Week 6

Wishing everyone a happy diwali!



(incidentally one of the news words we learned today was दिया )

We started off class by reviewing all the words that we have learned so far. Quiz your child by asking them to say the word: Example "How do you say FIRE in Hindi?'
It seems like most of the students know most/all the words. Here is the list so far:

Nouns: घर जग बस फल दस कल आग बाल हाथ दाल कान नाक चार

Adjectives: दस, लाल, काला, चार, आठ , हरा, गुलाबी, नारंगी, काला, सफ़ेद, पीला, नीला, लाल, छोटा, बड़ा , खट्टा , मीठा , अच्छा, बुरा/खराब, ठंडा , गरम 

Next we broke off into smaller groups and practiced making sentences with these words. These are the sentence formats we practiced:

The new concept we went over is  "मुझे ____ चाहिए".  We also went over the negative form in a sentence, such as "मुझे ____ नहीं चाहिए " "मेरे पास ___ नहीं है "  The students came up with some clever and funny sentences!

Finally we learned the छोटी इ की मात्रा and a few new words:

दिन 
दिल 
किताब 
सिर 
गिलास 
चिड़िया 
दिया 

For homework, please ask the students to create (speak) sentences with the above words. Please try to have them include the concept of  चाहिए , and also please challenge them to say sentences in the negative.
Some examples:

यह दिन अच्छा है

यह किताब अच्छा नहीं है

मुझे गरम दिया चाहिए

गिलास मे ठंडा पानी है
