Jan 6, 2019 - Grade 4 ( AM Sunday)

Hari OM, 

Dear Sunday Morning Grade 4 Parents,

We had our 13th Balavihar session on Sunday, January 6th.  Our next class is on January 13th. We started our class at 9:15 with opening Prayers.  We had 20 students in class today.
We did not send out a class update after our last class on December 16th (which was our 12th Balavihar Session).  On that day, all the Balavihar classes got together at the temple to watch On a Quest; a movie biopic about Swami Chinmayananda's life.  Watching a movie like that, sitting on the radiant heated floors of our Ashram is quite a memorable experience. 

Our topics for this week:

1. Reviewed Naming ceremony of Krishna - story from Dec 16th class.
2. Started story of this sweet pastime of Krishna – Damodara-lila.  Where we Found out how the unconquerable Lord was conquered by His mother, Yashoda . 
4. There were questions about how butter was made using the process of churning and we discussed .
5. As home work we assigned every child to Memorize Bhagavad Gita - Chapter 18 , Verses 41-45 this week.

We kindly request your help on a couple of action items:

1. Please learn about and register for our Slokathon.  You should all have a WhatsApp message from Yamuna-ji on this.
2. We asked your child to memorize 5 verses from Chapter 18 (vers. 41-46).  Please help them with this.

Class Blog: For a repository of past class discussions (for all Balavihar grades), we have a Chinmaya Vrindavan Teacher's Blog located here.
