SK2 Weekly Updates - Nov 11 - Nov 14

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allah Wa Barakatuhu

Dear Parents,

Here are updates from our class.

Language Arts: In Phonics, we have finished "Jolly Phonics book 2" by learning the sounds of the letters "M" and "D," Alhamdo-lillah. We learned how to sound out these letters, things that begin with these letters, and how to trace the letters in correct formation. We also played Bingo to practice sight words. Please go to http://www.starfall.com/ to do some extra practice at home. Also, you can play "I spy with my little eye" something that starts with ---- and say the sound of a letter (for e.g; ta..ta..ta..for letter T).

Math: We reviewed how to create and extend the "ABC" pattern. Then, the students made their own ABC pattern necklaces with coloured straws. The SK2 students had lots of fun with this hands-on activity. Here is the amazing and creative work by SK2. I am so proud of them, Alhamdo-lilliah.

Science: In Science, we practiced a fun song about solids, liquids, and gases with actions. SK2 loves to sing-along together. We also made a mini booklet for the three states of matter by cutting and pasting pictures in the correct category.

Visual Arts: No class due to "Professional Development Day" on Friday.

Islamic Studies: We practiced the nasheed "The Five Pillars Of Islam". We also read and discussed a book called "The First Man" which is a story about Prophet Adam. The students really liked the story and were very attentive throughout the read aloud, Masha-Allah.

Jazakumullahu-khaira for your co-operation and support!
