What did we cover in the class?

Core Activity

Spoken Telugu: 3 kids talked about their Harvey experiences. 3 more kids are signed up to discuss their experiences in next class. This exercise was not only useful but, to see the students come up with so much of enthusiasm was awesome. 

We had fun quiz to revise the vocabulary about natural disasters. We learnt a few new words related to travel from the vocabulary list that can be found here 

Discussed about the significance of Dasara and Deepavali. Discussed the Telugu tithis (month & day) of those festivals. We will revise the Telugu months and year organization in subsequent classes.

After looking at the students' situation, we decided to revise gunintalu & vattulu in the next 3-4 classes. The schedule sheets I distributed (parents, please collect it from students) in the class today did not reflect that shift. So, we may be running behind in the schedule in favor of a revision of gunintalu and vattulu to let the students gain confidence in basics. 

Parents: I distributed a gunintaalu and vattulu reference sheet in the class today. So, if you can work with them to get started with gunintaalu for next class, that would help.

Homework

Worksheets 4 and 5 in Mana Telugu Sisu (UKG) అభ్యాసము book. Many students did not complete worksheets 1 to 3 which was the home work last week. It is fun to do those exercises and that gives them the revision of some basics. Please encourage your children to do those worksheets.

Plan for next class

Spoken Telugu – 3 kids talk in Telugu about their experiences during Harvey.

Travel vocabulary part-II 

Padyam: tanakopame (sumati satakam)

Telugu year organization, months, fortnights and tithis & how they align to some festivals.

Note:

Please ensure that your child gets a note book and a pencil/pen to the class. We will have them practice writing skills also in every class. In addition, they will have something to note.

The students are also supposed to get their gunintalu & vattulu reference sheet (distributed in class today) to **every class**. This would help as we try to learn & master writing and reading.

We had fun quizzes to revise fruits, flowers, animals, weeks of the day and relationships. Boys and girls were made into separate groups and the competitive spirit was audible to the students in the next class :-)
