हरी ओम!

We covered the rules for determining the लिंग of both living and non living things.  For living things the लिंग (gender) is determined based on the type of person being addressed.  For non living things (निर्जीव) the rules have been given to the children in their books.  Please have them review the same.  We did an excercise in class to guage the understanding of the children.  Please have them review these rules in class so that we can proceed.

There will be a midterm test on 12/13.  The test will cover pronouns, ekvachan and bahuvachan,  लिंग, the chapters on baagh and bhalu.

The homework for this week is as follows:

क्या होता अगर:

१)  भालू शेर के बच्चे को न पकड़ता?
२)  शेर का बच्चा नौ दो ग्यारह नहीं होता?
and

३)  भालू ने क्यों कहा - ओह किस आफत में आ फसा?

Optional:  Please write 5 sentences on:
मैं ने थैंक्सगिविंग की चुटियैं कैसे मनाई?

For the break please write 20 new hindi words you learnt on flash cards with their meanings.  This is due in January 2015.  After the winter break.

Have a great thanksgiving holiday.  There is no Bala Vihar or Hindi class next week.  See you all on 12/7/2014.

Best regards,

We covered लिंग and for non living things how is the gender determined.  The children wrote down rules for the same.

Some words are gender nuetral like doctor, prime minister, president etc.

For homework the children have to write the feminine gender for the following words:

पंडित, माली, धोबी, पड़ोसी, सेठ, नौकर

For the following सर्वनाम please write the feminine form:

 उनका, उसका, इनका, इसका, हमारा, मेरा 

From the chapter on Sri Lanka please write the लिंग for the संज्ञा words in the chapter.

Please revise the rules for determining the gender of non living things in Hindi.

Thanks,

हरि ओम!

We had a brief fill in the blanks with the given सर्वनाम.  There were 8 sentences given and 9 words.  This is to help them understand सर्वनाम better.
Please have them review सर्वनाम again.
We had them review the chapter on Sri Lanka and the meanings of all the tough words were given in class.  For next week's homework the children are expected to write 5 sentences on India on the same lines.  They are to cover the following:

1)  The capital of India.
2)  The current Prime Minister & President of India.
3)  The main export product from India.
4)  The population of India.
5)  Major religions in India.

The homework will be collected and corrected.  Homework is given to be completed.

We also covered लिंग meaning to say when referring to a male person the लिंग is masculine and when referring to a lady it should be feminine.  We will cover more rules on that in the next class.
