We continued learning the ‘swars’ from the Hindi alphabet, using the link below as the main tool to teach this topic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crJaiBkCj60&feature=related So far, we have covered अ आ इ ई उ ऊ ए ऐ. We will cover the remaining swars ओ औ अं अ: ऋ in the next class.As part of this learning, the children practiced writing these swars 10 times on ruled sheets and also completed the writing exercises in the folder as homework.We also showed them some random Hindi text and asked them to pick out the swars that they recognized. The goal of Level 1 is to have the children know the swars, able to recognize them and try to write them.
In the last class, we enacted the “waking up and going to school” scenario again to revise vocabulary about common verbs.
