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.
