Hari OM
Dear children and parents, October 5th class details are updated. Thanks.
The class started a little late after the navarathri session in the assembly. We had a continuity by adding kids' navarathri experiences in the class. They were all very happy and excited to share their little observations and interpretations. We introduced the Goddesses Mahasakthi, Mahalakshmi and Mahasaraswathy. We then emphasized on the Goddess of Knowledge, to whom we pray to bestow her divine blessings before learning a new thing/lesson and also pray for her continual blessings. We learned a new sloka, Saraswathy namasthubyam.
We then revised the Gajananam slokam with chanting OM 3 times. The kids were excited about chanting and learning as they all formed a circle in the center of our classroom.
We then continued with our action bhajan- come here my dear ganapathy... we learned the next line from where we left last session and understood the line with a story, how Ganesh Ji gained a name Mooshika vahana. So far, we have seen 4 names of ganesh ji... Gajanana, Uma suta, Eka danta (with story) and Mooshika vahana (with story)
We had a potty break and kids had a little recess to walk the hallway for a quick change of the classroom atmosphere. As soon as they're back, we had the snack time.
Parents please feel free to sign up for volunteering to bring in snacks for the class kids.. Please remember "no nuts". Juice is not a must, but no issues if you get them.
Parents, please send in a water bottle with your child to classroom. Please send a small hand sanitizer to cleanse their palm, after using crayons or before the snack time. Please send in some crayons with them.
We would like the parents to re-enforce the learning at home. At this level, we ask parents to talk to the kids about the stories they learned at Balavihar.
We colored a picture of Saraswathy towards the end of the class. We concluded with the closing prayer.
The next session is on 10/12/14. Thanks.
Rajesh and Vidhya
