September , 27 2015 Tamil Jr.

 Our First class went on well. Its good to see our friends from last year. We also welcome our new comers this year. Vidya and I are excited to be Tamil Jr. teacher. We have lots of fun activities planned for this year. 
   We started the class by each child introducing themselves to the class. We also reviewed vowel sounds with our returning students. 
May students still remembered them!!! We also learnt a new alphabet song in Tamil. We will be singing that song in our assembly presentation probably in January.
Good job kids!!!

Next class:
 We will  be getting to serious studying from next class.We are planning to split the class into two group. 

Group A (Kids who are done with vowel sounds): Will start consonant sound and words beginning with vowel sounds. 

Group B(New kids): Will start vowel sounds. Kids in grade -K and under will work only on oral skills. We will work on writing vowels for kids above grade 1. 

Textbook:
    This year we have got a text book for Tamil Jr. Our textbook will be available for purchase in the next class. It cost $6 per book.  We expect each child to have his or her own copy of the book as they will be writing on the activities in the book. 

Class List:
   From next class, each kid need to have the class list ready to get our class going. The following are required for each student and has be brought in for every class.


  • 1- Subject Notebook. If you have the note from last year, bring it. We will continue lessons from there.
  • Textbook
  • Sharpened pencil -2 , eraser
  • Color pencil or crayon ( basic 6 color is enough, No Markers please. It bleeds through the paper.)
  • Folder - to keep the printouts.
  • Snack (like cracker or nutrition bar. Pref. nut free.)

Snack:
Kids get hungry by the time, they get to language class. Please provide them with easy too eat snack. There will be not be specific snack time. Kids will eat while we are working on our lessons. So keep that in mind.  We will not encourage sharing of food as we are not aware of allergy information. Still to be on the safe side we insist on NUT FREE snack.
