Hope you all had a fun Holidays and New Year beginning.
Today both and Jr. and intermediate class had a joined class for practice and the very low attendance in the Jr. class. Since all 2nd graders have to leave early for the biksha, we made a quick but very productive session. First both the level kids sang their respective song to be performed in the Assembly on Jan 24th. They all did a good job.
From intermediate class, Star Student Keerthana brought a Teddy bear toy and talked about it. She did a very good job telling us , where she go and where did she buy the toy. What is its name etc all in Tamil.
Great Job Keerthana.
There is good response to the show and tell in the class. try that in the house too. Ask the children to say a few words in tamil about one of their toy. They like to talk to talk about their favorite subject.
In Junior class, Anusri and her brother said the "thirukkural". It was very nice of her to say with perfect pronunciation. Excellent work Anushri.
If your child has any special quality that they can show in Tamil, (like talk about their artwork, tamil song, rhyme, talk about a topic, poem recital...) let us know. We will motivate them in the class by giving opportunity for the presentation.
Jr. kids worked on the songs, practiced their numbers after that.
In the intermediate group, kids wrote the consonant sounds. Children who finished all the 6 were taught the next 6, one who finished 12 were taught the last 6, and the one who finished the 18 were taught the secondary letters.
Some kids who were interested in drawing, were asked to draw a picture representing pongal and made to write "பொங்கல் வாழ்த்துக்கள் ".
Today kids were in good spirit and did everything nicely. Good job kids.
Home work:
January is a "Thank you Month". So next class each kid has to come with answer to the following question.
நீங்கள் யாருக்கு நன்றி சொல்வீர்கள் ?ஏன்?
(Who you are thankful for and why?)
