5. Children were taught how to write their name. They should know the meaning of their name and would be asked to write and know the meaning of their names. So, it should be like Mere naam kaa matlab hai beautiful. In other words the sentence has to be in hindi but the literal translation of the name or explanation can be in English.

6. There would be a short quiz/ tournament. The class will be divided in three groups.

 

See you at the Gurukul:)

Write and learn the proper sounds of all the vyanjan - in Devanagiri, please. The sound can be written in Roman. So, first the vyanjan in Devanagiri followed by the sound( in english letters, like ph, k, sh, shh etc.)

Submit the homework with your name and date in hindi i.e. Devanagiri and not Roman( English).

 

1. Write the Vyanjan  from  (k -  h, kSh, tr, GY) क - ह, क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ
Write in the group of five like
    क ख ग घ ङ
    च छ ज झ ञ
    and so on.
This aids in memorization as all the letters of the  Devanagiri script are grouped  into fives  based on what part of the mouth are used.
2. Memorize all  the Vyanjan . This is to make the kids familiar with the letters and their sounds.
3. Bonus- meaning of sycophant, thug. Want the meaning in hindi, one word please.

We reviewed all the letters and gave 2 letter word dictation to the class. Kids did a great job and kids were proud of their work and we all should be as well.

The homework is to go through the words, memorise it. Visualise the words, say them, use action to remember. Use them every day, maybe once atleast, in anyway you can.

Please write neat, use separate lines for the sentences. Skip lines between each sentence( some of you squeeze them which makes it hard to read), remember the punctuation, double check for the spelling. Parents can read to make sure that it is.

 

One hint, when you compose any sentence, please think in an Indian language rather then English. Sentence formulation is quite similar in most Indian languages.
