Tamil Jr. Class (12/21/14)

This week , the class had moderate strength. We worked on creating a poster in Tamil for the New Year wishes. Kids were give a print out where they could trace the wish in Tamil and draw the appropriate image.
Before designing the poster we quickly revised uyir ezhuthukkal and sang kulla kulla vaathu a couple times.
 We also learnt 5 action words(picture given).  we will be working on more action words in the next class.  Please review these words in the house. Kids can learn the words more often if they could practice them in their day to day life at home. 

Our next class will be 1/4/15
Happy New Year to all

Tamil Jr. class (12/7/14)

     Today we revised the vowel sound. Most of the kids forgot the letters. So we re-did the vowel sound and worked on it with various small interactive activities to remember all the vowel sounds. All the kids did a good job. 
   Then we worked on animal names. Kids are made to write the english and tamil word( in english) in their notebook. We also heard a rhyme "kulla kulla vaaththu".
The homework for the next week is they need to practice their letters, animals and try to practice the song. its a small rhyme. please have them hear this song and try to sing. 
Here is the youtube link to this song.
