I bought crackers for DeepavaLi - నేను దీపావళికి టపాకాయలు కొన్నాను
It rained heavily today - ఈ రోజు వాన బాగా కురిసింది
I can sing a song - నేను పాట పాడగలను
This is a copper wire - ఇది ఒక రాగి తీగ
Please leave my neck - దయచేసి నా మెడ వదులు
I go to temple on Saturday - నేను గుడికి శనివారం వెడతాను
I am thirsty - నాకు దాహంగా ఉంది

Please discuss these with your kids and have them practice similar words/sentences.

Homework

The home work this week is to prepare well for the mid term exam

Plan for next class

Mid term exam

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.
