Revision of fruit names in Telugu

Spoken Telugu - 4 students formed 2 pairs - to discuss a) buyer seller situation b) Two friends discussing about going to fruit market situation.

We also discussed a few simple English sentences and learnt how to say them in Telugu. Some examples given below.

* Do you come here daily?

* No, I come  here only once a week

* Do you know my name?

* Does Sita sing well?

* Do you like Sweets?

* Do you meet them daily?

* At what time do you get up in the morning?

* Where does your father work?

* How do you go to school every day?

Parents, hereafter please speak to your children in Telugu only. They are picking up Telugu fast with peer motivation and your encouragement and filling in where they need will take them a long way.

Writing practice - We practiced a few words with Ou, am, aha gunintams from page 26 and 28 of Mana Telugu Sisu book. 

Homework

We will practice writing vattulu in the next 2 classes. The homework for this week is practicing vattulu. The practice sheet can be downloaded at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3IeuUQA9h8NalhEWFU0Nm9CbjA 

Please have your kids work on the worksheet. Also, discuss the meaning of the word along with its English counterpart with them. That would enrich their Telugu vocabulary.

Note: Only one student submitted the mid term exam to compensate for Telugu mid term exam score. Please check and work with your child to get it completed to get the eligible score. 

Plan for next class
