Dear parents and children,
After a great jeopardy quiz in the assembly, we settled down in our class. Siddharth, our new friend joined our class today and we are all happy to welcome him :)
We started the day with our usual opening prayers- OM 3 times, followed by Gajananam slokam. We did a word by word chanting (say and repeat) and then two words and repeat and the third time we all chanted together :) Yay! Good job kids!
We talked about different names of Ganesa. Gajanana, Ganapathy, Eka danta (revisited the story) and Mooshika Vaahana (revisited the story)
We wanted to do the Story where Ganesa ties the serpent as a belt, we will revise this story next week.
Our action Bhajan, come here my dear ganapathy is as always a big hit with our little friends. It is always a beautiful sight to watch tiny hands and feet moving and singing at the same time :)
We took a potty break and then had yummy snacks.
After snacks we chanted Saraswathy slokam- Saraswathy namasthubyam.
** Saraswathy maatha is the goddess of Knowledge
** we pray Saraswathy maatha before learning anything
** She holds a Veena.
** has a maala on one hand and a book on another.
Our coloring activity had Saraswathy. Kids all did a fabulous job!
We concluded with closing verses and sticker rewards.
Few Reminders-
1. Please bring in a box of crayons.
2. A water bottle
3. A hand sanitizer
4. Parents who volunteer for snacks, please remember it's a nut free School and we request to please bring in nut free snacks. Please do not bring any juice as these little children tend to waste most part and we want them to teach not to waste food. Water should be fair enough to quench thirst after having any cookie or cracker.
Our next class is on 12/21/14. See you all then. Take care and stay warm :)
