Hari om parents,
Welcome to Bala vihar 2023-24 Grade 3 (Sunday AM) class. Hope you are all doing well & enjoying the beautiful fall weather.
The class was so much fun, here is the summary of the class -
1. We chanted 3 OM's and said our beginning prayers - Om sahna bhavtu then a shlok for Lord Ganesha (Vakratunda Mahakaya), Devi Saraswati (Saraswati Namastubhyam) and one for our Guru (Guru Bramha) respectively.
2. Brainstorming about the word Avatar - What is Avatar? Why does God take Avatar? We started the discussion by asking them about their favorite superheroes and we heard oh so many - Dr. Strange , Iron man, Thanos…. Each of them had a superpower. Guess what each of God's avatars have all these superpowers & more. We concluded that when we are in big trouble we pray to God & he comes down as an avatar to save us.
3. We played a game of 2 truths and a lie.We had a lot of confessions (Shhh , it's a secret). Ask your kids and you will know.
4. We also did the Geeta chanting primer. Basically kids learned how to pronounce certain Sanskrit words.
5.We went for Aarti & pledge to the temple.
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to either of us. See you all next Sunday in our classroom @ 9:15am.
Regards,
Chitra & Rupa.
