Welcome to our Grade 4 class, a quick recap of what was covered today. Today was the 15th Session of our class.
We all met in our classroom -- "Kesava" and after everyone sat down we said our Opening prayers.
Opening Prayers: We all sat straight, criss-cross, hands folded, chanted together 3 Oms, then Sahana Vavatu, Ganesha Slokha -Vakra Tunda, Saraswathi Slokha- Saraswathi Namasthubayam, Guru Slokha - Guru Brahma.
Slokha: We together chanted KrishnaAshtakam.
My 24 Gurus - We learned about 5 Gurus, who taught us about our Senses (Sight, Smell, Taste, Listening, Touch

Story 1: Two friends - This story taught us that too much focus on money can spoil our happiness. Good friends can help us get back on the right path.
Story 2: Gold Bar- This story taught us that sometimes our focus on wealth will distract us from doing what we want and is important for our lives.
Krishna Krishna Everywhere - Proud Gopis - We discussed the Arrogance of Gopis and seeing this Lord Krishna left them on the banks of the Jam una river. This was very traumatic for the Gopis and then they sang the "Gopi Geet". We listened to the Gopi Geet and reviewed it.
Creative Writing: We then discussed if the Venu/Bansuri became arrogant and proud and if Krisha left her, what is she likely to say? The kids were encouraged to write 5 high-level points and then rewrite a paragraph creatively using these points.
Pictures: Pictures have been posted on the WhatsApp group.
After this, we all went to the assembly for aarthi and stated the pledge.
It was another interesting session, and the kids were very collaborative and shared interesting views on everything that was discussed in class today. Class slides are shared in the WhatsApp group.
