Mangoes and Mischief: A Saturday Storytime Adventure
At Schoolkutti.com children’s library, a vibrant Saturday Storytime unfolded, bringing joy, laughter, and a sprinkle of mischief to young minds. This week’s enchanting session revolved around the delightful book “Mangoes and Mischief”.
As the children gathered around the cozy reading nook, the story unfolded. Malu and Moidooty find themselves in a pickle for stealing mangoes. And they were in trouble, the demon Maangasura cursed them. To reverse the curse Malu and Moidooty should find many, many more mangoes and mango dishes.
Kids were very enthusiastic to share their favorite mango dishes. After the story session, the children were invited to participate in interactive activities and we made mangoes with colorful craft papers.
Saturday Storytime
What can be more entertaining than the story of everyone’s favorite family cat? Last Saturday, we read the story of Mog the cat who did a bad thing during our storytime session. The gentle humour with the colourful, endearing pictures was a smashing hit with the little ones.
There was plenty to talk about as we went along, and plenty to smile about too. Mog’s toilet is referred to as her lavatory so we had to have a small chat about what that was before we could follow what was happening with naughty Mog. Some of the kids mentioned about the” Kandan Poocha “(Tom cat) of their house and how big they were. All of us had fun sharing our experience with cats of all kinds – white cats, black cats, fluffy cats, striped cats and the list went on. The heroic entry of Mog at the end of the story was a pleasant surprise for the kids. After reading and discussing the story, we made cat faces with the craft paper. Some cats were cute with crowns and others were scary with sharp teeth. Saturdays are always so much fun at Schoolkutti, but this one was a little bit extra special!
Parent diary on internship opportunity@ Schoolkutti.com Children’s Library
Hello schoolkutti family! I’m Nandini’s (the famous intern 😁) amma, Priya. I’d like to thank the schoolkutti team for giving Nandini the opportunity to work in a safe space, to understand work ethics, and to realise for herself what she is capable of. She learned a lot this past month, helping the summer camp kids with their crafts, reading stories to the little ones occasionally, giving book suggestions to library members who asked for advice and so much more. I’m deeply grateful for this chance that you gave her. Special thanks to Seema and the wonderful schoolkutti staff who took Nandini under their loving wings and taught her to fly! We love you all to the moon and back! ❤️

Storytime – Winnie the Witch
Last Saturday’s story session was all about magic and a lot of fun. Winnie, the Witch, had a series of trouble since her house and pet cat was both black. As a result, she decided to alter the cat’s colour to green, and then to a blend of other shades, which made her beloved cat seem bizarre and made him unhappy. Because Winnie adored her cat, she desired to restore the cat’s black colour and modify the colour of her home. The kids stated that Winnie could have done this sooner and avoided the problems since she is a brilliant witch after all. Maybe she enjoyed her black house so much, but she eventually realized that her love for her cat outweighed her love for the black house. We chose to play line game as our language game and made spider webs for crafts, and painted various spiders on them.
Storytime at Schoolkutti Library
Regardless of age, the presents we get from our parents on Christmas Day, as well as the memories we share with our family, make the occasion meaningful and memorable. Sam in this story is likewise a little curious about his Christmas present, so he decides to go gift hunting. Sam could only find gifts for others after searching every nook and cranny in the house. Later, he discovered his gift wrapped in silver paper under his bed. Despite his curiosity, he has decided to wait till Christmas. During story time, children were excited to discuss what they received as a gift last Christmas and what they are anticipating this Christmas. The list went on and on, from puzzles to remote control cars. Then everyone seemed disappointed at the end of the narrative since they didn’t know Sam’s gift. But, in the end, they all agreed with Sam’s decision not to open the present. Later, we played a story-related word game in which everyone seemed to be competing to guess each word. In celebration of the Christmas season, we made paper Santa Clauses for crafts, and the children transformed the white Santa into a Christmassy Santa by adding red and green colours.
Helen O’Grady at Schoolkutti Children’s Library
After ten days of rehearsals to polish each scene, the final performance of the drama “Ashoka, The Great” was held on Saturday at Schoolkutti Children’s Library. The kids put on such an energizing presentation for the eyes. Throughout the performance, the excellence in their dialogues and acts has been remarkable. It was a gratifying occasion for both our organization and the parents to watch such brilliant performances from the children in such a short amount of time. The kids succeeded in keeping the rhythm of the drama with various emotions such as triumph, happiness, adamance, and awareness of the true meaning of life till the end of the drama, and they also succeeded in connecting those feelings with the audience. The play concludes with a significant message that all the leaders of today must remember “Being a leader comes with great power and responsibility”.

Helen O’Grady at Schoolkutti Library
When the Helen O’Grady speech and drama class entered the fourth week, the kids were all prepared to play the characters from “Ashoka, the Great.” Just like other Saturdays, the session started with their favourite drama song and speech exercise to help them project their words while delivering lines. To prepare the children for their roles as characters in the major drama and to assess the depth of their understanding of drama, they were separated into two groups and given a short scene and a handful of dialogues, then instructed to extend the scenario with many more dialogues and perform on stage. They all did an outstanding job without any surprises. Following both groups’ performances, the conversation regarding how to employ properties successfully on stage was also mentioned. The previous lesson was also about deciding on and assigning appropriate characters to the children. The drama “Ashoka, the Great” officially began after the character division. The dialogue and the significance of giving each character different emotions were addressed in the last lesson. Throughout the drama lesson, everyone’s body language represented the royal people’s attitude. The lesson closed with a discussion about how they could modify their personalities to make them even better.
Guided Reading Series
Following the creation of interest in books and tales, this is the second phase in guided reading. Reading aloud to your children is one of the best ways to help them become excellent readers. This would assist children in understanding pronunciation, word repetition, correct pauses following phrases, and tone change. Books at this level are made up of short compelling stories with simple vocabulary and repeated words and phrases to assist children to remember these words when they reappear in the story.
