Hari Om!

Hindi Class (Sept. 29th 2013)

Junior:
We have started writing alphabets.
अ (A) - अ ना र  Anaar (Pomegranate)
आ (Aa)  - आ म Aam (Mango)

We did numbers (orally) in Hindi upto 7. They also learned to say धन्यवाद (Dhanyawad) which means Thank you. Please practice these small words and the basic conversations covered earlier at home so that they don't forget and are prepared to learn something new in every class.

I have attached the practice worksheets for the first 2 alphabets in the email. You can print multiple copies of this and have them practice nicely. Please also help children with numbers. We will be continuing with numbers and alphabets next week as well.

Senior:
We continued with the alphabets and one sentence.  Please see below.
Every students completed their homework.  I have asked every student to find out how to reply in Hindi when someone asks you -  आपकी उम्र क्या है?  aapkee umr kyaa hai   (How Old are You?)

Hari Om!
