Hari Om Parents
Here is an update about what was happening at our second grade Balavihar class for the past two classes.November 20th - We started the class with chanting Sri Ram Jaya Ram Jaya Jaya Ram with Japa mala made by each kid on their own. After that we wanted to continue the Story of Hanuman and watched a video about Hanuman being taught by Surya deva. The Next backbone we learnt in the class is Yasas - Fame. we learnt about famous people. we read about Swami Chinmayananda ji - our Gurudev life story. After that we watched a video about Mahatma Gandhi life story with all the major events from his life. We also Read from the book about Dr.RadhaKrishnan our president of India. Concluded the class with Arati and Pledge.
December - 4thFor this class we discussed Dhairyam and Nirbhayadatvam. We played two videos one about Rathnakara - Valmiki Story and another about Rosa Parks. we encouraged kids to talk about what was the quality that they found in the story relating to the topic. We did a popcorn reading about Tapovan Maharaj ji. On a lighter note, Madhuri aunty narrated story about the Foolish timid Rabbit. Kindly ask your kids to narrate them to you. Many kids are memorizing the Gita chapter 2 and were excited to chant them in class. So had few kids chanting up to shloka 9 and one of our student have memorized up to shloka 15. There are Gita practice classes happening on Friday before Balavihar and on Saturday,
Thank you and Hari OmHarinee aunty and Madhuri Aunty
