What happened in the class today?

Mid term exam


We had the mid term exam today. Students were initially worried about the exam but, did well later. I shall distribute the graded papers in the next class. 
Please note that the next class is on January 8

Many students missed the exam. They will have only One more opportunity on January 8 for re-exam.Students who have attended the exam today cannot take the re-exam. Please note the date. The re-exam will be in the same format as today's exam (please follow the same guidelines as posted in the previous blog below for sample exam paper and paper organization). Requests for re-exam on later dates will not be accepted.

Homework

Since we have a break of 3 weeks, please review the following homework carefully. I wanted to repeat that what we cover in class is perhaps 10% of their learning and what you work with them at home is 90% of their learning. Talking to the kids always in Telugu would be a great asset to accelerate their learning.

1. To ensure that the kids retain their memory of the vegetables, either take them to the grocery store every time along with you and ask them to say the corresponding name of the vegetables that they see there. You can do the same exercise at the lunch/dinner table also.

2. We are going to start the theme of fruits in the next class. Here is the reference sheet. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3IeuUQA9h8NSnhqYXRoSGM3YjA 
The students can first learn how to say the Telugu counterparts for the fruits. Then  the next step is for them to learn how to write the names. This should not take more than 2-3 hours of work. I am giving a heads up now so that you can spread it out in the holidays.

3. TCA Telugu Badi is organizing తెలుగు భాషా పోటీలు
When: January 7, 2017
Where: Spillane Middle School, 13403 Woods-Spillane Blvd, Cypress, TX 77429

As the parents of Mana  Telugu Madhyama students, let us participate in big number and make our presence felt in the competition. The participation is more significant than winning a prize. Please see below for more information and get in touch with your respective Telugu teacher for any further guidance.

Finally, we wanted to wish you all Happy holidays and a happy new year 2017!
