We are starting to build our own city in the classroom to explore different local environments and buildings.

We have started by making trees.

Please send to school small empty boxes that you are not using, paper towel roles, kleenex boxes, cereal boxes etc. 
We will use these materials to build buildings of different sizes and shapes in sha' Allah. 

Jazakom Allah khayran.

Math- Measurment

Measurement

We have been exploring with different materials to measure objects and ourselves.

Students have used tape and straws to measure each other in the classroom. 
They also traced their shoes and measured the length of their shoes using a measuring tape.

Please allow your child to use different objects to measure things at home. These objects may include straws, blocks, spoons, etc.
We are continuing to explore measurement by using rulers and meter sticks.

Homework sheets: students are using numbers (block size) to measure. Use the same block ruler on the sheets to measure different objects at home such as an eraser, a cd case, a pencil, etc.

We have completed Jolly Phonics book 3! 
We are moving on to Jolly Phonics book 4.
We will be covering sounds "ai, j, oa, ie, ee, or"

Please read and review simple words such as,

-car          -hat          -flag          -bus          -big
-man        -kick        -it              -ball          -have
-pain        -and          -ten           -tell

You can also work on other words with your child. 

Students are very excited to read and are eager to learn more words. Sounding out words is very important when you read to your child. Show them how you sound out each letter in a word.
Jazakom Allah khayran for all your effort!
