- Once everyone joined the Zoom class, Started the class chanting three Om and followed by Sahana vavatu.( Please refer prayer book - Invocations - Dhyana Slokah)
- After teachers introduction, we had the kids one by one introduce their name with Hari Om, likes and favorite god. It was wonderful to hear them saying different god names.

- Discussed why we pray to Ganesh before we start any work. Told story about Ganesha and Karthikeya about the divine fruit.
- Just to break sitting activity and bring energy to everyone, did Yoga ( Tree, Lion and butterfly poses) with the kids.
- coloring Ganesha sheet was sent as pdf to parents, so all of them had it printed. While kids doing coloring, played the "Ekadantam Mahakayam" bhajan in the background from teachers portal.
- After kids done coloring, went through each word from "Ekadantam bhajan" and had the kids repeat.
- Did another break time by doing shell game meditation.
- Gave an brief overview of the Alphabet safari curriculum. finally wrapped up the class with exit ticket of having the kids think about who is god? Where is god? And what does he do? So the young curious mind can think and Next class we will continue talking about the topic of God.
