Tamil Jr. class (3/15/15)

This  week we practiced the days of the week with flash card. Each kid had a packet of weekdays . they have to put the names in the right order. We also asked what comes after , where they have to pick the right day and show. 
 Then we had the kids paste them in their notebook in the correct order. 
  We also had the kids pasted the Weather related words. We will be working on it in the next class. 
      This week , kids earned their second star!!! towards cupcake party at the end of the year. They were all very attentive and followed directions well in the class. 
Home work: Each kid went home with a consonant tracing activity pasted in their notebooks. Many kids finished it in the class itself. Please have them practice it at home. Use the following link to refer to the consonant sounds. This link has a youtube video. Have the kids listen to it couple of times so that they get familiarized with the letter sounds.
