An elderly woman from Kerala found a creative way to teach children, turning a patch of sand into a makeshift blackboard and using a stick to write on it. A video of the woman, affectionately known as Ashaatti Ammumma, teaching a group of young students outside was posted on Instagram by Mom of Safaachiii.

Ashaatti Ammumma was seen in the video sitting in front of a row of seated kids while carrying a bucket full of sand. The children looked on with curiosity as she sprinkled the sand on the ground. After spreading it evenly with a stick, she took a seat on a stool. When the sandy surface was ready, she started using the stick to write the alphabet while also displaying its cursive form.
