Hari Om Parents,
We started our class with our Likhitha jaapa followed by daily prayers.
The homework from Jan 26th class follow up is as below
1. Learn to chant Gita Chapter 4 until 16 shlokas and send recordings to Geeta chanting team email: - geeta@chinmayavrindavan.org to get house points and also points for themselves too.
2. Nirvana Shatakam practice first 2 stanzas.
3. Please make sure kids write two Questions from Mahabharata learnt so far for the next jeopardy and email to frigr5@chinmayavrindavan.org with the subject as Jeopardy Questions.
We started Nirvana Shatakam. All the kids present in class received a printout of Nirvana Shatakam, we learnt the first two Stanzas.
The class was divided into two groups, Balaram and Krishna, we played a jeopardy game on the mahabharata learnt so far. Team Krishna won the game with 2500 points while Balaram team played well and lost by just two hundred points.
It was time for our Grade 1 monthly play and so we concluded our class here. Until we meet next on February 3rd 2024.
With Om and Pranams
Anuradha & Shivram
