Book Fair

 Insha Allah the book fair is starting tomorrow.
   
Our class is scheduled to go at 1:05pm but I will only be sending the students that are buying books other students will be staying in the class with me.

If your child is not buying any books do send the draw slip as he/she has an opportunity to win $25 worth of books.

Due to technical difficulties I could not print out the weekly homework. 
In the mean time please go to the following website http://www.spellingcity.com/Jaragon/ and practise test #4.

Today all the students read to me the booklet that was assigned for homework #3.  Masha Allah I noticed that most of the students practised as I had asked.

      Keep up the good work.
     With such hard work 
they will be fluent readers at no time at all.

Homework for today

math: page 117

Message from Teacher Salam

اللغة العربية : 15/ ذو الحجة /1433


31/10/2012


السلام عليكم ... عيد مبارك و عساكم من عواده ... مرسلة اليوم مع الطالب نتيجة اختبار القراءة ، الرجاء الاطلاع عليها و توقيعها ، ثم اعادتها غدا ( الخميس ) للمدرسة مع الطالب .


كانت النتيجة لمعظم التلاميذ جيدة و مرضية و الحمد الله ، و هذا بالطبع يعود لمجهوداتكم الكريمة معنا في متابعة الطالب ، جزاكم الله خيرا .... و لكن ما زال عدد قليل من التلاميذ يحتاجون من الاهالي الكرام الى زيادة الجهد في متابعتهم وتدريبهم على القراءة الصحيحة للحروف و المقاطع ، بالاضافة الى ما نقوم به من جهد في المدرسة .


فمن الضروري و المطلوب من التلاميذ الان، في هذه المرحلة (مرحلة التأسيس و التمهيد للقراءة ) معرفة أسماء الحروف ( م – ب – ت – ة – ك ) و لفظهم مع حركات التشكيل الفتحة و الكسرة و الضمة وتنوين الضم ، و ذلك لكي نساعد التلميذ على سهولة، قراءة المفردات والجمل فيما بعد ، و الا سيجد صعوبة كبيرة في القراءة فيما بعد .


 
جزاكم الله خيرا و جعله في ميزان حسناتكم جميعا . المدرسة / سلام

Toonie Tuesday

Asalam Alikum,

Tomorrow will be our first Toonie Tuesday of the year.

If your a new students you may be wondering what is this?  You get to wear your favourite clothes but make sure they are modest and have have no pictures, or drawings words are fine.  Girls still need to wear their Hijab for prayer.
However if you do not wish to wear your uniform you do need to bring a Toonie (two dollars).  The students who are not participating should wear their uniform and do not need to bring in a Toonie.  All the proceeds go to the PST which are then used for the school event.

Masha Allah I would like to thank Omar's and Arwa's parents for fulfilling with some of our class wish list.  We(students and I) really appreciate it.

Homework:

Math:  page 38. 
I encourage you to practise with your child.  Today we used pasta to represent the books and cereal for the snack.  Students still need to practise the concept to fully understand it.

Reading:  Read with your child for 5-10.  Let them try to read on their own but be there for guidance.

Printing:  Masha Allah they have finished printing their alphabet letters.  I will be sending home some certificates for those students who did extraordinary work.
I will continue with printing practises, but we will move on to sentences.  Most of the students did well and I would like them to continue practising.
