Report
Due
date: January 7th 2013
You should thoroughly answer these questions:
1. What is the name of the book? Who is the author? How many pages are in the book? These questions should be answered in one or two complete sentences. You don't need to rewrite the question; simply number the answer.
2. What kind of book is it? Fiction? Non-fiction? Biography? This is a couple of sentences long. Say what makes it "fiction" or "non-fiction".
3. How many days did it take you to read this book? This is about one sentence.
4. Who are the top three or four characters? Tell me about them. Why are they important? List them and say a little about each one. This could be about a half a page to over a page long.
5. Tell me what the book is about. Summarize the plot . Use your own words and ideas to describe the story. If the book is a collection of short stories, pick the three best and explain their plots. If the book is not fiction, explain the main idea and the supporting details or arguments. If it is organized historically, give a list of the important events in the text. This could run from one and a half page to several pages. Don't make it too long or too short; you don't need to explain every little detail in the plot).
6. Now give me some analysis of the book. Answer these questions in full detail.
Tell me why you liked or did not like about the book?
Was it too hard or easy to understand? Was the vocabulary too hard?
Would you recommend it to a friend. Did you see a movie or video of the book?
Was the story something you could relate to or was it not connected to your real life

A note from Tr. Salam
السلام عليكم :
اتتهينا من جميع أنشطة الحج و العيد، أعاد
الله علينا جميعا هذه الايام الكريمة بالخير و البركات ، و انتهينا أيضا من وحدة التعاون ، حيث تعلم الطالب من خلالها
العديد من المهارات و المفردات والتراكيب اللغوية ، كما تعلم مدى أهمية التعاون في
حياتنا ، و أن ديننا الحنيف يحث على ذلك .
نحن حريصون دائما على اشراك الطالب في العملية التعليمية ، و حثه على
"البحث و الربط و الاكتشاف و الاستنتاج " بنفسه ، مع توفير المناخ
النفسي و الاجتماعي و التعليمي المشجع له
، و لم يعد دور الطالب متلقيا فقط .. و في اطار ذلك فقد كلف التلميذ بعمل بحث
يرتبط بوحدة التعاون ، فالرجاء متابعته في ذلك . و جزاكم الله خيرا

UPDATE:
Assalam-Alaikum Parents,
Here is a quick update on what is happening this week in our class:
1) Swimming tomorrow- Please do not forget to send the essentials with the students (swim wear, towel, etc.)
2) Habitat Presentation- We have worked long and hard on this project and it is finally coming to an end. The kids researched, gathered information, and created a bristal board to show their findings. Presentations will be happening this Wednesday and they will be marked with the rubric that will be sent home today
3) Physical Region Assignment- The students worked approximately 2 weeks to create a handout about a physical region they researched on. They will present their handout to the class on Thursday.
4) Math test- The Data Management math test will be this Thursday. It will cover everything we learned in chapter 3.
5) Writing test- This term we have been focusing on 5 paragraph essays. Many of the projects given in language arts circulated around that idea. On Wednesday, the students will be given a topic and they will have to write 5 paragraphs (introduction, 3 body paragraphs, and conclusion) based on that topic. They're writing should include variety of descriptive words, proper sentence structure and format.
If you have any questions please dont hesitate to email me. JazakAllah-Khairan!

Assalamu-Alaikum Parents,
The Grade 4 class is beginning a new unit in Social Studies on the physical regions of Canada. In this unit, the students will learn about the location of each of the 7 physical regions as well as the important characteristics that define each physical region (physical traits, climate, natural resources, and exchanges with other regions). This unit will be integrated very closely with the use of computers; therefore, the students may require assistance at home to complete some of their tasks. I am also asking for parent volunteers to come in and help out during this unit. Whether you have experience with computers or not, we would love to have you helping out in our class, or just coming by to see the great work we are doing. We will be going to the computer lab this Wednesday October 10th from 2:05 pm to 2:45pm and Thursday October 11th from 1:05 pm to 1:45 pm InshAllah. If you are interested in coming into our class, please notify me though an email. Hope to see you soon! JazakAllah-Khairan.
