Parents are a child’s first teachers. All of us look up to our parents and learn a lot of things from them. We, at Chennai Public School understand that the learning happens in the every moment parents share with their child. So, we invited the parents for a session in their ward’s classroom.  Ms. Swathy Eswari, parent of Deeksha S from IV-A took part in our Parent Involvement Program on 3^rd December 2022. She brought in much excitement and zeal to the class with her postcard writing activity. Our 21^st century children were learning about a way of communication by experiencing it for the first time. The classroom was full of chatter and happy laughs. We wholeheartedly thank the parent for her presence and definitely would like to see her more in coming session in future.
