Hariom Parents,
Here is the summary of yesterday's class
1. We started with chanting 3 Om's followed by prayers "Sahana Vavatu" followed by "Ekadantam Mahakayam" and "Gurur Brahma Gurus Vishnu".
2. Next we chanted the Bhagwat Gita verse 41, 42, 43, 44, 45. We learnt new verse 46 of Chapter 18 on page 21 with all the kids.
3. Next we went around the room Recaping our Bal Vihar alphabets from last 2 weeks "A For Aspiration" and "B For Brotherhood", "C for Cleanliness",. "D for Daddy', "E for Enthusiasm", "F for friendship", "G for God', "H for Happy", I for "Intellect", J for "Japa", K for "Kindness", L for Love
4. Lesson of the day : M for Mother
a. Activity : We made a picture frame for our Mother.
b. Brainstorming session : We spoke about Motherland, Mother cow, Mother nature and Moms and how everyone is giving because of love.
c. Story Time : We told the story of a little girl who wanted to be paid money for doing chores and how his mothers note made her realize how many things her mother does for her but gets no payment for it. So when we love someone we do things out of love and not for any self interest.
5 Games
Quiet Game : We played it by counting number of times Rama's name / Krishna's name was said by the auntie.
It was 4th grade performance so we assembled in the temple early to watch the performance. Then we proceeded to the temple for Aarati and Pledge.
Next week is a long weekend we do not have Balvihar classes. Next Balvihar is on Feb 22nd is House Spirit Day. Please wear house colors and do not bring bags.
Pranaam,
