Classwork and homework

Alsalamu Alaikum,

Today we had a wonderful day alhamdulilah!

Spelling: Students wrote their spelling quiz and I gave them a bonus where they wrote the word "best" which was one of the word from the word family sheet that was given last week for homework.  I dictated a sentence to the students.


Library: Students went to the library and checked out books. Tr. Nancy gave the students who handed in their first READ WITH ME form another form for week # 2. You may hand in the first week's form no later than Wednesday inshaa Allah.

Gym: We took turns to jump spell words.

Science: We learned more about the sources of energy. Students completed a worksheet where they wrote what source of energy a particular item uses.

Math: Students stated to learn about mirror images.
page 214- home connection:  With your child, look for objects in your home or neighbourhood that have " matching parts" (fern leaf,  butterfly, dandelion, pine cone, or face)
Reminders:
  • Sign your child's spelling quiz.
  • return weekly homework.
  • This week I will be looking at students' behaviour with respect to Collaboration and I will be evaluating their performance.



COLLABORATION:
  •           accepts various roles and an equitable share of work in a group
  •           responds positively to the ideas, opinions, values, and traditions of others
  •           builds healthy peer-to-peer relationships through personal and media-assisted interactions
  •          works with others to resolve conflicts and build consensus to achieve group goals
  •     shares information, resources, and expertise and promotes critical thinking to solve problems and make decisions
