Oct 17, 2021 - Kindergarten (Sunday AM)

Hari Om Parents!

Today was the Fourth class of Balavihar 2021-2022!! Here is the summary of what we covered in class today:

After everyone joined the Zoom session:

1. We started the class with the Opening prayers. We chanted Om three times and then chanted Sahana vavatu together and repeated couple of times.

2.Then we learnt the Ganesha bhajan - and repeated it couple of times

3. After this, we introduced the next Letter 'B'  is for Brotherhood is a sense of togetherness and belonging among members of a family, neighborhood, organization, and the world. Each one of us is unique; when we live harmoniously together, the picture of the world is complete.

4. For the Brain Storming session, we explained to the children that we are a part of this whole wide world and live together in a home called earth. And explained Vasudhaiva Kuéumbakam. Vasudhë means earth in Sañskåta, the ancient language in which all our scriptures are written. Kuéumba means a family.

Meaning, the whole earth, the whole world, is one family.

5. For Story time, through the story of 'The Complete Picture', we learnt that We are all like the box of crayons. Each one of us is special and unique.

Only by appreciating one another's individuality and living in the brotherhood spirit, can we complete the picture of life

 

6. Then we explained the Riddle of Home : we begin all our prayers with "Om." Every happy person sees "Om," in their home.

H ± Happy

OM ± Lord

E ± Ever

Home is where a family lives. To have a happy home forever, the family prays to God together.

7. Then attendance was taken. Each kid responded with HariOm when their name was called.

8.Then we joined the main session to participate in Saraswathi pooja.All of us together participated in the pooja.

It was a great session with active participation by all kids. Please make kids practice the Geeta verse 39, Opening Prayers and also Ganesh Bhajan.  

Please encourage kids to join zoom class by 9:15am every Sunday. Special thanks to the parents for sitting through today's session.  

Have a wonderful week ahead!!
