Hari Om!
A very warm welcome to all old and new families. We have a very enthusiastic bunch of kids in the 7th grade class this year. The syllabus for this year is P.O.Box Mr.God, Keys to success. Since this was our first class, we introduced ourselves to each other and played some ice-breaker games. The children said some fun facts about themselves and their likes and dislikes. We discussed as to what they like about Balavihar. We explored a few questions on God: 1) who is god, 2) where is god and 3) writing a letter to god. The children had different answers for these questions from
"God is a spiritual being who brings good to the world", "God is faith" ", "God is Paramatma" and "God is a force of Energy". For the second question on where is God, the children came up with "God is within us", "God is in heaven", "God is Everywhere". On what they would write in a letter to god, they wanted to ask, "why school started early", "to bring peace to the world", " to become the president of the united states", "how the universe started", "happiness and peace". We will be expanding further on these questions during the course of our lessons and will re-visit them at the end of our last lesson and compare the answers with the one from today. We concluded the class with a Closing Payer.
