions on what they like - eg. games or drawing. You will find their reasons for choosing the activitiy. Listen to your child's ideas and support his choice without any judgement. Some children have complexes. Some are superior and some have inferiority complex. All needed is love and understanding. The child is not born with an Identity but the environment and especially, by observing, playing and working with others, older and younger than themselves, that they discover what they do and what they can do. It is a gradual process of embedding into the child, the cultural and moral, social values of parents' culture or influence and shaping by training offered by parents and teachers. Here's more you can find on Building Identitites on Scholastic and Kaboose and even through Kidsfreesouls Google Search here.

Btw, it was Hellen Keller's who made a unique Identity in spite of being Blind. She even became a lecturer and Author in her life. Here's a note extract on her as her Birthday just celebrated:

Helen Keller (Adams) was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama on 27th June 1880 - An American author and lecturer, who, having overcome considerable physical handicaps, she served as an inspiration for other afflicted people. When 19 months old, she was stricken with a severe illness that left her deaf and blind. No way could be found to educate her until her seventh year, when she began her special education in reading and writing with Anne Mansfield Sullivan, later Macy, of the Perkins Institute for the Blind. She quickly learned to read by the Braille system and to write by means of a specially constructed typewriter. She later became a Lecturer and an Author.  Her writings include The Story of My Life (1903), The World I Live In (1908), Out of the Dark (1913), Midstream-My Later Life (1930), Let Us Have Faith (1940), Teacher: Anne Sullivan Macy (1955), and The Open Door (1957). Her life is the subject of a film, The Unconquered (1954) and a play, The Miracle Worker (1960; made into an award-winning film in 1962), by the American author William Gibson.


Children at Swagat had fun doing the Fairyland Project with stories by Artie Knapp. Now, they have chosen the topic 'Vocabulary' and will be making a Vocabulary Project. They are learning to read and find words from Dictionary. Also read the Pictorial Dictionaries in the Library. They will be playing word games like the scrabble and later when they are ready to jot down the words, make sheets of 15 words per page (10 sheets). They also have worksheets to go along with, while they share their sheets and copy the words they like the most. They are learning the words used in doubles and triples (find in Grammar Fun-Comprehension), Synonyms, Antonyms, sounds and the rhyme words too. This helps them to enhance their vocabulary skills with right selection of words as per the grades.

Well, here's the Kidsfreesouls Grammar section which provide links to worksheets and other areas. This section is updated from time to time. So, check in for updates.

Btw, here's Ten tips for teaching New Vocabulary words and you can even download some worksheets that are free and probably you may miss on Kidsfreesouls Grammar section.

Btw, summer reading is always fun and still if you are enjoying summer moods, here's to encourage reading and make the kids write reviews. Children can be encouraged to write small reviews after they finish reading a book. A simple jot down in the scrap like:

Name of the Book
Author's Name
Characters in the Book
Best Part I like
Hard Words in the Book,
My Opinion and lastly, Sign of the Student and Teacher's sign.

Once a week, one review writing and you have 52 reviews ready in a year. Even if the child skips writing, at least there will be 25 book reviews written - five may be beginning efforts but the remaining will be written properly with a little bit of help from the parent or teacher. Reading also improves, so do narrating the story and finally, writing - handwriting improves and also the language while they write the review. If the student is not willing to write the review, there should be an option to write a letter to a friend telling about the story. I adopt this teaching method in my classroom and by the end of the year, I do get great results. Why - Try this method for a year and I am sure, you will find good results too.

    "An iceberg off Antarctica. According to Robin Bell of Columbia University’s Earth Institute, if the West Antarctic ice sheet were to disappear, sea level would rise almost 19 feet; the ice in the Greenland ice sheet could add 24 feet to that; and the East Antarctic ice sheet could add yet another 170 feet to the level of the world’s oceans."

    Recent NASA photos showed the opening of the Northwest Passage and that a third of the Arctic’s sea ice has melted in recent decades. Are sea levels already starting to rise accordingly, and if so what effects is this having?   - Dudley Robinson, Ireland
