HINDU MYTHOLOGY — COMPLETE!
2G enjoyed their Hindu mythology !
They learned about the Brahman, the Tiger and the Jackal…
2G enjoyed drawing Hindu gods and goddesses…
PIXAR artist Sanjay Patel also wrote the version of Ramayana we read. 2G now knows — and knows well for 7 and 8 year olds — a classic of Indian literature.
The Ramayana is a hard act to follow, but the Amma, Tell Me books add wonderfully to the stock of great stories from the Indian subcontinent, beginning with the further adventures of Hanuman!
Then moving onto Krishna’s battles with all sorts of serpents and bad guys!
And— how did Ganesha get his elephant’s head?
We finish up with Sanjay Patel’s delightful PIXAR short — 7-minute animation film — Sanjay’s Super Team. (Available on Apple TV for sure, elsewhere no doubt.)
Next up: Hawaiian myths.
MATH, MATH & MO’ MATH
Today we learned that the “standard” 10 question “Math Quiz” is no longer sufficiently challenging for 2G working in pairs! So many pairs fished well within the time frame that, next time, we’ll be going to 15 questions!
• Warm up
Amazing, eh?
Of course, after Round 1 of Three-Station Rotation, a Math Quiz and Round 2, Round 3 can be a tough, tough mental slog with lots of Slush Brain beginning to pop up in every station!
But, how better to build mental/academic stamina? : )
