Updates from Tr. Nancy

Dear Parents,

Assalamu Alaikum

You will notice that your child brought home two reading logs. The #4 reading log sheet is for the week of March 10. If you read to your child during that week and wrote it down, you may staple your sheet to the #4 reading log sheet. The#5 reading log sheet is for the week of March 17. Please take note that both sheets need to be returned to me no later than Monday, March 24.

In addition, the grade 1A students checked out a book of the country of their choice for their project. We also quickly looked over the research steps. Next Monday, we will revisit the research steps in depth along with their bibliography.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via email or at school.

Have a wonderful evening, inshaAllah.
