Theme: في المزرعة Farm
Animals
قال تعالى"أولم يروا أنا خلقنا لهم مما عملت أيدينا أنعاما فهم لها
مالكون"71 سورة يس
Do they not see that
We have created for them of what Our Hands
have created, the cattle, so that
they are their owners.
Arabic Language اللغة العربية:
- We started talking about farm animals and the life
cycle of the chick. Tr. Hiat, Jazaha Allahu Khyran, purchased us the fertilized
eggs. Students placed them in the incubator and they observing them everyday. They
can not wait for them to hatch!
- We have been singing the farm song in Arabic في المزرعة. Please check the link below for the song:
- The “At Home” book was sent on Friday.
- We are done learning the letter ق
(قرش، قطة، قطار، قلب، قرد) I was amazing with the amout of words
students came up with that start with the letter ق.
Right after we learned the letter students started coming up to me saying:” ق ق قدمان، ق ق قطعة، ق ق قارب، ق ق قِف”. Others came saying:
“فاروق has
the letterق in it, لينا
قطان has ق in it, مقصhas ق in it…etc.” Alhamdulillah,
I am really pleased with the students academic achievement in the Arabic Language.
- Students are getting more freedom in doing their work. They are free to choose the spot and position they desire. Some sit on the floor, some on the chairs, others on the carpet...etc. It makes them enjoy doing work!
- We had fun with the Abraar Day Care visit. Students moving
to JK on September came to visit our classroom to experience what to expect in
JK.
- Reading Buddies is a program where students from another
grade visit another grade and read them a book. Usually it is an older grade
reading to a younger one. This year Tr. Sahar and I were thinking of making it
in Arabic. Tr. Sahar brought the Grade 3s and they read to our students story books
in Arabic. It was really beneficial for both grades, Alhamdulilah.
- Show and Tell: Jazakum Allahu Khyran Maham and Tsnim for a great Show and Tell.

for all the parents who put the effort in making us all look environment
friendly.

We discussed the 3 Rs and
how to take care of our planet.
-
Students participated in
painting their FEET around the big picture of planet earth. We Also asked them
to print their feet on a construction paper for you to keep as a memory. It
will be great if you can frame the picture!
