Apr 14, 2024 - Kindergarten (Sunday AM)

Hari Om Parents, 

Today was the 21st 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. All the kids joined in and chanted well.

Introduction of the Next Letter: Introduced the next letter of the day V is for Victory- is when you attain your goal. To be victorious, work hard and always speak the truth. And we discussed small and big goals and how kids can be victorious. 

And also, 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.

Activity:  Goal is to Touch the wall and do it by any means (walk, run, hop): In this game, kids were divided into 3 groups, and were asked to reach the goal of touching the wall, and use any means (walk, run, hop) to do it, and each group was timed, through this Game, kids learnt that each one's path to success could be different, and sometimes hard, but that we should never give up. Kids discussed with each other why they should not give up.

Story Time: We discussed the story of the Hare and the Tortoise, and kids shared their opinions on how the tortoise never gave up.

Attendance: was taken by each kid saying 'Hari Om' when their name was called out.

And then kids got the opportunity to go to the Prayer Hall and offer flowers, pray and view  Sri Bala Rama kept on the stage, as part of Rama Navami celebrations.

It was another very collaborative and fun session with kids. Kids happily participated and shared their ideas and views. We completed letter V, and will continue with letter W in the next class too.

Have a wonderful week ahead!! 

Note:  Next class is on April 21st, 2024.
