What did we cover in the class?

Core Activity

Core curriculum started this week.

Story

nakka - draakshapaLLu (నక్క - ద్రాక్షపళ్ళు ) story with meaning. This was connected to the sameta అందని ద్రాక్షపళ్ళు పుల్లన

The story printout was distributed. You can find it here.
Students were asked to read the story నక్క - ద్రాక్షపళ్ళు line by line and were helped as needed. Please work with the students to read the whole story with you again. As they slowly get used to the cult of reading Telugu, repetition would help.

పొగరుగల గొర్రె పోతు story was discussed. This will be read by the students in the next class.

sametalu - 

The following sametalu were revised. These sametalu were used in the real-life context. Parents, please try to use these sametalu by discussing with the students about some real life contexts.

అందని ద్రాక్షపళ్ళు పుల్లన    andani draakshapaLLu pullana

The following new sametalu were taught. The apparent meaning and hidden meaning of these sametalu was discussed and real life context will be discussed next week along with some more usage examples.

Homework

On a white paper in your notebook, write 10 sentences in Telugu about ocean (సముద్రం). Students are expected to dicsuss with parents and finish the home work.

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.
