School Library...
Today I took my students to their first library period and it was a great experience to see them more interested in reading the books rather than looking here and there. The shear happiness to come out of the classroom and going to a special room and to read new books was quite evident from their beaming eyes. Also they discussed about importance of books afterwards. So few advantages which they shared were: books gives information, knowledge( finally they started using these so called big words). They help us to score good marks and learn. Most funny or rather deep was from Abbas ( the critical thinker of the classroom)
"Bhaiya, we should take care of the books." I replied why Abbas? He said,"Bhaiya when we grow old and want a job, the company will take a test. So if we tear our books or lose them, we will not read from them and will score 0 in marks and not get the job.
