As announced we had Back to Balavihar, where parents get a chance to visit their kids' classroom, meet with the teachers and gets to know how the teachers have planned with the lesson for the year. Since ours is a parent-child class, we as teachers make sure that parents know what's happening in our class and how are we going with the curriculum and activities given to the children. Our classroom BTBV presentation was pretty much an open question-answer session. We had it more interactive way answering parents queries if any.. Only point we brought in was class presentation in the assembly this year will be Mothers' day presentation which occurs in May 2015. (this is a joint presentation with Amrutham class- pre K kids, joint I mean we will have one class presentation followed by the other class)
The following were not discussed on the BTBV- but just a reminder as we have seen these announcements coming in between some of our earlier classes. Please feel free if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks
1. Gita chanting participation. (Applicable to Parents in our class- quote from memory or open book reading- chapter 15)
2. Slokathan (adult participation- happens every last Balavihar Sunday of the month) and
3. What's in the name as a family (any significant meaning of the names or why you have been named/ meaning of your name can be shared in the assembly with all names in the family) This is one of the ways of introducing your family to the Big BBNJ Balavihar family.
Class update-
As usual we started with OM chanting 3 times. We went over the Gajanananam slokam, where we normally say-repeat one word at a time, we also did two words together and repeating the same. We did Saraswathy slokam in the same manner.
We had less number of children today and also some parents would want to attend their older child's BTBV session, they had to leave and some kids wanted to go with their parents.
A potty break followed by snacks. We wound up with closing prayers and sticker rewards (re-enforcer) for children.
The next session is on Dec 7th and please enjoy Thanksgiving break! Have a great one.
