Summary of this week’s class:

Class 2A:

Our class started with opening prayers, SOHAM meditation. We revised the previous class namams from Ashtotram and then learned new namams 25-30. We had a quick recap of last class and moved to topic for the week. We talked about “The turtle who could not swim”. Once the story was done we talked about the turtle how he became a happy turtle. We discussed how to build self-esteem – not to compare with others but understand the strengths within us. Kids participated in the discussion as we reinforced all the topics we discussed in previous classes how they help building our self-esteem. 

As a class activity, we made the cards for Wakemed hospital which they thoroughly enjoyed.

  1. We have an interesting assignment glued in their notebooks. Please ask your children to check it out and ask them to fill it out.
  2. Encourage to practice Ashtothram pinned in the whatsapp group
