1st, 2nd Grade Class Journal - Teacher : Deepa

The class started with daily prayers. They continued to learn Guru Stotram. The kids continued their Bal Ramayana story where they learned about how Ram was sent to the forest by his father and how the people around him reacted. They learned new characters such as Guha and Sumantra. They learned the important lesson of taking happy news and sad news in stride - something Lord Ram did when he was asked to become the king one day and asked to go to he first the next day.
For Swamiji's visit, we decided each kid would dress up as a God and talk a few words about who they are. Some of the choices so far are - Vishnu, Ram, Krishna, Hanuman, Varun and Narasimha. They have been asked to prepare their lines with their parents' help so we could discuss in class next week.
