A note from T. Nancy

Dear Parents/ Guardian,

Assalamu Alaikum

 

Reading to your child or having your child read to you has tremendous benefits such as spending quality time together, increasing your child’s vocabulary, introducing him/her to the wonderful world of books… the benefits are too numerous to name them all here.

Math:   home connection page 6

Spelling: test tomorrow.

Reading:  Please let me know if you are interested in joining the MS read-a-thon.
I would like all the students to start reading at least 10 minutes a day.  I will be giving them a reading log this week.

Science: We are about to begin a new science unit called “Energy in Our Lives.” During this unit, the
students will be observing and investigating the forms of energy that they come in contact with in
their daily lives. They will be discussing the sun’s importance in sustaining all life. Food as a
source of energy for functioning in daily activities is also a focal point.

For the culminating activity, students will conduct an investigation of energy use at school to identify

an area where energy could be saved. Posters will be designed and displayed in an attempt to

influence a change in energy consumption. Data will be collected and graphed before and after the

posters have been displayed.

 

Thank you so much for your interest in our new unit!

 

 Weekly homework is due tomorrow.

Field trip

We had a field trip to the public library today. 

 I apologise for not reminding you as I myself had forgotten.  

We listen to a couple of stories and each student had a chance to look through  book of individual interest. 

 Overall they had a great time and it was a nice surprise as well. 

 However they did not had a chance to check out books since students did not had their library cards.

 

Insha Allah our next up coming field trip to the library is on March 19th so mark your calenders.
