We thank Chinmaya Mission for giving us the opportunity to teach, guide, serve and most importantly, learn and grow alongside our young Balavihar students.<\/p>\n<p>Each child came to class with a unique personality of their own. Watching them explore the Alphabet Safari curriculum was a reminder that learning is not a one-way journey. Through the Alphabet Safari curriculum, we explored not only letters and words, but also values that help shape young hearts and minds. Together, we learned about kindness, gratitude, respect, sharing, and responsibility through stories, songs, crafts, games, and everyday interactions.<\/p>\n<p>The children delighted in learning through engaging indoor\/outdoor games and activities that brought the lessons to life. During our several walks to the park, we practiced the Chinmaya Mission pledge, reviewed our Alphabet Safari lessons, and discovered that learning can happen anywhere. Walking, observing, singing, and exploring together helped the children connect with the lessons in a joyful and meaningful way.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to the families who entrusted us with their little ones and to Chinmaya Mission for making this beautiful journey possible. We cherish the memories we created together and look forward to many more Alphabet Safari adventures in the years ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Teachers and Volunteers: Kamala, Shubhashree and Yashodara As another wonderful year of Alphabet Safari ends, our hearts are filled with gratitude.
