- We started using the honesty sticker sheets.
- The students are starting to produce a sentence or two during their show and tell presentations!
- "بيتي" handmade booklets were colored and sent home.
- Pyjama Day was a great fun. The students had the chance to play games in the classroom, listen to the story " استيقظي يا سارة" (One of Robert Munsch's translated to Arabic story book) while they were sleeping on their pillows on the carpet, they shared the yummy treats the parents brought, and played finding the sleepy bear game in the gym while the lights were off.
- We learned the new letter ز (زعتر، زيت، زيتون،زرافة، زهرة، زين، زيد) . This letter was a special one as we introduced the students to زيت، زعتر and زيتون (Olive Oil, Zaatar (Thyme), and organic Green Olives). Most of the students loved the taste of the olive oil with the zaatar and green olives. This can be a good snack/lunch for your little one!
- The students also traced the letter on their booklets that were sent home.
