Hari Om!!

                 We had the 3-6 graders join us today & we started the class with our daily prayers. Then, we moved on Caupai 17.  Vibishana, the brother of Ravana was a devotee of Lord Rama. Lord Hanuman went to meet Sita Mathaa in Lanka & thats where he met Vibishana & found out that he was a great devotee of Lord Rama. Lord Hanuman advised Vibishana to surrender himself to Lord Rama & assured him that Lord Rama will accept him. Lord Hanuman, tried to catch the sun assuming it to be a fruit. Even as a baby, he was fearless. Lord Hanuman flew over & crossed the ocean with Lord Rama's ring in his mouth. Be it chanting Lord Rama's name or thinking about Him, will help us succeed in everything in life. The story how Birbal was appointed at King Akbar's court well explained about being fearless.


               As a class activity, we again had 2 teams lead by Varun & Rahul (3-6 graders) who had a few 2nd graders in each of their teams. The teams enacted one scene from Ramayana where Lord Hanuman had an important role to play (under chapters covered today). Varun & his team enacted the scene where Hanuman flies to Lanka to meet Sita and notices Vibishana in a decorated house, chanting Lord Rama's name. Varun being the narrator, Karan acted as Hanuman, Vedant as Vibishana & Ayushi as Sita.


             The other team led by Rahul enacted the scene where Hanuman helps Rama to build a bridge to cross the ocean. Rama threw a stone on the water and it sank. Understanding the depth of the water, Rama instructed his team to build the bridge. Hanuman wrote Rama's name on a rock & dropped it in the water & the rock floated. Rahul being the narrator, Amit acted as Hanuman & Athreya as Rama. Both the teams exhibited good team work. We all wished Rahul as he turns 11 now before dispersing.

Homework:

1. Memorize caupai 17 to 19 while coloring the pages pertaining to respective caupais.

2. In a sentence, write down the meaning of the caupai from 17 to 19.
