Rashmi Aunty and Prajna didi:
In today's class, we had wonderful discussions about God, God's presence, God's part in our lives, our awareness of His presence! Gosh, are we striding BIG steps or what!! We heard interesting stories regarding this topic. We then wanted to relate to some other story we'd heard a while ago. Instead of hearing from Aunty, the children themselves finished the story, one sentence at a time!! We are so impressed at the attentive group of children we have in class! The chanting is coming along beautifully as well. Parents, if you have not already done so, please register you children for the competition. They are all very enthusiastic about it. We then went to the auditorium to watch a play, followed by aarti and pledge.
