Comments:
We have moved into our new classrooms and settled into to our two groups very well. The kids are doing absolutely great and thank you again to the parents who have helped make this transition so smooth. As far as us Sevak/ Sevikas are concerned, we are enjoying getting to know all of your kids well in these small settings.
We started the class with chanting Om. We
did our opening prayers and then learnt a new chant "Om Ganeshaye Namaha". Today we learnt a new Stotra "Subham Karoti" and spoke about the significance of this prayer.
Quiet time was followed by
chanting the first and second shloka from chapter 13 in the Bhagvad Geeta. We learnt the third shloka today. The
kids are doing amazing with their chanting.
At story time we heard the story of 'Master Man'. We saw through the story that nothing good comes out of bragging and boasting.
After story time we played a round
of "Krishna Vadati" and practiced our numbers to Sanskrit. To reiterate our learning, we did and activity of connect the dots with Sanskrit numbers. We continued to practice our likita japa. We
then reviewed our colors in Sanskrit that we learnt last week. We will
continue to practice these in the coming weeks.
We ended our class with the closing prayers.
Before we sign off, we would like to inform you about the Seva Project for the Pre-K class We will also be sending you emails with the following information. Thank you all in advance for you support and participation
CORD works locally with Trenton Area Soup Kitchen(TASK) on various local Seva projects such as winter coat drive, Thanks giving baskets, school supplies drive etc. In connection with this, our class has been allotted the Seva project of donating socks to the homeless shelter. We are required to donate unisex tube socks. We have decided to take monetary contribution from the parents and buy the socks. They work out to $5.00/2pairs. We are planning to purchase the socks and give it to the CORD team on December 16th(next Balavihar class). Please bring in your contribution of $5.00 when you come on 16th. Thank you very much. Your help and support are much appreciated.
Have a fabulous week!
