Week 7

 We started class by talking about how we were going to dress up for Halloween. For example:

" मैं  HARRY POTTER बनूँगा "

We then worked on इ मात्रा sections in the Hindi workbook - pages 13, 14, and 15a.

Finally we played a game that combined basketball, a गुलाबी सुअर , and Hindi!

For homework, please show your child the following words and see if they are able to read them (and tell you the meaning!):

कल 

काला 

किताब 

दस 

गिलास 

दिया 

हाथ 

हरा 

घर 


If they are having a difficult time with letter recognition, please contact me and I will spend extra time with them. By the second half of the year, if your child cannot recognize Hindi letters then they might fall behind. By the end of the year we will aim to have them be comfortable writing basic words in Hindi.

My emphasis is definitely on the spoken language, but they are certain reading and writing skills that we need to teach too.

I will be away for Week 8, but Suneetha Ji will be there.

One more thing - we watched a couple of nursery rhyme videos. The kids enjoyed these, and we'll watch more as the year goes by! We watched the song at 8:39 (नानी नानी)
