Story : N for Nobility
Sweta auntie told a story of a lion and cow about how the honesty of cow saved her life.
Students learned that nobility is an ability to put others first. They also learned how Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa acted as noble people in their life. We discussed how we can be noble.

Activity : Coloring page for nobility.

Homework
Please practice writing Sanskrit alphabets as it is taking lots of time and we have to skip some parts of lessons ! Also there is homework of letter N. Next week we will review the homework so far done.

1st and 2nd Grade Class, Teacher: Deepa


There were 3 new students in class - Nikhil, Yash and Pranati. The kids welcomed the new kids and showed them all the shlokas they recite every class. They learned 1 more verse in GuruStotram and also learned 2 new verses from the Bhajan "Radhe Govinda".
We continued the story of Bala Ramayana and did a recap of all the things we learned so far for the benefit of the new kids. The kids answered all the questions correctly regarding the characters and the story of Ramayana. We visited the chapter where Bharat learns about Rama's exile and decides to visit him at ChitraKuta. The kids did a coloring project that showed Rama and Sita in Chitrakuta.
Parents, please practice GuruStotram with the kids. Its in My Prayers book on page 86. The kids are getting ready to perform in front of Swamiji. They love discussing which God they are going to portray. We will have the lines ready for all the kids by next class and we will start rehearsing. Unfortunately, due to the number of kids, we didn't get to play our usual games in class. We hope to include more fun games and  activities next class.
