What did we cover in the class?

Core Activity

1. Padyam - revision of tanakOpame tana Satruvu

2. Story: 4 students spoke about what they learned from Simhagadh story from last class

3. Revision of 12 months and 8 directions in Telugu

Gunintalu practice session 4 (dictation) - We followed a different approach which was liked by the students. We discussed a word first, its usage in a sentence and then write the sentence in Telugu. Please note that these words are based on the words given in the text book మన తెలుగు శిశు (UKG). The sentences are given below.

This jewelry is good - ఈ నగలు చాలా బాగుంటాయి
There is a stain on my palm - నా అర చేతి మీద మరక ఉంది
This sugar cane is very sweet - ఈ చెరుకు గడ చాలా తీయగా ఉంది
It is very pleasant - ఇది చాల హాయిగా ఉంది
I had a stomach-full of meals - నేను కడుపు నిండా భోజనం చేశాను

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

Parents, homework this week is important. Please ensure that you work with your kids to finish the homework.

Homework

Not many completed last week's home work. So, students who did not complete last week home work, need to complete it this week. From pages 2 to 26 of the text book మన తెలుగు శిశు (UKG), the students are expected to take 2-4 words in each gunintam, read them and write them on a white paper (in the presence of their parents), and get the paper to the next class. Students must work with parents in this home work.

This week's home work is as follows.
I dictated a few sentences in Telugu. Students need to work with their parents to translate them into Telugu and write them on a white paper and return. Basics of writing sentences were discussed in the class. So, parents, please observe how much they absorbed the concepts in class
1. I have a parrot - నాతో ఒక చిలక ఉంది
2. I go to school - నేను బడికి వెడతాను
3. I eat mangoes - నేను మామిడి పండులు తింటాను
4. There is cold breeze outside - బయట చలి గాలి ఉంది
5. The street has many lines - ఈ వీధిలో చాలా గీతలు ఉన్నాయి

Home work will contribute to 10% of the final score 

Plan for next class

Travel vocabulary revision - a few sentences about travel, first spoken in English and then translated into Telugu

Revision - gunintalu - exercise in writing gunintalu and dictation for writing words

Simple sentences (contd) - translation and writing in Telugu

Padyam - koorimi gala (sumati Satakam)

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.
