Dear Parents, 

Assalamu Alaikum

Your child will be researching an animal very soon. For this reason, Teacher Jessica and I will be collaborating for this. I will be teaching grade 1B students three easy research steps that will help them in their animal discovery. In addition, I will be showing them how to cite their book.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact by email or telephone.

Have a wonderful evening, inshaAllah.

- As I had told the students that for every spelling test that 80% of the class gets a perfect score I will add a fish to the aquarium.  I did buy the aquarium this weekend Alhamdulillah but I do need your help please.  I still need to buy several things such as gravel a filter and most important the fish :). I wanted to know if you can either purchase a gift card to Pet Value or send a donation.  I will have the jar label spelling test fund jar. In which I will keep the donation for it.

I usually give the students something to eat from the "snack box" but the supplies I started with are now done.  I would I appreciate it if you can send non perishable snack for the class such as granola bars, gold fish crackers, individual cereal boxes and drinks etc...

- I soon let you know of other items the class needs Insha Allah.
