Section 1
Today we started with initial prayers. Many of our friends were absent today. We also missed Reshma aunty and want her to get well soon. We thank Prarthana Aunty to make our day. We practiced Gita and some of the students did come up front to recite it all by themselves. The letter of the day was G for God. We discussed who is He? What he does? Where He lives? Children also thanked God by performing Puja and offering flowers to God. We then did Likhita japa. Children wrote “OM” and concluded the class with closing prayers.
Section 2.
We had an enthusiastic class today with little friends volunteering to take lead for bhajans, shlokas and gita. We however ensured that all our friends did gita chanting by repeating after the teacher. We also learnt the first line of the third verse. We still need to perfect our second verse. We encourage the parents to ask children to listen to first three verses using the online tool. We then did our letter for the day G for God. We discussed about God, who he is where he lives. We then perfomed a simple puja by offering flowers to God. We then played our shell game and did our closing prayers followed by pledge.
We had to interrupt the class multiple times as the little ones wanted to have a drink of water. So, we would request parents to send water bottles with children.
The students from Kindergarten along with Pre K children are a part of the upcoming Seva project conducted by CORD.
CORD works locally with Trenton Area Soup Kitchen(TASK) on various local Seva projects such as winter coat drive, Thanks giving baskets, school supplies drive etc. In connection with this, our class has been allotted the Seva project of donating socks to the homeless shelter. We are required to donate unisex tube socks. We have decided to take monetary contribution from the parents and buy the socks. They work out to $5.00/2pairs. We are planning to purchase the socks and give it to the CORD team on December 16th(next Balavihar class). Please bring in your contribution of $5.00 when you come on 16th. Thank you very much. Your help and support are much appreciated
