What did we cover in the class?

Core Activity

Homework review
One of the students explained his writing about navaratri, Deepavali and his fictitious conversation with his uncle when his uncle visits his home. Another student will do the same in next class.

Padyam
Revision of poem Sri Raghurama padyam - first padaym from Dasaradhi Satakam. Next week students would be asked to recite in the class. Parents, please work with the students to have the poem recited a few times. This would be important for the midterm exam.

Reading
Reading part-2 (last part) of the story of telivigala kaaki. This week's homework is based on the story. You can find a soft copy of the story here

Podupu kathalu - introduction
Introduced the concept of podupu kathalu. Also discussed the following podupu kathalu

అందరినీ పైకి తీసుకువెళ్లాను. నేను మాత్రం పైకి వెళ్లలేను. నేనెవరు?
నిచ్చెన, మెట్లు

వేయి కనులు కలిగి, నాలుగు కాళ్లు కలిగి, నరడు పట్టుకొన్న నడవగాజాలడు.
మంచం

నామం ఉంటుంది కానీ పూజారి కాదు. వాలముంటుంది కాని కోతి కాదు.
ఉడుత

ఎంత దానం చేసినా తరగనిది. అంతకంతకూ పెరిగేది.
విద్య
