Comments:

• It was nice to see everyone in the class today after a break. Harshala Aunty was not able to make it today, a very special thanks to Aniketh's mom who joined us and helped me. We started of with meditation session. Once kids were comfortably settled, we chanted Om three times, and followed it by a minute of complete silence. Kids did it, it was tough for them to keep their eyes closed, but they were quiet for one whole minute and we are very proud of them. We did our initial prayers, we had several volunteers coming up to recite Shokas. We rehearsed first shloka of Geetha Chapter 11, and we did the second line of Shloka 2. Parents please do help the kids to practice the Geetha Shlokas.

• We did our regular Yoga practice, everyone remembered the poses very well. It is kind of mini break for the kids after the Shloka practice too. They love to stand up and have some fun. Later we told the Story of "Krishna Butter Bash". We did the second stanza of bhajan "My God is great", we will continue with the same bhajan next week. And on request of everyone, we sang Ganesha Sharanam.

• We did a coloring activity, everybody had fun coloring Hanumanji. We continued with learning of Om, we wrote Om on the board, everyone came up and traced it on the board.

• It was Romas birthday, Happy Birthday Roma!! Thanks to Roma's mom for making such wonderful goody bags. We finished our class with Poornamdha. We will seeing you in December 19th, because of the Yagna at cranbury. Have a wonderful time, and enjoy the break ;-)

Reminders:

• Keep practising the Geeta at home.
• Parents on the day when Swamiji gives Pravachan, please do pick up kids from the class and then go to Auditorium for Aarthi and Pledge.
• If any of the parents are interested in volunteering for Pre K class, Please let us know.
• We would really appreciate donation of much needed supplies such as crayons, gluesticks, markers etc...
