Tamil Jr. October 11th 2015

Today we had a short class due to Back to Balavihar for Language classes we did not get much done. Thanks for all the parents who came in today. For those who missed it, do not worry, we have already sent you the information through our welcome letter. If you have any questions we will be happy to answer you in the next class or you can always email us. 

   As per the class today, We practiced the alphabet song as a class. Then went ahead with the group activity.
Group A: 
  We reviewed our home work. Many of them had done the homework. Good job for all those who made an effect. We learn the consonant sounds today and quickly reviewed the colors and number words by playing the tossing the cube game. Each child tossed the color cube to one another . They have to say a sentence with the color the cube landed in. The same way we played with number dice too. 
 All the children did a good job. 
Homework for this group is learn page 2,3 and 19 in their textbook. They will have a quiz next class. Winners get to pick a prize from the prize box!!!. We will also start writing the consonant sounds in the next class
 
Group B: 
    We continued the family words . We also did worksheets to practice writing the alphabets அ , ஆ  and alphabet sequence. We will work on writing the at least 2 letters in each class.  We will request parents to have the kids practice writing those letters in the house too. If you want to get tracing, you can get more printable from http://www.baasha.net/baasha_workout.html for practicing.
    Home work for next week is practice writing letters அ , ஆ . Saying the vowel sounds in the right order. kids who could say the vowel sounds in the right order and also identify the given vowel sound will get pick a prize from the prize box.  If time permits, we will play letter bingo game.

Talking Log:
    All the kids (both groups) should maintain a talking log in their notebooks. Each day kids need to speak minimum 5 minutes in Tamil with their family and/or friends. Parents please sign the log so that we know. 

 Also practice the vowel sound Rhyme. We want all the kids to have it memorized before going to next song. 
Here is the link to that song recording. Let us know if you are unable to access it.
