Welcome to our Grade 4 class, a quick recap of what was covered today. Today was the 20th Session of our class.
We all met in our classroom -- "Kesava" and after everyone sat down we said our Opening prayers.Kids were excited to meet each other after Winter break.
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.
Sloka Chanting: We all together recited KrishnaAshtakam.
My 24 Gurus: We learnt about the next Guru (s)- Snake, Spider and Larva
Snake: Riddle:
I am not really ugly, but people get petrified by me. The earth is my home, but nobody wants to be near me. I am happy to see that some young boys and girls want to keep me as a pet, but mommies still hate me! Who am I?
Lesson from Guru : Snake: Teaches us to live alone and be quiet
Story Time: Through the story of The Most Beautiful Cat- we learnt that it's better to stay quiet and stay out of all drama which makes us a winner in its own way.
Spider: Riddle:
I use my saliva to build my abode anywhere, and use my abode to catch my prey of small insects. Who am I?
Lesson learned: Spider : Just as the spider exudes the thread from its mouth, weaves a web, lives on it and then withdraws into itself, so too the Lord has brought out the world from himself. God has no desires, and He is beyond cause and effect. God manifests Himself as the world and God withdraws the Universe into Himself.
Larva: Riddle:
I am woolly in the beginning, sheltered and wrapped inside a cocoon, only to come out in flying colors. Who am I?
Lesson learnt: Larva : Teaches us that you become what you think of. Larva thinks of the butterfly, and it becomes the butterfly.
Attendance: Class Attendance was taken after this.
Quiz: We had a healthy quiz between girls and boys on all the topics covered so far.
Class Play: We did some practice today for our Class Play.
And then we all went to the Assembly for Aarthi and Pledge, we watched the grade 2 and grade 5 Class Play.
We have completed the syllabus from My 24 Gurus, and we learnt many good things from the Gurus, which we can incorporate in our day to day life. It was a very interesting topic for us to learn from.
