Hari Om Parents!
Today was the twenty-first class of Balavihar!! Here is the summary of what we covered in class today:
After everyone joined the Zoom session:
1. We started the class with Opening prayers. The opening prayers were led by three kids who chanted Om three times and then chanted Sahana vavatu and we all joined.
2. Then we introduced the letter of the day as 'X- Excellence is to do something outstandingly well'.
3. During the Exploration session, we discussed to achieve excellence we need plenty of practice, dedication, and perseverance. And discussed about Swimming, cycling activities which though take time to learn, but we can excel with practice.
4. During Story time, through the story of Thomas Alva Edison, we learnt how Edison built the light bulb and how he was wrong 1000 times and succeeded the 1001th time which shows 'Perseverance succeeds'. And when asked about his failures, he said with a positive attitude and conviction that he knew he would succeed, and said he now knows a thousand ways of how not to make an electric light bulb.
5. Then through the story of the Big Frog and the Small Frog, we learnt that 'We should never give up and always keep trying'
6. After this, Attendance was taken.
7. Then we learnt the Hanuman Bhajan - we explained the meaning and repeated it together word by word.
8. After this, we joined the 2nd grade Annual program, where we learnt some more about Hanuman ji and small bhajans.
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.
