Herb of life

October 29: (As reported by Renee)

Ms E read a story of how Rama was injured by one of the demons and Hanuman was to save him... if only he was able to find the right herbs from a faraway mountain, and could return before sunrise.


The children tested the herbs . . .















Then proceeded to act out the narration.

Here lies Rama (B) dying...


















As Hanuman (O) could not decide which herb was the correct one, he picked up the whole mountain to take back to Rama! Just then the Sun (C) began to rise, which he tucked into the dark under his arm so that he may finish his quest before daylight...















After saving Rama, they completed an outdoor sun salutation before taking on the task of finishing construction of the 10 headed Demon King, Ravana!
