We revised the lesson taught in the previous class- a new grammar construct involving the Present Continuous form of a sentence. Until now they learnt “Neil khelta hai, Radha khaati hai..”. We introduced  “Neil khel raha hai..” “Radha kha rahi hai…” concepts.

The lesson is available at the following location: https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=55607894C85E7326&id=55607894C85E7326%211061

Students also presented their homework (in the form of a conversation) in class- Rohit and Rohini memorized their lines and were able to carry on their conversation without the help of any paper aids.

Kids need to practice their spoken Hindi at home- a few minutes daily is sufficient to gain confidence and begin speaking Hindi- please encourage them to use Hindi words for their daily routines like naashta, kitaab, daant saaf karna etc. Please use the winter break to ensure that they practice their spoken Hindi at home!!

Hindi
Due to the PTA meetings, we did not have a regular Hindi class. Our parent volunteers Tanmeet ji and Neha ji did a marvelous job  in revising the course material and working with the kids. Please ask the kids to revise DAYS OF THE WEEK (Pg No.39) in the binder for the next class.
 
We also request that parents review the feedback provided in the mid-term results and work with the kids on focus areas. Use of flash cards, Skydrive/YouTube video links and everyday conversation will really help all kids become more fluent in Hindi

We started introducing new grammar construct for students- the Present Continuous form of a sentence. Until now they learnt “Neil khelta hai, Radha khaati hai..”. We introduced  “Neil khel raha hai..” “Radha kha rahi hai…” concepts. This lesson will be continued in the next class as we were unable to cover some of the material planned due to time constraints.
