What comes to your mind when you see\/hear the word \u201c Reflection\u201d? \u201cMirror\u201d and \u201cmyself\u201d ; these are the words that come to my mind. I can see my Reflection in the mirror and can talk to myself. I can pose questions to myself and explore answers. I get a reality check when I see myself and introspect. But \u201cReflection\u201d is possible without a mirror. It is a process through which one goes inwards to think deeply about an experience. The mirror here is your own inner self.<\/span><\/p>

Ekya builds \u201creflection\u201d as a skill and a process into its curricular and cocurricular activities. Starting from \u201c What went well in today\u2019s class\u201d to \u201c What could be done better next time?\u201d, Reflection is an integral part of Ekya\u2019s ethos.<\/span><\/p>

The \u201cpick and speak\u201d competition conducted for grades 3 & 4 on 06th July saw students participate with utmost enthusiasm. The enthusiasm was not restricted to participation alone ; it skyrocketed during the reflection process.<\/span><\/p>

After the competition, students were asked to reflect upon their experiences on the following lines<\/span><\/p>

  • \u201cWhat went well for me?\u201d<\/span><\/li>
  • \u201cWhat will I do differently next time?\u201d<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    The 9 and 10 year olds reflected deeply and came up with the following pointers<\/span><\/p>

    • What went well for me? (few student responses to this question are listed below)<\/span>
      • \u201cThe topic was very familiar.\u201d<\/span><\/li>
      • \u201cI was able to rehearse well during the preparation time.\u201d<\/span><\/li>
      • \u201cI did not forget my lines.\u201d<\/span><\/li>
      • \u201cI had sufficient preparation time.\u201d<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>
        • What do you think I should do differently next time? (few student responses to this question are listed below)<\/span>
          • \u201cI will write faster during the preparation time.\u201d<\/span><\/li>
          • \u201cI will write short keywords to convey my idea during preparation.\u201d<\/span><\/li>
          • \u201cI will practice at home in front of the mirror.\u201d<\/span><\/li>
          • \u201cI will not be nervous.\u201d<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>

            During this reflective process, our 3rd and 4th graders showed a lot of courage and deep thinking that could lead to better performance next time. This is a life skill that helps one grow from where one is to where one\u2019s potential lies.<\/span><\/p>

            \u201cReflection\u2026 Looking back so the view looking forward is clearer.\u201d said, someone. I couldn\u2019t agree more with this.<\/span><\/p>
