Comments:
It was so nice to be back after a long long break. We really missed our young audience. Hopefully you had a fun spring break. Now we have a lot of fun days ahead. This week was about krishna. We talked quite a bit about him. We included him in every activity that we did. We began by chanting a shloka about him and sang a lovely bhajan about him. Let us see how many of you remember it next time. We also sang 'khate bhi Krishna kahon' which gave us some rhyming challenge. Does anyone remember the Krishna pose we did?
our story was also about the strong and brave Krishna who lifted a mountain on his Pinky finger. Can you do that ? We learnt that when we have extra power like Krishna we should use it to help others and not to trouble anyone. Who was troubling the villagers in this story?
Our craft was a beautiful feather made from cardstock. Hopefully everyone had fun decorating it.

As a reminder I just want reiterate what Ameetji was saying about the Entry and Exit policy. For ENTRANCE PLEASE DO NOT USE THE BACK DOOR AND ALSO DO NOT HOLD IT FOR ANYONE TO ENTER (you do not want to be held responsible for any mishap) Exit you can use the back door but if you use the front door while exiting you can eat prasadam :)
thank you for your cooperation.
