Tami Jr. Class 11/16/14

The class was split into two groups. 
     Group -1  was kids in Preschool thru kindergarten. Vidya iyer had the kids put the vowel letter stickers in order. It will in their  folder or their notebook. Use that to practice the e vowel sounds and letter sequence. By next class they should have learned to identify all the letters. 
  Group - 2 (The older kids) are made to write the vowel letters in their notebook. Most of the kids are able to do it. I have informed the respective parents for the kids who have little trouble. Please do practice the tracing of letters at home (like once a week..). 

  Both group are very well understanding of color and number. Each kid put the flash card image under each right color column. Then we counted how many images are there under each color. Every did an excellent job. 
   Then we split the class in to  4 groups under color names and did a vocabulary quiz. We asked the tamil word for all the vocabulary we did so far in class. Everyone (including the little ones) did a great job. It was a very narrow win for the "Manjal" team.  
     Awesome kids. Everybody needs a pat on their back. 
     We will be moving on to consonant for kids who got through writing  vowel on their own. Others will work on vowel for one more week. 
    Next class we will be working on more animal words.Then learn week days and words related to  day and time of day.
 Our next class will be 12/07/14.
Until then their home work will  be speak  at least one word a day with their family in Tamil.

 Happy Thanksgiving.
   

Tamil Jr. Class (11/2/14)

      We started with relationships in the family in Tamil. The children were asked to note them down in their notebook. Parents, please send in a notebook with them every class. Thanks. Most kids did note down, a few without notebooks couldn't do so. We went through a couple of times the relationship. Children participated very well in telling.
    We then saw numbers in Tamil "ondru irandu.." up to "pathu" for little children. The rest did a remarkable job up to 40! good job everyone. Proud of all of you!
     Lastly, the children were asked to write their names in tamil on the chalkboard. It was a nice session.

 Next Balavihar on 16th November.  We have 2 weeks to practice all the vocabulary words we learned so far(refer to all the printout/document emailed so far). In the next class , there will be quiz to all the kids. Winning kid(s) will get a small prize!!! Kids will also be asked to write the vowel letters. 

 Thanks.
