Hari Om!!!! Firstly let me apologize for not posting last week's BLOG. Sorry if you visited the site and were disappointed. My allergies were at its best last week so I was on medication and drowsy 90% of the time. Thank you for your love and thoughts and am running on full tank again..!!!!!
We had another GREAT week!!!!! Our friends that were missing for few weeks showed up and had a great time at Bal Vihar!
As always we started the class with 3 OMs followed by Ganesha shloka (Vakratunda mahakay....), Saraswati shloka (Saraswati namastubhyam...)
We discussed and revised our learning from last week. Last week we learned about our super hero Hanumaan. He's a monkey, carries a gada. His dad's name is Kesari and mother Anjana. He is a devotee (referred as friend to children) of Lord Rama. Told them several stories about Hanumaan.
- How he thought the sun was the fruit mango and he flew out to the sun in the desire to eat it.
- He was being the naughty monkey bothering the rishi who was meditating (praying) and the rishi cursed Hanumaan that you wont remember any of your powers unless someone reminds you of it.
- Hanumaan's love and dedication towards Lord Rama and his first meeting with him.
"Mano-Javam Maaruta-Tulya-Vegam

Vaata-Atmajam Vaanara-Yuutha-Mukhyam
Shriiraama-Duutam Sharannam Prapadye |"
We made a small gada out of foil, you can use the empty toilet paper roll or paper towel roll to make a big gada at home as well. Last week we colored Hanuman's picture, if they dont finish the coloring in class, please encourage them to finish at home. Also check its filed nicely and their crayons arent falling out the box etc.
Please continue to send the crayons and spill proof water bottle with them. So they are not thirsty especially after snack. Please continue to recite the shlokas with your children and be a part of their learning routine.
Next class is on March 22nd!!!!!
See you all then....Have a great rest of the week!!!!!!
