Comments:

• We practiced the Shlokas. Neel asked for the Shloka to say at night, so we introduced the new Shloka Karacharana Krutham.
  
• We then split the class into 3 groups with all the Devas and Devis in Mamtha Aunty's team and all the Asuras in Jeevan Uncle's team and the rest of the Gods and Goddesses in Jayashree Aunty's team and practiced our lines for the play. After wards, we had just enough time to practice the entire play in sequence once.
• We did feel the need for a couple of parent volunteers to handle the children - thanks to Priyanka's mom and Vedhas's mom for volunteering to help us next class.
  

Reminders:

• Please practice the Shlokas and Bhajans with the children at home - we don't have much time to practice in class now.
• Please encourage them to get as many stickers as possible on their chart. For those who have already got all the stickers, we now have one more Shloka to challenge you :-)
