Once upon a time , there was a little boy named Achyuth. He was riding fast on a bike to the Toy ‘Kada’.

Today was my first field trip. Mommy was a bit worried but daddy was super cool. The teacher said we were celebrating Dr.Seuss’s birthday. I don’t know him. But that’s alright. I love all birthdays. We went to a different school in a VAN. I’ve never been in a van before. It was awesome. We did a counting game. I used my ‘Math power’ and colored all the rectangles. Then we made a ‘cat in the hat’ puppet. I know him. I like his ‘thingamajigger’. But I don’t like ‘thing 1’ and ‘thing 2’. They are trouble. I also got a special telescope. You have to look through it and turn, turn, turn. It has pattern power. I will show mommy how to use it. She will be really surprised. Ms.Nicole calls it  a kaleidoscope.  Back at school, she gave us lunch (cheese sandwich, peaches , green beans and milk). I think I’ll just go home and eat some dosas. Mmm…they are yummy.

We sauntered slowly along the sidewalk listening to the train horn, watching airplanes and counting pick up trucks. “I got you , Amma” , the sudden yell brought me back to the world. He clung to my leg , lifted it slowly and put it down as if he were teaching me to walk. “There, all done.”, he exclaimed proudly. It took me a second to figure out what was going on. I tripped on the uneven pavement yesterday. I didn’t fall and I thanked him for holding onto my hand. He was saving me from another stumble. Gracias mi amigo.   Thanks for rescuing me.

Time to develop scissor skills , baby.
Here, let me show you.
You hold your scissors like this and cut…cut…cut.
Don’t worry, they are safety scissors.
Now, you try.
Oh! you look bored.
Maybe we ought to try later.
Let’s try again tomorrow.
What are you doing ?
Why are you so silent?
It’s OK if you don’t understand anything.
You will catch up.
Wait a minute, something’s wrong with this silence.
God! You’re trying to snip my pants.
I see you picked up something.

CLASS DISMISSED!
