Great News!
We are going to start using an Arabic Reading Website to help the students read Arabic at home (A version of RAZ kids in Arabic). I will be sending the password to every student this week, Insha'Allah.

Activities to do at home:
Fill a container with water and let your child choose some items around the house and test if they are sinking or floating. You can watch the video below for further clarification:
