Fw: Word list

[swathi sreenivas]

Hello everyone, Just got a chance to go through the word lists on the spreadsheet..  I have a few questions..   1. List2 is parts of  the face, List 3 is parts of the body,  List 5 is animals, List 7 is colors, List 8 is fruits, List 9 is numbers, List 10 is vegetables, List 11 is weather, List 12 is birds.   We already have flash cards for colors and fruits; We can work on others here as well. What level classes will be using these word lists? We can start collecting pictures and then think of various ways they can be used in fun activities for the kids in class.     2. Lists 1, 4, 6, 13, 14 and 15 seem to be random words.. . How were they compiled?  Are there specific lesson plans / stories that will be told in class that will have these words? A little more detail on these word lists will be helpful.    Swathi     --- On Mon, 9/5/11, Neelam <2012...@gmail.com> wrote: From: Neelam <2012...@gmail.com> Subject: Word list To: "Swathi Sreenivasan" <swathis...@yahoo.com>, "Latika Dixit" <ssd...@gmail.com>, "Aparna Nanda" <aparna...@hotmail.com>, "Vaishali Tripathy" <vais...@insight.rr.com>, "Gurukul Creative" <guruk...@googlegroups.com> Date: Monday, September 5, 2011, 10:23 PM Hello, Hope you are enjoying this really nice and cool weather!

Dear Swathiji,

 

The flash cards that you created for Action words and Opposites are excellent and appropriate for the Gurukul students. There are a few corrections that need to be made and I can e-mail them to you tomorrow.

 

As you work on the other list items, let me know if there is any way I can be of help to you.

 

 

Neelamji and Shivaniji,

 

During the last Gurukul session, I created flash cards for Hindi numbers and Matra words and used them in my class. Seemaji had also created Animal flash cards that were reviewed and finalized. We did not have an opportunity to get the material to other teachers. This would be a good time to get all available material ready and distribute to the teachers so that they can create lesson plans around this material.

 

The Hindi number flash cards are attached. 

 

Regards,

 

Latika

Latikaji, Thanks so much for  offering to review ActionWords and Opposites. Let me know what correction need to be made and I'll revise the documents as needed.   I am attaching Colors and Fruits here.. Could you or Shivaniji review these as well?   Thanks Swathi         --- On Wed, 9/7/11, Latika Dixit <ssd...@gmail.com> wrote:

Swathiji,

 

Here are my comments regarding the Action words and opposite words Flash cards.

 

Action Words:

1. "सोचना" should be "To Think" since "सोच" is same as "Think". do you think it will be more appropriate to add "To" before the action words. Examples - To eat, to drink, to dance....

2. The English word for सोचना is "To Think" instead of "Imagine". The Hindi meaning of Imagine is "कल्पना"

3. The English meaning of बुलाना is "To invite" instead of "Call". The Hindi meaning of Call is "पुकारना"      

4. भजाना should be बजाना 

5. चलाना has been used twice for "To Ride" & "To Drive". You may want to pull these cards together in the deck.

6. सीखना means "To Learn" as you have rightly used. However in your example, you use "To Study". I suggest to use a different example using " to learn" instead of "to study"  

Opposite Words

 

1. Opposite of "खाली" is "भरा"

2. Opposite of "कोमल" is "कठोर" 

3. Opposite of "बायाँ" is "दायाँ" 

4. Opposite of "शांत" (means Quiet) cannot be "जोर" (Means Force). Maybe "शोर" (Means Noisy) 

5. "रुखना" should be "रुकना"

6. Opposite of "खड़ा" should be "बैठा"

7. Opposite of "सीधा" should be "टेड़ा" (English is "Teda")

 

Shivaniji and Aparnaji,

 

Please provide any additional comments you may have from your review to Swathiji.

 

Regards,

 

Latika.

Latikaji,

Thanks for taking the time to review the documents.. I'll update them and resend to the group soon. 

Can you also send me the matra words material that you said you have? I can get those printed and laminated along with the rest of the cards. 

Also, do you think you can ask (call or email) Seemaji to email us her work on animal flash cards as a PDF file? Since you said in your earlier email that work was finalized and reviewed and ready to go, I'd prefer not to work on those yet again.. 

Thanks so much!

Swathi
