-My Perspective on
our 6th Grade Year
Hari Om,
It’s hard to believe that our 6th grade Balavihar
year went by so fast! We learned so much
from our class. and made memories to treasure from our lessons, skits, writing blogs, annadanam, movie night and picnic.
This year we have taken a journey into
Mahabharatha and learned life lessons from characters such as Karna and Yudhishtira. We enjoyed the heroic and humorous moments of
the stories, and the journey was lots of fun! I remember naming Sage Lamosa “The Samosa” as a way to
remember him! We also learned many slokas, bhajans,Geetha verses, discussions that promise to enhance our daily lives and
prepare us for the years of balavihar to come.
Outside of our usual class lessons every Sunday, we also took Karna’s lessons of helping others
and participated in an Annadanam in Edison. We participated in the balavihar CORD walkathon event to help the less fortunate people in India. Along
with that we also enacted a skit where we played roles as Mahabharata’s
characters, wearing beautiful costumes
and allowing the characters to really take life. It was an excellent learning experience and
it also helped me understand Mahabharatha in a way that I will not forget it.
The most memorable moment in Balavihar this year was our awesome class
picnic. Everyone was just having plain
“FUN!” The only thing some students
complained about was the ten minute walk from the school to the park but, it
was worth it because we had the opportunity to have fun playing outside not
only with our Balavihar friends but also with teachers. The
boys played basketball and other sports while the girls did a variety of activities
such as climbing trees with Vyjayanthi Aunty and Asha Aunty, going down the slides, and Ram uncle swinging on the swings with us for a short time. Following that a lot of our Balavihar classmates were ready to dig into the cupcakes,
munchkins, and others snacks brought by our wonderful class parents.
We couldn’t stop having fun together that because
of how joyous our Balavihar teachers made it for us as 6th graders. From Shlokas to Stories to Skits to activities every Sunday at Balavihar was a new and fun one
this past year, 2012-2013. So I thank my teachers for
making this a great year at Balavihar and I can’t wait to see what the next
year has to hold.
Have a great summer everybody!
Shivani Iyer
