Comments: Sorry about the delay in updating the blog.....the excitement of Navrathri is surely spilling over.....
The children did amazing this week. They are settling in very well into our class routine. Without further adieu here are the highlights of this week's class. We started by warming up with some Yoga stretches after which we continued to practice the new shloka (Karagare Vasathe Lakshmi) we learnt last week. We then did our quiet time activity. The children are slowly getting the hang of this routine. After our precursor to meditation....we needed to sing and dance. Honoring the Goddesses for Navrathri, we learnt a brand new bhajan. It was beautiful. We know we will get better at the actions and words as we continue to practice over the next couple weeks. In our deity recognition segment we learnt the uniqueness of each Durga, Saraswati, & Lakshmi.
We did something specialthis week, after having lots of fun with all our friends singing and dancing.....we broke up into two groups and worked in separate classrooms on our Bhagavad Geeta chanting. We then did our Om Likita Japa. The kids worked super hard on their writing. Great job kids! Parents if you get a chance we encourage, you to print out the Om sheet get them to color it and get familiar with it. Through our story this week (Eat A Mango Where No One can See You), we learnt that God is everywhere and to tie all our Devi learning together.....we made beautiful colorful picture of Goddess Saraswati.
We came back together as a group to do our closing prayers and Aarthi.

This OM is for the children to practice writing their strokes correctly. Having the children color the OM can also be a nice way for them to calm their minds and meditate on God.
