KINDERGARTEN EDITION

Dear Valued Parents,

Greetings from GCIS!

It is a privilege to connect with our youngest and most

dynamic group of parents, who play an essential role in

shaping our vibrant community. I was delighted to meet

some of you at the recent choral recitation event, and I

must say, the performance was truly a visual treat.

In this newsletter, I would like to share some key insights

and best practices that are crucial in the early years of

your child’s education. Three significant aspects have

caught my attention, and I believe they will be beneficial

to all of us as we nurture our young learners together.

1. Learning Through Play

Learning is not just a duty; it is a joyful experience. It is essential to foster this belief in our children from the

earliest age. Play is a powerful tool through which children grasp concepts and make sense of the world around

them. Whether they are in kindergarten or even senior secondary, learning through play encourages joy,

curiosity, and understanding. Therefore, it’s important not to compel children into learning tasks but rather let

them discover and enjoy learning naturally.

2. Active Learning

Children learn best when they are actively engaged in tasks. When they attempt something independently, like

making a clay doll, they may not succeed on their first try. However, through perseverance and practice, they

will develop crucial life skills—patience, fine motor coordination, and problem-solving. This hands-on learning

teaches them to embrace challenges, stay grounded in nature, and remain calm under pressure. These early

lessons will serve them well as they grow.

3. Learning Languages

The early years are a golden period for language development, and children have an incredible ability to learn

multiple languages. It’s important to encourage this at home, particularly by reinforcing their connection to

their mother tongue, which keeps them rooted in their cultural heritage. Learning different languages

enhances creativity, fosters critical thinking, and lays the foundation for a richer, more fulfilling life in the

future.

As always, your involvement and support play a pivotal role in your child’s development. Together, we can

cultivate a learning environment that nurtures curiosity, resilience, and a lifelong love for knowledge.

I would like to thank you for your continued dedication to your child’s learning journey. We value your

partnership and are excited to continue collaborating in providing the best possible start for your little ones.

Should you have any questions or wish to discuss your child’s progress, feel free to reach out to our team.

MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE PRINCIPAL’S DESK

Looking forward to more wonderful moments of learning and growth!

Warm regards,

Mr.Venkata Suresh Lolla

This August, GCIS Kindergarten was abuzz with

excitement as we celebrated Friendship Day and

engaged in an array of fun, hands-on academic

activities. At GCIS, we strive to make every day a

fun learning experience, and this month was no

exception!

In addition to our regular curriculum, we had a

blast celebrating Independence Day with a dress-

up theme where our little ones and even teachers

came dressed as national heroes and different

state-inspired attire. The day was filled with

drama, laughter, and lots of fun.

Overall, August was an incredible month for our

tiny tots, packed with memorable moments,

exciting

activities,

and

valuable

learning

experiences. We're so grateful to have shared in

the joy and wonder of our children's educational

journey!

Bite into Wellness, Savor the Flavor, and Nourish one’s body and mind!

Embark on a flavorful journey with us as we celebrate Healthy Food Month! This August, our

little explorers ventured into the vibrant world of nutritious eating, uncovering the secrets to

growing strong and healthy bodies.

We initiated this culinary adventure with a gentle encouragement to make wholesome

choices, and our students enthusiastically embraced the challenge. By incorporating a variety

of fruits and vegetables into their snack boxes, they discovered the wonders of healthy eating

and developed a palate for new flavors.

But that was just the beginning! Our KG II students embarked on a thrilling sensory

experience, exploring the textures, patterns, and tastes of diverse fruits and vegetables

through blind tasting. This exciting journey not only refined their sense of taste but also

broadened their understanding of the nature’s bounty.

Meanwhile, our children unleashed their creativity through vegetable printing creating a

stunning visual symphony. Each vegetable brought its unique texture and pattern, creating a

breathtaking display of color and artistry.

GCIS Kindergarten Friendship Day was a

melodic celebration of joy, laughter, and love!

Our little ones harmonized together, creating a

symphony of sweet memories. With crayons,

glitter, and colorful beads, they crafted tokens

of friendship, from handmade cards to

personalized bracelets. The air was filled with

the music of giggles and happy chatter, a

testament to the beauty of friendship.

The

excitement

continued

with

heartwarming "Show and Tell" activity, where

friends proudly shared pictures of their own

friends and family, telling stories and sharing

sweet

memories.

This

tender

exchange

celebrated

the

joy

connection

and

community, as our kindergarten friends

learned to appreciate and cherish the special

people in their lives."

“We’re better together!”
