Mar 24, 2024 - Kindergarten (Sunday AM)


Hari Om Parents, 

Today was the 19th class of Balavihar!!  Here is the summary of what we covered in the class today:

Opening Prayers:  We together chanted three OMs and then chanted the Opening Prayers - Sahana Vavatu. 

Class Play practice: We discussed with kids our plan for the ClassPlay and started the practice for the Class Play. Kids got an idea and participated in the practice.

Introduction of the Next Letter: Introduced the next letter 'S' the letter of the day as S for Smile - a facial expression of joy and happiness. We discussed that happy and funny things make us smile. And when we smile, people want to talk to us and make us happy.

Brainstorming: We discussed various scenarios which make us happy and smile. And to smile is easy and a simple thing to do to make everyone happy. When we smile, we stay healthy and a Smile is contagious, hence everyone around us also smiles and is happy as well.

Exploration: Kids were taught 'Wear a Smile and stay in Style' and spread happiness around.

Attendance:
 was taken, each kid responded by saying Hari Om with a sweet Smile on their face.

StoryTime:  Through the story of the Girl with the Million Dollar Smile, we learnt that a Smile can help solve all our problems and make everyone happy.

Holi - Festival of Colors: We told the story of Holikha and Hiranyakashipu, and discussed why Holi is celebrated.

It was another very interactive and lively session with kids Then we assembled in the prayer hall for aarti.
 Have a wonderful week ahead!! 

Note:  Next class is on April 7th, 2024.  Next week no class due to Spring Break!!
