Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allah Wa
Barakatuhu
Dear Parents,
Here are some updates
from our class:
Language Arts: In Phonics, we learned the vowel sounds ” O” and “U”.
In order to learn how
to make secondary colours from primary colours in Art class, we began our week
by reading different books about Colours .The books we read were “A Little
Blue and A little yellow” ,”The Carrot Seed”, “I Eat Rainbow”, “Pete the
Cat.” I Love My White Shoes,” (the most popular among SK2) and the poem, “Rainbow Hair.” SK2 really enjoyed
these books and did a great job doing
story sequencing, choral reading, and text to self activities, Masha-Allah.
Literacy Tips:
- Read for 20 minutes with your child everyday.
- Please go to http://www.starfall.com/ at home to do some
extra practice for the sounds we already covered in class.
- 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 are learning how to write numbers
in words and reviewing how to do tallies in our Math class. We completed how to
write number 6 and 7 in words. We also read a poem ”One, Two Buckle My Shoe” to
recognize number words in reading.
Math tips:
- Have your child skip count by 10’s out loud.
- Have your child distribute cookies or some healthy snack to family members, with each person getting an equal amount.
Science: In Science, we did a cool experiment about colours . It was an explosion of colour! Some very exciting visuals happened when we mixed a little amount of milk, drops of different food coloring, and liquid soap. Students were amazed and exited to see the burst of secondary colors in white milk.
Visual Arts: First we read a poem “The Rainbow Hair “ and then
we made our rainbow hair by using the seven colours of the rainbow. Also we
coloured coffee filters with markers and later sprayed them with water. The children's eyes lit up as they
saw colour move across coffee filters and sprayed with water. They were
surprised to know what other colours they can make!!
Way to go Sk2! To celebrate this excellent teamwork, we made rainbow krispies treats that
also go along perfectly with our learning activities about secondary colours. Sk2
loved to eat the rainbow krispies and were eager to eat more!!!
Islamic Studies: Sk2 have memorized the monthly dua for the month of November, Masha-Allah.
I am very proud of their enthusiasm and dedication on learning new duas. Starting from last
Monday, we have been practicing a new nasheed "Give Thanks to Allah"
