This week we had three new faces to the tamil class. We revised and worked on the week days . We wrote the names on the board and asked the kids to find the names of the weeks . Most of them did ok. They all need more practice.
We also started learning consonants. From this week,only kids who followed directions and who did the best effort to speak in tamil during the class are allowed to pick a prize from the price box.
This week's winner for best effort in speaking Tamil is "Keerthana". She tried her best to communicate in tamil as much as possible. Keep it up Keerthana. We will be looking forward for more kids to get the prize too. Harish, Omkar, Visvam got to pick a prize too for following directions. They were attentive in class and tried to do their best in all activities.
Our homework for the next week is that they have to speak at least 1 to 5 minutes each day in Tamil with their family / friends. They have to record the minutes and get signature from their parents. Have the kids practice "Days of the week" words. It is attached in the notebook to all those who have a Tamil notebook.
Parents: Please do not insist on pure language speaking skills for now. Encourage them to speak .A Tamil words in their English sentences is good too.
Eg: "Amma, I want to play. Naan Poeganum?"
" I am hungry. Saappidanum".
Also, We will not be allocating separate snack time. But kids are allowed have the snack while doing their activities. So please send in a mess free snack (like cracker/fruit snacks) for the kids.
For New kids :
All Tamil Jr. kids needs to have a notebook ,pencil, crayon/color pencil, Glue stick, folder to keep the printouts. We have all the printout for the class in the BBNJTamil google drive and shared only with the class parents. Please make sure, you have all the printouts.
