BBNJ Hindi Jr. 04/06/14

Hari Om!

Started the class with opening prayers. Since we finished all the vowels except ऋ , we are now moving onto consonants.

We started with क (ka) and ख (kha) yesterday.
क (ka) - कमल (Kamal) meaning Lotus
ख (kha) - खरगोश (Khargosh) meaning Rabbit.
We also discussed about their colors.

Some of the parents present in the class came up with words which begins with क and ख and the children had to identify the alphabet it starts with. If the word was of a fruit, we discussed their color and taste as well. If the word was of an animal, we discussed only their color.

Towards the end of the class, there was a test on vowels. Looking at their papers, children need more practice at home writing and practicing all those alphabets multiple times.

HW for next two weeks (as the next BV class is only on Apr. 27th):

1.Learn to write your name in Hindi. (Parents: please help your child with this)
2.Practice all the vowels at least 10-15 times each. (I'll check their notebook if they have done that, if not,        they will do the same in class). We cannot move forward if they do not remember the vowels properly.)
3.Practice writing the two new alphabets (Consonants) 5 times each.
4.Revise these two rhymes which they shall be presenting in the assembly sometime in May (TBD).

Lyrics
Naani teri morni ko mor le gaye
baaki jo bacha tha kaale chor le gaye
Nani teri morni ko mor le gaye
baaki jo bacha tha kaale chor le gaye

khaake peekhe mote hoke chor baithe rail me

khaake peekhe mote hoke chor baithe rail me
choron waala dabaa kat ke pahunchaa seedha jail me
Nani teri morni ko mor le gaye
baaki jo bacha tha kaale chor le gaye

un choron ki khoob khabar li mote thaanedaar ne
moron ko bhi khoob nachaaya jungle ki sarkaar ne
un choron ki khoob khabar li mote thaanedaar ne
moron ko bhi khoob nachaaya jungle ki sarkaar ne
Nani teri morni ko mor le gaye
baaki jo bacha tha kaale chor le gaye

achchi naani pyaari naani roosa roosi chhod de
jaldi se ek paisa de de tu kanjoosi chhod de
achchi naani pyaari naani rootha roothi chhod de
jaldi se ek paisa de de tu kanjoosi chhod de
Nani teri morni ko mor le gaye
baaki jo bacha tha kaale chor le gaye
Nani teri morni ko mor le gaye
baaki jo bacha tha kaale chor le gaye



Ended the class with Closing Prayers.

Hari Om!

Last class we focused on learning/revising the 2 rhymes. We are planning to perform this in April (date TBD) during the assembly. The kids really like these rhymes, their faces light up watching it and they love singing along. We learned it with actions.

Please have your child listen to it and repeat the rhymes with actions that was taught to them in class. Ask them to explain the meanings (We have gone over it too)

This week we continued with the conversations started in the previous week with Dinkar uncle.
We added some new vocabulary words to make or skits better.
Next week, the kids will bring their own scenarios to enact and we will work on the sentence structure, grammar and vocabulary.

हरि ॐ, नमस्कार !
Last week, we were supposed to do a review of all the swar. None of our Hindi Sr. friends showed up!

This week we had three students and it was back to the building blocks with at least two of them. Remember, regular attendance, a review of what was taught and diligence with your homework are the keys to success!

This week we did the following vowels all over again along with matras.
We learned how to identify the beginning sound and whether it is a long or short vowel.
अ (A) - अ ना र  Anaar (Pomegranate)  No matra
आ (Aa)  - आ म Aam (Mango)
इ (e) - इ म ली (Imli) - Tamarind. 
ई (ee) - ई ख (eekh) - Sugarcane
उ (u) - उ ल्लू (ulloo) - Owl
ऊ (oo) - ऊ न  (wool or yarn)
ए  (ae) - ए ड़ी (ankle) , ए क (one)
ऐ  (aae) - ऐ न क  (glasses)
Hindi Swar Chart

When the vowels follow a consonant or any of the non-vowel letters they will assume a different shape.  This shape is called a mātrā (मात्रI).Matras for these Swar look like this :












Hindi Vowels




We did a couple of examples of these Matras in conjunction with the vyanjan to see how they look.
We did the first six matras from the following list:
Please review these and review the rest of the vowels before next class.
Agle haftephir milenge.
धन्यवाद!

Hari Om everyone,

Sorry for not keeping up with the posts. Here is the summary from last 3-4 weeks.

We have covered from अ to अः so far. We have not done ऋ yet which we will cover later. Other than that we have done colors, numbers, rhymes etc. in the previous classes.  Last class, we did a word picture on the board. Will send the picture separately in the email.
 
Following is the link to print out the sheets and practice at home.

Hari Om,

Students are encouraged not to succumb to peer pressure but inform one of the teachers in the Teacher's Meeting if they find themselves without a teacher for any reason!

Today we had only 3 friends in class.We discovered that the long cold days of winter had erased some of the progress made in previous sessions and a review was in order. We reviewed what the Alphabet (Varnamala or Aksharmala) is called in Hindi as well as the Hindi names for Vowels (Svar) and Consonants (Vyanjan). 

We reviewed all the svar we have done before - how to write, say and which words begin with that sound.

Students agreed to have a quiz next week on Svar. They are expected to know how to write, read, say and identify the sounds of each of the vowels. No written homework was given because of Superbowl but any practice needed by the students to master the material is their responsibility. 
धन्यवाद!
