Print Rich Environment in the class room
In the well-established and well-organized classroom at The Dnyanada School, there is print everywhere! This does not negate the fact that visual picture reminders of classroom schedules, rules, etc., are critical to the social and emotional development of the children. However, words are placed next to any visual clue to help the children understand about print. Here are ways that a teacher at Dnyanada creates a print-rich environment.
Posted Alphabet –
There are at least two alphabet charts posted in every classroom in the Lower Primary classes. These charts are at the eye level of the children.
Upcoming Artists –
Different drawing done by the students is displayed on the soft board to encourage the upcoming artists.
Classroom Libraries –
Each classroom has at least 4 books per child available at all times. They keep them in a shelf in one corner in the classroom where the children, in their free time, can go and read.
Writing Centers –
‘Healthy handwriting is a master tool.’ Keeping this in mind at Dnyanada, we have special handwriting expert to improve the writing of the teachers and as well as the students. A monthly based programs helps our student to improve not only their handwriting but also impires them to use handwriting as master tool to remove distraction of mind and improve study skill as well.

21) Caring and nurturing learning environment
Traditionally, teachers used to think of a conducive classroom environment as one where students are under the complete control of the teacher through rules and regulations which he or she has set.
However the trend today is different. The classroom and school environment is now more inclined towards providing a caring and nurturing learning environment.
It is just the same at Dnyanada English School. It is composed not only of the physical features of the school and classroom but also the attitudes of the students and the teacher. The development of the students is tied to the physical and socio-emotional climate that they experience in Dnyanada English School.
At Dnyanada English School forming congenial relationships is a priority by carrying out respectable dialogues, by practicing encouragement and affirmation, by taking decisions through shared involvement and resolving conflict through amicable methods.
