Comments: Today we learnt lot of new things. We have added Hanumaan shloka, Saraswati bhajan and two more new sanskrit words to our collection. Good going kids! In a couple of weeks, we will all be chanting the first shloka of Bhagavadgeeta, without the parents helping us! How about that. Once we get that, we will move on to add the second shloka as well. In the story, we learnt that we need to use our own intelligence and not just follow what others are doing. Good job on the project too. We have captured some beautiful lions that you made - in the camera, that is. The pictures are posted as well. We have learnt more animal names in the sanskrit segment, which are posted in the 'sanskrit lessons' section. We will be practicing them more so that we will always remember them.
Snippets: In the Story of the 'Clever Lion', the rabbit thinks that the sky is falling on his head. Of course our toddler has a line to say - 'No, the sky can't fall. The sky is up in the sky!' - in a matter-of-factly manner.
