SK1 Weekly Updates: (Oct.20- Oct.24)

As-salamu-alaikum wa Rahmatullah Dear Parents,I hope and pray that all of you are doing well. We had a wonderful week alhamdulilah!

Language Art/phonics:

We are still working in our first book of Jolly phonics. Alhamdullelah we covered the following letters: s,a,t, and i. 

Please ask your children about them and watch as they make the sounds and the actions. This year we are putting a lot of emphasis on the proper writing method of the letters in lower-case and capital form. We are also discovering the sounds that these letters make as they appear in the start, middle, or end of different words.

Please check the link below for further practice at home:

SK1 Weekly Updates: (Oct.14-Oct. 17)

As-salamu-alaikum wa Rahmatullah Dear Parents,I hope and pray that all of you are doing well. We had a wonderful week alhamdulilah!

 Language Art/phonics:
Al hamdullelh, we started our first phonic book and we had lots of fun learning the sounds of the following letters S and A. Please ask your children about them and watch as they make the sounds and the actions. This year we are putting a lot of emphasis on the proper writing method of the letters in lower-case and capital form. We are also discovering the sounds that these letters make as they appear in the start, middle, or end of different words. 
The Jolly phonics system has been a proven success, and is being used in many educational institutions nationally, and internationally. Please visit http://www.jollylearning.co.uk/.


Useful website:  www.starfall.com for sound and letter recognition.

Reading:
I read the following stories:

Manners at the playground.
An Apple A Day







Writing:

SK1 wrote in their journals the following sentence:

I see a red apple.






Social Skills:
SK1 are working really hard to learn more about manners. They are learning to make good choices. We introduced (good choices )versus( poor choices) during our circle time. Each student was provided with a reward card. The reward card for good choices has the numbers from (1-20). Each time the student perform a good choice the teacher will circle one number. When the student has all 20 numbers circled they will get to choose something from the treasure box. This inshaAllah will help the students to remember using good manners.

Updates from Tr. Salam

Arabic
Assalamoalaikum

Last month we studied the letters ( أ – ب - ت ) ,the name of harakat (fatah, kasra , and dama) and how to read the letters studied with them; this has been accomplished though a number of activities, such as songs, games, stories and competitions. The children have found these activities to be exciting and fun.

Tr.Salam Beseiso

Updates from Tr. Hoda


             SK1 &2 Quran Class          


Masha'Allah SK students are memorizing and applying Tajweed rules on Surat: Al Fateehaa, Annaass, Alfalaq, and Alekhlasss. They learned " Nasheed Ahkaam Al-Tajweed" with the sign for each rule, so they can easily remember the Tajweed rules applied.
Each student is motivated to memorize Quran and apply Tajweed rules and pronounce the Arabic letters properly, they are collecting " star in the Jar" for each good work the perform.

Jazakum Allahu khairan for your help at home, please keep on encouraging your children to memorize Quran.
