Week 22

  This week the children were introduced to the final maatra: औ 

म + औ + स + अ + म = मौसम  ("mausam") (weather)

   Note the difference in the sound between ओ and औ

ओ makes an "o" sound like you would hear in the words: boat, rope, jello

The औ sound is closer to (but not exactly) what you would hear in words like: hot, call, saw

Here are the new words from this week:

खिलौना (toy) (khilaunaa)

मौसम (weather) (mausam)

औरत (lady) (aurat)

और (and) (aur)

पौधा (plant) (paudha)

Previously we learned to say present continuous sentences with the following verbs:

Eat (khaa), Drink (pii), come (aa), go (jaa)

This week, we learned:

Play (khel)

Sleep (so)

For homework, please:

1) Have your child practice writing the औ words.

2) Ask your child to say the following sentences in Hindi:

- I am playing

- The lion is playing

- I am sleeping

- The queen is sleeping
