Assalamu Alaikum
Alhamdulillah
these past few days we have been very busy learning and practicing the things
we have learned.
In Gym class we
divided our class into 6 teams, we are learning to listen to one- and two-step instructions. We worked on different types of movement
including: walking backwards, walking like a bear on all fours, and shuffling
sideways. We also played a nice game of
pizza, and ant tag!
In math class we worked on counting, and using one-on-one correspondence. We have practiced correctly forming our
numbers up until the number 6. We are
practicing our counting by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s.
In language we worked
on sounding out simple words such as: sat, sit, nap, nip, pan, pin. These are some of the many words that you can
make with the first seven letters from the Jolly Phonics curriculum. The Jolly Phonics curriculum is a language
tool that focuses on teaching the letters and sounds in non-alphabetical
order. The reason the letters are taught
in a specific order is so that the children are able to form words as soon as
they are finished learning the 6 letters in the first book.

In Islamic studies
we learned the Five Pillars of Islam through the song “One, one only one”. Ask your child to sing you the song, with the
actions! Insha’Allah tomorrow we will be having our Friday Islamic Studies
circle and prayer time where we will be focusing on the monthly theme of RESPECT.
In science we
talked about the properties of different materials such as plastic, metal, wood, glass, ice etc. We compared the
properties of: wooden blocks, and sponges.
We did a science experiment that involved pouring water over sponges,
and blocks to see what would happen. The
students were able to predict the outcome, and we discussed our findings
together.
GOOD NEWS:
Alhamdulillah we have a new play structure in our play yard! The students are
really enjoying going up the climbers, and down the slides.
*Please remember
to send a hijab/prayer rug with your child tomorrow.
