Beyond Books: Life Lessons from Sunday School - Jayant Raj

Yesterday’s Sunday school session was more than just an ordinary reading activity—it taught me something far more valuable than what we usually learn in school. Reading The Door-to-Door Bookstore gave me insights into managing my emotions. However, what truly stood out was when Manisha Ma’am spoke about a topic that, in my opinion, is often overlooked in education: the five essential skills every student should develop.

This topic deserves much more attention and should be promoted in every school, as it helps students stay focused on their goals while fostering self-awareness and resilience.

Moments, Moods, and Meanings: Reflections from Carl and Schascha’s World - Aayush Kumar Singh

 

Jai Hind to all,

I am Aayush Kumar Singh from Sunbeam Ballia, studying in Class 10 A, and I would like to share my reflection on today’s session by Mr Jugjiv Singh Sir.

Carl, Schascha, and the Shifting Moods

We began by exploring how the weather affects our mood, just like it did for Carl and Schascha. It’s interesting how a gloomy day can really get under your skin, but then a simple pleasure—like the ice cream Carl and Schascha shared—can completely turn things around. It shows how even small moments of joy can lift our spirits.

The Simon Incident: A Puzzling Push

The incident where Simon pushed Schascha definitely sparked some conversation. We discussed various reasons why a boy might do something like that. Carl’s interpretation—that Simon might actually like Schascha—offered a sweet, if slightly mischievous, perspective. It makes you wonder if kids sometimes use playful teasing as a way to hide their true feelings.

A Quick Detour into English Spellings

Just when we were completely immersed in Carl and Schascha's world, we took a fascinating detour into the differences between American and British English spellings. It was a great reminder of how language has its own interesting variations, even within the same language.
