As-salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allah Wa Barakatuhu
Dear Parents,
Here are our classroom updates:
Language Arts

Reading: We re-read the book “Time to Sleep” and
talked about places where different animals hibernate. Then, we made a T-chart as
a class and took turns discussing about the animals who hibernate and animals
who don’t. On Friday, we role-played the “Time to Sleep” book. Students played
the role of animals in the book and pretended to hibernate. It was a very
enjoyable activity so we decided to perform the play again next week, Insha-Allah.
Writing: We wrote a writing response for the question: If I was an animal, where would I want to hibernate in winter? Great work! SK2.
Oral Communication: One of the
expectations for students in oral communication is to present their show &
tell using proper presentation skills (tone, volume & eye contact). In Sk2,
we have already started our Allah’s Creation-Living things diorama show and
tell presentations. Students are doing a great job showing and presenting the
habitat of their living things, Masha-Allah.
Literacy Tips:
·
Read
for 20 minutes with your child everyday.
·
Practice
finding two letter and three letter words with your child while reading at
home.
·
Go
to starfalls.com and reading bears to enhance your child’s
reading skills.
Math
Math tips:
- Use play dough to roll out two
‘snakes' of different lengths. Talk about one snake being ‘shorter' and
the other ‘longer.'
- Play board games like Chutes
& Ladders, Sorry!, Dominoes, etc. as they promote the development of
counting skills, understandings of patterns, and numeral recognition.
In Science, we reviewed our winter theme and then
made a craft of a bear hibernating in a cave.
In Visual Arts, we are working on
our snow globe using q-tip painting.
Islamic Studies
We read a
story on Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H). We also read a story ”Hamza Learns Wudu” on
Wudu (Ablution) and reviewed the steps of wudu
by singing a wudu poem called “This is the way we make wudu.”
International day;
Thanks for sending the yummy food
from your country of origin. We had a great time eating and socializing with
our friends, Alhumdulilah!
Jazakumullahu-khaira for your
co-operation and support!
