CULTURE IN CLASSROOM

Culture is an important part of human adaptation and it constantly affects every

aspects of our life. It influences the world and people around us. The moment we
enter into the classroom we bring our own culture with us; this influences the
way we think and act.

Understanding our own individual culture increases our confidence and ability to
work with students and peer group in the school. As an educator one should be
aware enough about the role culture plays in your interactions with others. It will
not only enhance your own personality and relation but it also increases your own
brand value and the institution you work for.

Though the culture starts from home, academically the foundation starts from
kindergarten, the other day one of my subordinate asked me why it is required
we celebrate different colour days in preschool. Celebrating colors in preschool is
just not for exhibiting it has a concept to be taught behind, which is made to
understand by the way of play and fun to the tiny tots. For instance, seeing the
color yellow I visualize the sunshine, the spring which makes me happy.

While celebrating Yellow day, now these little tripadites know that yellow is the
most luminous of all the colors of the spectrum. It is the colour that captures our
attention more than any other colour. Our natural environment and daily life
experiences the yellow colour in sunflower, daffodils, egg yolks, lemons, canaries
and bees. In our contemporary human-made world, yellow is the colour of
Sponge Bob, the Tour de France winner’s jersey, happy faces, post its, and signs
that alert us to danger or caution.

It’s the colour of happiness, and optimism, of enlightenment and creativity,

sunshine and spring.
