Comments
It was Picture Day today!  The children were all dressed up beautifully today.  Before we can recap today's class, we have to mention that the kids did an awesome job getting their picture taken!!

We started with some Yoga stretches and few simple poses to get settled in.   With a nice deep breath, we chanted Om three times followed by the three chants 'Om Ganeshaye Namaha'. 

 
We practiced some of the shlokas we have learnt in the past weeks.  We spoke about the significance of these prayers.  The children did an awesome job reciting.

  

During Sanskrit learning we practiced our counting in Sanskrit and also learnt to recognize our numbers from 1-20. We also colors in Sanskrit. 
 
We exercised our singing voices during bhajan time. 

At story time we heard the story of  'The Musicians of Breman'.  The children enjoyed the story.

After story time, we did our  likita japa.  We learnt how write 'Raam'.  The kids did an amazing job.  For activity, we played the Sanskrit version of 'Head, shoulders, Knees & Toes'
 
We ended our class the closing prayers and Aarthi.


A big Thank You to all the parents for you support and participation in the class photo!!! week.
