The kids had the most fun listening to and acting out the story "Pyaasa Kauwa". In course of the story, kids learned new Hindi words such as "Pyaasa, Kauwa, Ghada, Kankad" etc., and also practiced hindi counting (while putting pebbles in the jar). | | |
| | Exercise- Counting, cut and paste the correct number
| | |
| | Last Sunday we had a special guest at Gurukul, who taught the kids about benefits of Yoga and showed them some Asanas too, like Surya Namaskar, Singh-Asana etc. In the classroom we all talked more about Yoga and tried those poses. While duing Asanas we revised our numbers in Hindi :).
Our volunteer for October 5th class are Monica Shah(Disha Shah's Mom) and Anitha Anand(Ajith's Mom). | | |

Dear Parents,
On October 5th, we started with a very interesting story titled "Ek Bunder Aur Do Billi". Children got to learn that "Greed always cause trouble and sharing is good". Through the story we explored more Hindi vocabulary like "Bunder, Billi, Roti, Baatna(sharing) etc. Because Oct 2 was GandhiJi's birthday, we talked about Gandhiji and why we call him "Baapu"(father of our Nation(Bharat)). We also talked about Dussera and how and why we celebrate it. So parents, please talk to your child little bit about Gandhiji and also about Dussera, so that it can be reinforced and they can remember what they learned at school.
Thanks,
Shweta
