Comments:
This week was again a fullhouse and all our kids are back from vacation. All the kids are always participating in the bhajans, shlokas, games and story. A wonderful class. This week as every week, we did our regular activities and began the class with stretching. Now the stretches are led by the kids and the teachers just follow them. This is really fun to watch. We again reviewed some shlokas that we need to get better at. This week we also practiced the new Shiva bhajan.
Today our theme was 'To do hardwork'. We talked a really small animal ant that worked so hard to collect food and be ready for the hard winter, while its friend the grasshopper was having fun. We learnt that we should never waste and make the best use of it so we are not stuck like our friend the grasshopper. For the craft we made a grasshopper.
We practised again the fifth shloka in Geetha chanting and we are really doing great learning all the shlokas.

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.
