learning Hindi

One more week for Diya’s school to reopen after summer vacation. All those lessons she gobbled up in her UKG level lay buried under two months of play. To add to that, she is going to a regular ICSE school for grade 1 from Montessori which means she has to learn Hindi.

I taught her Hindi alphabets by promising all her favourite things on her birthday. Now, she wants a ‘smiley’ sticker on the page she finished. No doubt, a ‘smiley’ has to be earned. Seeing me critically looking at the alphabets for mistakes, she snatched the book and ran to her table to correct something.
