Parent teacher night


 
I had a wonderful night.
Thank you for sitting with me and worked together to improve your child and the class.


I did not assign any specific homework, aside for finishing the weekly homework and study for the spelling test.

Math: made a 3D cube as well as drew other shapes.  Your child might want to make other 3D shapes and share them with the class on Monday.

Writting: we described 3D shapes you can have them write something on the shapes they made as well.

Islamic Studies: practice the tashahud with your child we have been saying it together as a class and some of the students already know it masha Allah.  I will be testing them all very soon.

I want to start a new little project for you and your child.  I will be sending two cups home and it will be their "bucket" to fill at home.  I want them to practice and know that good deeds have to continue outside of school.  Every time they do something good for you, any other family member or stranger I want you to reward them by filling their bucket. examples: listening, following direction, helping being polite etc.

Insha Allah I will send more detail with the children on Monday.

Science: have your child collect any seed as they eat their fruit. we are collecting them and display them in the class.

 Health: We are still focusing on the four food groups.  Look through food fliers with your child and ask them what food group that item belongs to.

Don't forget to practice the quran.

If you are interested in purchasing a swimming cap they are available at Sport Check for $9.99 + tax.  If you wish I can purchase it for you and have it for the following swimming class.


Last but not least have a wonderful weekend.

I.S: page 12- 13

Spelling: please sign spelling test. 

If your child has either word to correct or printing errors make sure that they do it.  I want them to know that it is important to put to practice what they learn. 

They spend a lot of time at the beginning of the year practicing their printing.  Please let's be consistent and we will get great results.

 

Science: You might have heard that we had an interesting science class instead of Art.

 

We made a wormery for the class.   We watched a short video on how to make it and we put it together as a class.   I decided to have this in the class for several reasons.

 
1.  We see the life cycle of the worm.
2.  We learn more about their habitat and see how they make channels.
3.  We learn how they work together as a society.
4. We learn how worms compost and see the process.
5.  We will be using the food scraps we do not eat such as banana peels, apple cord and so on.
5.  We get a chance to use the compost in our plants.
 
At the moment our seed are germinating.
 
We have a variety of seed germinating and the students look at them daily and are very interested as the changes happen day to day.  They inform each other and observe the specimens together.   It is great to see them discussing the changes they see and compare.
