Class Review- 4 Grade Section B – 01/26/2014 - Sangeeta & Suma 's Class

We started our session with breathing exercise ,chanting Om 3 times and morning prayers. We practiced Geeta chanting 10 verses. We recited Sree Ganapathi Stotram and Sree Govinda Damodara Storam. Girls and boys took turns to recite Damodara Stotram. In the story time, since we completed our first book on Krishna Lila's, we moved on to the second book "My 24 teachers" which was adapted from 11th chapter of Bhagavatam. We listened to the story of the wandering saint "Dattareya" and king "Yadu". When Yadu asked the saint the secret of his happiness, Dattatreya said that he learnt his art of living happily from his 24 teachers. In this session we learnt about his first teacher - Earth. Earth teaches us patience & forgiveness. We heard several interesting stories -- Giving tree, Impatient King. We discussed the importance of the teacher and important traits a student should have. We went over the importance of Goal setting. For next week's class, kids should write down their first 10 goals. One of our students shared a nice story on Goals. We are going to learn about all the 24 teachers ,the elements of nature in coming sessions. We ended our session with Arti and pledge. See you all in our next Balavihar session on Feb 1 2014 . -Grade 4B teachers
