Class on 4/17

Hari OM Dear Parents and Children.

It's Samskriti time and we are getting ready towards the big day!

As mentioned earlier, our art projects are almost coming to a close and we need a couple sessions to completely wind up. Most kids are done with the thoran leaf project and we are almost through the backbone project as well. Our tree project is also done and we're so glad as kids came up with their qualities by themselves. We would really appreciate if we get those empty kitchen towel paper rolls for our projects. We want as many as you may please provide.

Other than our art projects, kids also colored from our textbooks and we heard a nice story which emphasized on to trust parents and follow their directions at all times.

A quick snack time followed by Guru stotram and Hanuman chalisa rendering. We are so happy that all kids do know to sing and/or chant, but just that they seem to be reluctant in participating. We would want all of them to equally render nicely- loud and clear.
We concluded our class with closing verses.

Kindly send in all supplies- pencils, markers, erasers, crayons etc, we want them to focus on their work and time goes by in waiting for someone to finish and borrow after and the focus is lost.
Please make them bring all adequate supplies.

Thank you.
Best Regards
Dhairyam teachers

Class on 4/10

Hari OM Dear Parents and Kids,

Today as usual we started the class with opening slokas.
We at once started with our art projects- the green leaves Thoran project. We are happy that we completed all the 11 leaves, now just left with tying them together and forming a thoran.
Today's work was a huge one, where kids did about 6 leaves on the card-stock. They were happy and enthusiastic about applying their creative ideas in coloring and presenting their works.
Good job kids!

We will now have to work on the 8 qualities which forms as a backbone for life. We have done more than half in the project, just a little to go to complete. Parents, please kindly send in EMPTY KITCHEN PAPER TOWEL ROLLS in the coming classes as part of our art projects.

Parents, please make sure that the child gets to balavihar with bags, books, supplies and snacks. We want all children to have their own pencils, markers, erasers, crayons etc to focus in their work.

Next class is on 10/17. Please bring the kids without absenting as we have to start our Samskriti practices as well. We appreciate your cooperation without which our Dhairyam family is incomplete. Thanks to all, greatly appreciated.

We concluded our class by singing Hanuman chalisa- all kids did a fabulous singing/chanting, followed by Guru stotram and with closing prayers.

Good luck to all who have enrolled to take part in the Gita chanting competition on 4/16.

Attached a pic of today's class summary.

See you all next Sunday- 10/17.
