SK1 updates (Nov.18 - Nov.29)

Assalam Alikum Dear Parents,

 Language Arts:

  In phonics, we started our third book of Jolly phonics. This book cover the following letters: g,o,u,l,f and b. Alhamdullelah, we covered the following letters g,o,u and b.

 We are learning how to blend simple three letter words e.g. sun, dog, rat, bus, set, sit, top, and, fat, hat, lit, fit, leg, cat, cut and man.

We are also learning that when two letters next to each other make the same sound, the sound is said only once e.g. hill is / h-i-ll/ not /h-i-l-l

This is also applies to other doubled consonants in words such as rabbit, carrot, dress and kitten.

In addition we are practicing daily some sight words to help the students start reading soon inshaAllah.

 

Anti- Bullying week:

SK1 had the chance to listen to different stories about bullying. They learned how to be bucket filler and not to be a bucket dipper. They also learned what to do in case someone is bullying them! Please ask your child about what they learned at school!

We also watched an educational DVD about bullying.

 

 

Math:

We are learning how to write numbers in words.  Alhamdullelah, we covered the following numbers:

One, two, three, four, five and six.

One- only one Allah
