We started our lessons this week with Ramayana Sundara Kanda (Beautiful Book). Kids learned about how Hanuman leapt across the ocean to see Sita and how he set Lanka on fire.

We did not watch any videos on this but we will do so next week.

In our History unit, we discussed the concept of timelines and watched a funny video on States and Capitals.

We also had our first homework assignment!

Kids need to write down/find out which state(s) their parents came from in India.

Bonus points: Also write down 3 neighboring states of parents' states.

Note: This applies even if the parents were not born in India - we can discuss where in the world their parents came from.

We will start on the Colonization of India in the next class.

Parents - the Ramayana ppt shown in the class is attached to this post. We told the kids to listen in class and take notes since all these will be included in a Jeopardy quiz later on in the year :-)
