வாரம் 5: வீட்டுப்பாடம்

Dear Parents,

  By now all the students have received their books, if not please collect it next week. This will help us to run the class the class in a better way so that the kids can relate and revise at home too. We are sure your kids are going to have fun learning Tamil. By end of this academic year our goal is to teach the kids uyir ezhuthukal, some mei ezhuthukal, numbers in Tamil and more. More than everything else, kids need to understand why they need to learn tamil. Not just because we all like it but that is our identity.
So far we have completed the first 6 uyir ezhuthukal in the class.

We have learnt the song Nila Nila Odi va, learnt about உறவினர்கள் and about வீட்டு விலங்குகள். ( Pet Animals) names and the sounds.
Most of the kids have submitted the Project- My Family. Please ensure your child submits the project by this Saturday if its not done.

In the Hand writing book please finish the pages 1,2,3,4,5 & 6.
In the exercise book please complete Exercise 1, 2, 3, & 4.
Please review the lessons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,9 & 10.

We have been reviewing all the previous lessons and letters every week since some students didn't have the books. However doing it at home makes a lot of difference to the kids.

Humble request from us :-
       1. Complete the homework every week.
       2. Talk in Tamil at home, even if kids don't talk (I know, not easy for some of us!)

 We will send homework reminder but you can follow the syllabus to complete the homework. Please do not wait for the email reminder to complete the homework.

Suggestions and questions are welcome. Lets make learning Tamil more interesting and fun for the kids. 
Thank you for your precious time and bringing the kids on time. Our apologies for the late email. Will try to send it sooner from next week onwards.

Please Note: Send in a small water bottle and ask the kids to use the restroom before they come to the classroom. This way the kids don't miss the class and lose continuity.
