This week's class was eventful for the kids. The focus of the class was the House Inauguration. All the 6th graders belong to Durga's Daredevils and were requested to wear red. It was wonderful to see every single child wearing red.
After opening prayers, we recapped the previous class' story of the Mahabharata.
We then continued with Udyog Parva where Sanjaya goes to speak to Yudhishtra with Dhritarashtra's rather sarcastic and aggressive message that the Pandavas should renounce everything and not ask for their Kingdom in the name of preventing war. Yudhishtra is deeply hurt by his Uncle's tactics and sends a message back with Sanjaya that they will be happy with five villages.
At the Hastinpura court, Sanjaya relates Yudhishtra's message that falls on the deaf ears of Duryodhana and Dhritarashtra.
At this point House Volunteer Ms. Rashmi Kuroodi came to the zoom class and had the kids complete 2 activites.
- making a Durga Daredevils flag
-completing a Mahabharata related quiz.
Both these activites won points for our House.
The kids then entered the zoom session for the House Inauguration and watched the High School presentations and the presentation on ways to earn points.
We ended with the Plegde.
