Sairam All!

The class on March 16, 2025 Summary.  Out of 20 students, 15 (10 girls and 5 boys) were present for the Group 4 SSSE Class. 100% attendance by the girls this week!

We started the class with general updates, reminders of activities and preparations and signups for Eashwaramma Day on Sunday, May 4th.  More details will be provided over the subsequent weeks.  Also, we have the opportunity for a 2 minute instrumental performance for Aradhana Day on April 19th in Charlotte.  If interested, please let one of the Group 4 teachers know.   Also, mentioned that next week I’ve arranged for a guest speaker Devanshi Raval who graduated from Group 4 in 2020, went to UNC and is currently in UNC Dental School.  Devanshi led several service projects when she was a YA.  She will review and present at next week’s class.   Hope to have excellent attendance next week!

For this week’s class, based on input from students and parents, we did a workshop class session on improving our time management and avoiding procrastination.   Students were encouraged to segment their week’s priorities and tasks based on urgency and importance level.  I also participated in the activity and we can review our progress or ‘how well we did’ in subsequent classes.  Each Group 4 student then presented their time management plan and activity list to the class.   Kids should have minimal challenge with Time Management going forward if they follow through on what we reviewed and they presented in the class.   We then reviewed how managing time, leads to good habits and focus on building character.   We then discussed in detail many of Swami’s quotes and perspectives on how to effectively manage time and how it leads to good habits with discipline, consistency and focus.

We concluded with:

Om and 3x Shanthi’s and Snacks!
