Hari
Om parents!!!
We
had a good comeback class this past Sunday after the spring break...!!! I could
tell that the kids were excited to be back. We even had a new friend join us
this week and hoping that she continues to over the next few weeks before
summer. We continued practicing for our performance in the assembly coming up
in few weeks....Will share info on that soon!!!!
We
stuck to our routine that has worked great with the little ones to start the
class with the below:
We did:
3
Oms
Opening
prayer (Sahana vavatu...)
Ganesha
Shloka (Vakratunda mahakay...)
Saraswati
Shloka (Saraswati namastubhyam.....)
We practiced some shloka that they will be reciting in the assembly. Revised some of the shlokas we already learned to keep their interest and enthusiasm.
We
went through the story detailing the birth of lord Krishna and even watched a
short video (kid appropriate).
- Talked about the bad king Kansa (Kamsa as some call him) and his cousin Devaki.
- Aakashvani about the 8th son being the lord himself.
- Kansa imprisoning Devaki and Vasudeva to take away the babies.
- Vasudeva escaping the prison right after the birth of lord Krishna to take him to the safety of Yashodha and Nanda in Gokul.
My
printer has been giving me issues so I couldn’t print Krishna pictures for
their coloring, but we colored a picture from the yellow book. We had snacks
and our bathroom break/s before coloring as well.
We
did closing prayers before we dispersed them to their respective parents.
Reminders:
- Please continue to send a leak proof water bottle with your child.
- Please leave a box of crayons in their Bal vihar bag.
- Please continue to practice shloka/s with your children at home, on your way home from bal vihar etc.
No CLASS on April 19th, but do attend the much
anticipated satsang session and lecture/talk by Swamini Vimalananda ji. Bhiksa
will be followed after the satsang, please RSVP to sign up for food
accordingly.
See you then!!!!!!
