September 8, 2013: Today, we talked about Ganesh Chathurthi, its significance, Ganesha's favorite food and the manner in which it is celebrated in a home, in a community, in India and abroad.

We then started with our Religion Unit - the great epic Ramayana. We discussed and reviewed the first three kandas of the Ramayana, that included - the childhood and youth of Rama, the wedding of Rama & Sita, Rama's exile, the forest life of Rama, Sita & Lakshmana, the carrying away of Sita by Ravana and the valiant attempt of Jatayu to save Sita.
