Comments:
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 'Little Footsteps-Upon-Water' .This is an old Native American tale that teaches us to care for animals and shows us how animals help us in our time of need. The children enjoyed the story.
After story time, we did some coloring sheets of our favorite dieties. For activity, we played the Sanskrit version of 'Head, shoulders, Knees & Toes'
We ended our class the closing prayers and Aarthi.
