Free online Kids Test

It is been while. 
Me and Priya are very much following that Abhinav should not be burden with "Study Study Study" buzz even during exam time. But whenever he likes to put extra effort on his favorites ( EVS and Maths), we wont stop it. Infact, Abhinav wrote FA4 exam without preparing at home. It is clealry telling that he is concentrating very good in class room. Though his Teacher complians about his carelessness and mischeviousness at class. She also tells about his lack of concenteration on relative basis. It is real conflict. But he is very good in learning provided he likes that subject. He is average in Hindi ( probably inheritance from me and Priya).


Abhinav is enjoying the Free online Kids test. Thanks to IXL and Softschool. IXL offers free 20 question in Maths and English each on daily basis. IXL framework is very good and it gives step by step platform for stressfree Learning. It is all "Choose the best answer type with Pictorial representation whereever is possible". If you choose wrong answer, it gives very good explanation.


Softschool also gives extraordinarly learning without boundaries for kids. With parents, Kids can enjoy these Games based Learning. Simple addition is mixed with coloring which triggers effective participation by Abhinav. 

Parents, why dont you try good things which comes at free ( except data cost).

Big Snail

We spotted big snail in our House compound wall. Snails are amazing species. I clicked with my Samsung Mobile :( .
Few Facts about Snail:

1. Some snails Hibernate.
Some species of snails actually hibernate during the colder months of the year. They cover their bodies with a thin layer of mucus, which prevents them from drying out. Sometimes snails are also able to hibernate in the summer to survive if they are faced with a severe drought. They live off of the stored up fat during this time of year. This process is one of the many reasons why they have been able to survive for million years.

2. Snails can have a long life.
The life span for snails depends on their habitat and the species. Some of them only live for about 5 years. However, others in the wild are believed to be up to 25 years old in unusual occasions.

3. There are huge snails.
The largest land snail recorded was 12 inches long and weighed near 2 pounds. It belonged to the Giant African Land Snail species. Other species are extremely small being only a few centimeters long when they are adults and weighing just a couple of ounces.

4. Snail Moving.
While moving, snails they leave behind a trail of mucus. This mucus acts as a powerful lubricant to reduce friction against the surface. This is why they are able to move upside down, around corners, and other situations.

5. Snail Mucus.
It is a myth that this mucus is going to make humans ill. Many people worry that snails being in their garden will ruin the foods grown there and make them unfit for consumption but that is all false.

6. Living with no rush.
Garden snails (helix apersa) a top speed of 50 yards per hour, this is about 1.3 cm. per second. While they don’t move fast, they do move at a very steady pace. The snails are one of the slowest creatures on the entire Earth.
