Activity
We watched a 9 minutes animated video (virata parva,Pandavas new names in disguise until keechaka vadham) This was a visual review of what was learned in the past class.

Saraswathy Pooja
Today we celebrated Saraswathy pooja in the temple mandapa. It was a visual treat to see all kids assembled in Traditional Indian attires.
