Objective of meeting:

Ø We adults (teachers/parents) should say more stories to the children using the things / creatures that we can see in our local environment.

Ø It can be our real stories. Because through stories children learn to solve their problems in their future and get to learn more vocabularies and concepts.

Ø Voice is a powerful tool to express our feelings.

Ø Flora and fauna are around us and we should observe them deeply.

Ø No creature is ugly / bad in god’s creation and every creature is created to play their role in the eco system.Only mongoose fights with snake(venomous) because mongoose has anti-venom.
