Jan 31, 2020 - Grade 4 (Friday)

HariOm Parents,
We had a great Friday yesterday with all your children after the break. As we had children coming in, we got the children start the day with a maze. We worked with our maze for a little child to reach Krishna.
We then proceeded to our routine. We said Om 3 times and then starting class with our Opening Prayers(Om Sahanavavatu).
1.      Chanting My Prayers: Since all the kids who attended 3rd grade were already taught the My Daily Prayers we chanted it. For the benefit of the newcomers, the Daily prayers are in My Prayers Pg,11 of green book. The following are the shlokas
a.       Karagrevasathe Lakshmi
b.       Gangecha yamunechaiva
c.       Saraswati namstubyam
d.       Brahmarpanam
e.       Subhamkaroti kalyanam
f.        Karacharana kratamvaak
g.       Kayenavacha manasaindriyeyva


2.  Krishnashtakam :  We chanted Krishnashtakam so that we get fully prepared. Please memorise the shloka so that we can move on to our next shloka this year. Krishna Damodara Stotram. Parents please play the shloka and let the kids listen to it even if they don't chant it will help.

3. Mid term review : We had a word puzzle for our mid term review.

4. Role assignments for skit - We planned the skit for our annual play in March and assigned roles. We will start practise next week. We have passed the dialogues to the children so they can have it ready with them as they come next week.

Please come regularly for practise as it is important that we have a good performance.


5. Bhagawat Gita : We did Bhagawat Gita chanting verse 22 and 23  Please bookmark Swamiji's Bhagawat Gita teaching videos. Please chant regularly. Bookmark the youtube video
