Today after our morning prayers and gItaa chanting, we combined both the sections, for a very exciting reason!  (It will be done this way for the rest of the remaining classes for the year.)  We all settled down and discussed about what we have learnt so far in our classes.  After the recap, the kids learnt that we will be learning some new, fun and exciting things to present in the upcoming Chinmaya Ananda Mela!  Our class will be performing on stage.  The children will give you more details about our presentation :).  Please encourage your children tell you more about it.  We will be practicing in the next classes.  They will also be bringing home the script next week. 

We are so eager to see them all on stage!  We are sure they are going to rock the show!!

After the practice, we played one of our favorite games - do you know your boundaries.  We are very impressed that the children understand very subtle differences too!  If we say, being determined like raavaNa, they come into the boundary.  When we say, using the determination for wrong purposes, they run out instantaneously!! 

We ended the class with our ending prayer and headed to the auditorium for a special 'Gurudev jayanthi' and 'Mother's day' presentation.

See you all next week.
