All kids lead prayers. We decided for next week which kid will lead which shloka.
Every week we will repeat the Shlokas we did last week and introduce one new Shloka. Please practice the Shlokas everyday at home.
Story:
We started with reviewing what we did so far. We asked kids about all the prince's names. We asked kids our story location , Guru's name, and where were Rama and Laxmana going? They learnt that the princes were headed to the kingdom of Mithila and that king Janaka was the king of Mithila. They also learnt that king Janaka had a daughter named Sita who was to marry the person who could lift and string the special arrow that her father had. Princes from many kingdoms came in hope to marry Sita ; but even the strongest of them could not even move the arrow. Then with the blessings of sage Vishwamitra, Rama lifted the bow, strung it and broke it in half. King Janaka then declared that prince Rama would marry princess Sita
