As-salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allah Wa Barakatuhu
Dear Parents,
Here are some updates:
Language Arts:
Phonics: In phonics, we have finished
Jolly phonics workbook 7, Alhumdulilah. This was the last workbook in the Jolly
Phonics series. We learned the following digraphs: qu, ou, oi, ue, er, and ar.
Please check the link below for further practice at home:
Reading:
We read fun books based on our “Pajama Day “ theme.
Literacy Tips:
- Read for 20 minutes with
your child everyday.
- Please help your child to read
the book from their reading bag daily.
- Go to starfalls.com and readingbears.org to
enhance your child’s reading skills.
Math: Subtraction in Action:
We
continued to learn subtraction with hands
on activities.
We sang
the song “Five little monkeys jumping on a bed” and then played musical chairs
to reinforce and practice subtraction.
We sang the song “Five Speckled Frogs.” Then, we used
a pond mat and frog cut-outs to model the problem. Finally, we coloured and
pasted our frogs on our own booklet and made a subtraction problem.
We also did an activity to practice
subtraction using gold fish crackers. Sk2 had a blast eating goldfishes and
solving subtraction problems at the same time!
Math tips:
·
Have
your child draw pictures on a calendar to record each day’s weather. At the end
of the month, make a picture graph showing how many sunny days, rainy days, and
cloudy days were there in that month.
·
Have
your children manipulate objects to figure out basic concepts in Math. For
addition, they could add one, two, or more blocks to a pile of blocks and then
tell you how many blocks are in the pile.
·
Play
board games like Chutes & Ladders, Sorry!, Dominoes, etc. as they promote
the development of counting skills, understandings of patterns, and numeral
recognition.
Science:
We started
to learn about Farm animals.
Islamic Studies: We made
a dua craft about the dua “Before and After Sleeping” and practiced praying
Jumma Prayer in class.
Arts: We coloured funky pajamas on pajama day!
Pajama Day Fun:
On Friday, we celebrated the end of
kindergarten nap time with “Pajama Day.” We hid in tents to read story books using our flash
lights. As well, we also had a yummy breakfast of cereal and a croissant filled hot dogs. We also played lots of fun games and SK2 had a blast! Later in
the afternoon, we ate popcorn and watched a movie!
Jazakumullahu-khaira for your co-operation and support!
