Hari Om Parents,
Today was the twentieth class of Balavihar!! Here is the summary of what we covered in the class today:
After everyone joined the Zoom session:
1. We started the class with Opening prayers. We together chanted the opening prayers starting with three Oms and then chanted Sahana vavatu.
2. We practiced Bhajans -Ganesha, Krishna and Rama.
3.One of kids had participated in the Slokhaton, and shared with the rest of the kids the slokhas she had chanted for the competition.
4.Then we introduced the next letter W - Work is effort directed to produce or accomplish something. And that Dreaming about something will not get us what we want. We have to work hard to be rewarded.
5. For Yoga time, we did Jumping Jacks, snake pose and Lion pose.
6. For Brainstorming, we discussed few day-to-day scenarios where hard work helps and get us what we want. And if you want something, you have to make the effort. No one else can do it for you.
7. During Story time, through the story of The Ant and The Grasshopper - we learnt that we must work hard in order to play and enjoy.
8. Then we told another story to kids, about the Villager's Dream-though which we learnt, the concept of working, and not worrying about the fruits of the efforts and we need to work to achieve things we want, and not just daydream about the results and the happiness all those things would bring.
9. After this, Attendance was taken.
10. For Exit ticket, kids were asked to complete the Coloring sheets and Activity sheet.
11. And then concluded the session after chanting the Closing Prayers.
It was a lively class with all kids actively participating. Please note, to make the best use of time for some kids who are joining early, we are making them practice bhajans to help them learn.
Have a wonderful week ahead.
Pranams
