UPDATE *

Assalaam-Alaikum Parents
       Here is an update of what we will be learning in the coming week!



Language Arts: We have started Media Literacy in L.A and we will continue to deconstruct ads, products, commercials, and the media. Students have created their own product where they used the concepts we learned to try and sell the product to the class. I will be uploading pictures soon!


Math: We have started Chapter 5 Measurement and Time! It will take us 1 week or so to complete the chapter. We are doing a variety of hands on projects in class to help understand the concepts.


Science: We have started a new unit called Light and Sound and our first lab experiment was a success! We will be doing many lab experiments in this unit and if you would like to come and join us you are more than welcome to =) I will be posting when we will be doing the labs a day or two before the experiment.


Social Science: Students are acting as travel agents to create a travel brochure on a province they are assigned. We will be going to the computer lab and library next week to start our research.


Islamic Studies: We began reading about Prophet Muhammed (S.W.S) journey from Mecca to Medina. We will continue this chapter the coming few weeks.


If you have any questions, the best way to reach me is through email. JazakAllah-Khairan =)

BULLYING WEEK

This week's main focus was on Bullying at Abraar School and the students have created a bulletin board to portray Anti-Bullying. Here is a look at our bulletin board =)

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

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!
