Dekho!


Today we learned a whole lot of action words like Suno, Dekho, Bolo, Lekho, Utho, Betho, Bakro, Ghol Guma, Pio, and Kao. We were also singing a song to learn the parts of the face. We reviewed colors and numbers using fish that were all different colors. We also made a gingerbread man and used colored lentils to decorate it. We also practiced singing the Aaye Diwali song so that we can sing it really well for the parents on Friday.

Cricket




Today we played cricket in the gym because it is an indian sport, which is awesome. It is similar to baseball. We cooked pooris and "pooris acha hai" we liked them. "Mango juice and bheel puri acha hai" but it was spicy. We learned about family in class today. "Pita" means dad and "maa" means mom. Today was a fun day!
