Comments:
We really need to make big big big circle in the cafeteria as it is getting crowded these days, don't you think? But it is so much fun to watch little kids absorbing so much knowledge in such a short time. Its just been a few months and kids already know so much, from shouting Hariom in the beginning of the class to dancing to the tune of Great God Ganapathi. Our kids have really progressed fast and they will keep doing it more and more as the classes progress.In this class we reviewed some old shlokas and bhajans.
Today our theme was 'Slow and steady wins the race'. We learnt through the story of 'hare and tortoise' that even though tortoise was very slow it still won the race by being steady. We learnt that we should never give up and keep doing our activity with a steady pace and we will surely succeed. We also reviewed the shloka 'karagre vasate lakshmi' and realized that we can just look into our palms and find all the gods residing there. We also reviewed our shloka about Hanumanji and how just by remembering him we can get strength, buddi and fearlessness. Don't you think we should remember him more. We also learnt a new shloka about Lord vishnu, it was a little difficult but we will soon learn it well like all others. Thanks to Sangeetha Aunty for providing us with such a creative craft. Hopefully you kids had fun doing it.
We are really thorough with the geetha chanting and we just need to learn one more shloka.
Parents you can refer to the link below for an excellent online tool to learn more.

Questions for this week?
• Who won the race?
• Why did the rabbit lose?
Look out for more fun crafts in the future. Also special thanks to pooja's parents for bringing a tasty snack. We also gave our ‘धन्यवाद’ in Sanskrit.
