What did we cover in the class?

Story (Anecdote)

Revised last week's story of Sibi chakravarty

Core Activity

The attendance was very less today (less than 30% of the class). However, we continued with spoken Telugu.

Students talked about their holiday experiences or the fruit that like and why. Students participated with a lot of enthusiasm. I would say that the spoken skills of the students are taking very decent shape. Parents, kudos to you and please continue talking to the students in Telugu

Since the attendance was low, we had the students take dictation of words involving Telugu gunintams. The idea is eventually to drive them towards sentences having simple gunintams. 30 seconds was provided for them to write the word and then in the next 30 seconds, we showed the students on how to write the word. The homework for this week also reflects practice in  this direction.

Homework

Page 2 to 24 of Mana Telugu Sisu. Please work with your children to have them read, write and understand the meaning of those words. This is very important as we are trying to enrich the students with Telugu vocabulary so that they do not hesitate to talk in Telugu.

 Plan for next class
