 हरी ओम!

ओपन हाउस को आने के लिया आप सुब का बहुत धन्यवाद !

We enjoyed meeting each and every one of you and your ideas and suggestions are always welcome. Both Priya and I will strive hard to live up to your expectations, but since we have children ranging from 6th thru 9th grades both Hindi and non-Hindi speaking students our lessons will be adjusted based on how children understand the various aspects of grammer / prose / poetry lessons.

This week we covered how the possessive pronouns should agree with the gender of the thing they are possessing.  The following phrases were given to the children to construct sentences with as homework:

मेरा घर (Ghar here is masculine),  मेरी किताब (kitab is feminine),   उसके आलू (his potatoes),
तुम्हारी बहन (your sister), हमारे समोसे (our samose), आपका बेटा (your son), उसके केले (his bananas),  उसकी साड़ी (her saree),  & मेरी चीज़े ( my things)

Please make sure the sentences are meaningful.

For सर्वनाम the grammatical pattern of Hindi is similar to that of English.  Most important to remember is during sentence construction the following will appear together in most cases:

मैं .....  हूँ (AM)
वह ..... है (IS)
तुम .... हो (ARE)

हम ..... हैं (ARE)
आप ..... हैं (ARE)
वे ..... हैं (ARE)

Children made sentences using the above in class.

Optional HW:  Please write 5 sentences on how you celebrated Diwali.
आपने दिवाली कैसे मनाई? ( ५ वाक्य लिखिए )

There is no Bal Vihar / Hindi class next week.  Will see you all on 11/1/2014.

 आप सबको दिवाली की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं !

Hari Om!

With Pujya Gurudev's grace we covered promouns (सर्वनाम) in first person singular (मैं), first person plural ( हम), second person plural (तुम,  आप), third person singular (यह, वह) and third person plural forms (वे, ये).

Children created sentences with these pronouns in class.

We reviewed ekvachan and bahuvachan for words ending in अ, आ और ई.

Dictation was given on the difficult words from the chapter baagh

Here are a few questions that the children are expected to answer for the next class as homework.

१.  बाघ बंगाल का बादशाह क्यों कहलाता है ?
२.  भारत का राष्ट्रीय पशु  क्या है ?
 ३.  बाघ चालक पशु क्यों कहलाता है ?
 ४. बाघ का भोजन क्या होता है ?

Please review pronouns as well.  We will be building on it.

Thank you.

Hari Om Parents!

The students were tested on their understanding of ekvachan and bahuvachan.  Students have made mistakes.  Please have them review this again and again.  I will proceed with pronouns in singular and plural and have them work on sentences next.

The chapter on Bagh (Tiger) was covered.  They have to read the chapter and learn the spellings of difficult words.  Preferably know the meanings of difficult words and use them in sentences.

Sorry for the delay in updating.  I moved last Monday and things have been in disarray.

Appreciate u giving the opportunity to teach your children.

Thanks and regards,

Manisha / Priya
