Weeks 8 & 9

   Last week the students did Pages 11 & 12 in their workbooks. If your child was away, please have them do those pages at home. The children also played games involving writing small Hindi words on the board and translating English words into Hindi. Finally they practiced speaking Hindi sentences in the format "I like ....." and "I don't like... "

Please note: At this point in the year, your child should be relatively comfortable recognizing and eventually writing most Hindi consonants. Please test them by asking them to read you the following letters:

क 
ग 
प 
न 
ल 
त 

If your child is unable to recognize at least 4 out of the 6 above letters, please work with them on letter recognition. Also please let me know so Suneetha ji  and I can spend extra time with them.

 This week we learned the words क्या , कहाँ , वहाँ , यह , and   वो  We practiced saying several sentences with these words. These are tricky concepts, but practice will make perfect. We will continue to practice next week. In the meantime, ask your child to try to speak the following sentences in Hindi:

1) What is this? यह क्या है?
2) This is a pink pig. यह गुलाबी सूअर है
3) What is that? वह क्या है?
4) That is a yellow bus. वह पीला बस है
5) Where is the big house? बड़ा घर कहाँ है?
6) The big house is here. बड़ा घर यहां है
7) Where is the beautiful queen? सुन्दर रानी कहाँ है?
8) The beautiful queen is there. सुन्दर रानी यहां है

 Next we moved on to ई की मात्रा
The students learned the following words:
घड़ी
पानी
रानी
दही
  Quiz your child by saying the above words in English and asking them to translate into Hindi. Ask your child to practice writing the words.

Finally we watched the video आज मंगलवार है , which was quite funny. You can find this at 3:16 in the video below. This will be one of the songs we will be performing on Language Day later in the spring, so encourage your child to watch the video at their leisure.
