What did we cover in the class?

Core Activity

Padyam

నీళ్ళ లోన మీను నిగిడి దూరము పారు
బయట మూరెడయిన బార లేదు
స్థాన బలిమి గాని తన బలిమి గాదయా

విశ్వదాభిరామ వినుర వేమ

neeLLa lOna meenu nigiDi dooramu paaru
bayaTa mooreDayina baara lEdu
sthaana balimi gaani tana balimi gaadayaa

viSvadaabhiraama vinura vEma


Approach explained

For the first 3 months (Sep-Nov), we will use English as the basis for students to learn Telugu. Since these are advanced in learning Telugu, from Dec-May, Telugu will be taught without the help from English as the support. 

Reading & Writing Telugu sentences

We used reading and writing sentences to revise gunintams and vattulu. Every opportunity was availed to discuss new words to enrich the Telugu vocabulary of students. 5 sentences were translated from English to Telugu and written mostly by the students on the board. Corrections were suggested as needed.

Then, a few common Telugu sentences were discussed, written on board and students read the sentences.

Plan for next week

Revision of poem

Moral story - Reading and writing simple sentences - continued - from the story. Students will read the story line by line and understand.

Telugu week days, rutuvulu, Telugu months, directions will be discussed.

Homework

Parents, please check the notebooks of your kids. I gave 5 additional sentences in English that the children are expected to translate into Telugu and write them. Please ensure that they complete the homework and get it to the next class.

Please note:

The students are coming without a notebook and pen/pencil. Please ensure that they get a notebook & pen/pencil.

It is highly recommended for the students to have a binder as I plan to give printouts in most  classes. The students need to preserve the printouts to prepare well for the exams later in the academic year.

Parents, please speak to your children only in Telugu to maximize their learning.
