Week 1: Welcome

Welcome to Hindi 2!

Dear parents,
   नमस्ते !
  Welcome to Hindi 2 at Shishu Bharati in Walpole. I will use this page to make announcements and provide updates (including homework, summaries of what was done in class, etc). You can always contact me with any questions at:  vtewari@gmail.com  

Our first class was an introduction. The students should each have a language book and a workbook. Please make sure your child brings a pencil and paper/notebook, along with the 2 Hindi books, to class every week.  Most of the students knew each other from Hindi 1, but there were also some new kids. It's normal for the students to be a little rusty, so we reviewed our vowels and certain consonants. We also practiced some basic vocabulary (colors, numbers, body parts) and some simple sentences, like मेरा घर बड़ा है

  For homework I have asked the students to write all the letters of the Hindi alphabet on a piece of paper. Please try to make sure that your child has a fairly good handle on recognizing and writing the letters of the alphabet within the next few weeks. Otherwise they will fall behind as the year moves on and we learn to read and write words.

  I am hope your child has an enjoyable and enriching time in Hindi 2. We seem to have a wonderful group of students, and I think the year will be a lot of fun!
