10 Gulab Jamuns at ICC – India Community Center
I had a vibrant and involved book reading session at the ICC center in Milpitas last weekI did a morning session with excited preschoolers. They were so involved. Everyone was excited to see foods that they recognized in the book. Later in the evening, I read to an enthusiastic bunch of after-schoolers. They were extremely active and eager. They listened carefully and some of them declared “I like the story”. I gave them a prompt of “If I had 10 Gulab Jamuns” and asked them to write a story with pictures and if they wanted, words. Boy, were they creative!
