Class Recap January 13th (Ruchi and Rukmani)

Hari Om Parents and Guardians,

As always we had another beautiful class day, full of learning and fun. We all started promptly at  ten and the best part was that most of the students had arrived by then! We encourage all the children to come on time so everybody is able to participate in all of the activities. After the morning prayers and shlokas we did the meditation. We all enjoyed a minute of complete silence before we started with other activities.

Geeta chanting came next. We had couple of kids lead the group. It was nice to see that the children have started practicing at home. We would like a one hundred percent participation at the competition. So all should recite and practice regularly.

Story time came next and we learned how the beautiful deer that Sita wanted ,tricked Rama by taking him deeper and deeper into the forest and when Rama  shot an arrow at him he turned back into the raksasa body and started to scream "Lakshmana, Sita save me" in Rama's voice. Also when Lakhmana went to help his brother, evil Ravana kidnapped Sita and took her with him to Lanka. Brave Jatayu tried to save Sita but could not do so. Rama was full of grief when he did not find his beloved Sita at the ashram. We will unfold more details in coming class.

We all did coloring and sang a brand new Bhajan "Atma Nivasi Ram". We learned actions along with the Bhajan. It was so much fun. We will finish the it next time. After the bhajan we all did aarti and pledge and the class came to an end. We do not have class on the 20th of January,so see you all on the 27th.

Take care and have a wonderful week.
