Story: We talked about alphabet 'E for ENTHUSIASM. We talked Gitu, the tiny chipmunk who showed enthusiasm in all her work. All animals in the jungle were making fun of her because of her size but she still worked hard and succeded. We also talked about another story - a boy named Anand. Parents be sure and ask your kids to narrate the stories and recite the Bhajans they have learnt in class. We reviewed alphabet A thru D.
