Mar 2019 - Kindergarten

Hari Om,

We have continued studying Vedantic Alphabets and this month we covered vedantic letters T, U and V and revised the slokas from earlier class.

T is for TRUTH
Truth is integrity and sincerity in words and actions. We can always be truthful by not being scared of the consequences and understanding that it is always better to tell the truth than lies. The benefit of speaking truth is that ultimately truth alone wins.

We narrated few Scenarios:
1. Your mom asks if you brushed your teeth. You did not,but you still say,Yes
2. You dad asks you, Did you eat your lunch? You did not,instead you dumped in the trash,but you still say ,Yes.
3. Your teacher asks if you read the book. You did not,but you still say,Yes.

What we learn from the above:
We lie when we feel that truth will get us into trouble but a lie will save us. We lie because we forget that truth always wins.

Tale: The boy who cried wolf. A boy who repeatedly lied about seeing a wolf and cried for help. Later no one came to help when he really saw the wolf and cried for help. Moral - By lying, we can hurt ourself and other arount.

Game :It is hard to Lie. Children should show gestures opposite to what teacher says. Ex. Teacher says "Big Fish" Kid should quickly make a gesture opposite of what teacher said, here it is small. Children who show wrong gesture are out of the game.  Inference - Dealing with truth is lot simpler as compared to dealing with lies.


U is for UNITY
Unity is join hands and work together to help each other. Unity is strength. When we are united,we have far better chance of  succeeding  in life and protecting ourselves.

Unity is our body:
Hands pick food from the plate;teeth chews;stomach digests and assimilate it. Nourishment goes to the whole body. Eyes see car coming,They do not on to the information. Quickly they inform the brain. The brain tells the legs to run. All body parts are different. They look different and function different. Still they all work together. This is called UNITY IN DIVERSITY.

Tale: The four cows. (Lion couldnt attack the cows when they were together and was ready to attack when they were divided). We have a far better chance of protecting ourselves from an enemy if we stand together.

V is for VICTORY
Victory is when you attain your goal. To be victorious,work hard and always speak truth.

Game: what is victory?. We divided kids into groups and made each group do the same activity but with different challenges. After playing them , we made them realize that every one who completed the activity is a winner and not how fast one completes it.
 Anyone who reaches the set goal is a winner. Some difficulty will come,but keep moving with focused mind. Ultimately we will reach the goal.

Tale: The Marathon Race (This story is about how a boy trips and falls down during the run. A;; the fellow runners come to help the boy and they together complete the race. )

Tale: King Hariscandra

Emblem of India: we talked about The Emblem of India and what is written in it.  The inscription in our emblem states: Satyameva Jayate( Truth only wins).

National Anthem Of India - We taught them how to stand when they here the National Anthem and practiced the same.

With Love,
CMRDU Sevaks,
Suganya, Praveena and Shruthi.
