Dec 20, 2020 - Grade 1 (Sunday PM)

Dear Parents,

 

Hari Om! Below is an update of what was done. For our last class for 2020, we did some games to refresh kids on what they have learnt until now in Bala Ramayanam. We did a Kahoot quiz with kids, a word wall activity for the kids to refresh on the first 14 chapters done. We also did a craft activity for making a popsicle stick with Rama's picture and Sri Rama Rama Rameti mantra. We did a recording of the kids bhajans to be shared for house points. 


Wishes for happy holidays and a happy new year to you and your family!
