Week 7 Update

Reading week was a lot of fun! We reached our '100 book' goal! The Dress as a Book Character Parade was nice and it was very special to wear a fun costumes to school. Buddy reading was also a success and the children enjoyed reading and being read to by the "big kids".

In Language Arts, we reviewed the last three letters in the alphabet-X, Y, and Z. We practice writing the letters and the sounds they make. We have also been practicing our sight words by reading simple sentences and finding our sight words in all the books we have been reading this week.

In Math, we are continuing to work on place prepositions. The children learned a song to help them learn the words in, on, under, over, in front, and behind. They use their hands to show each position as they sing.

In Science, we are continuing our plant unit and the students learned about the four things plants need to grow. They made mini books showing the four things- water, sunlight, soil, space- and we will use these books next week as we learn more about plants.

We will be celebrating Halloween next week by allowing the children to wear their costumes to school. If their costume is uncomfortable in any way, please send the uniform for them to change into if needed.

Please make sure your child brings his/her blue file and Arabic file to school every day.

Also, many children have been eating all of their packed food before lunch. Please assure that there is plenty of food in your child's lunchbox and that it is healthy food!

Thank you for the extra help at home this week with the reading logs and for preparing the costumes for Dress as a Book Character Day! It was a very fun week at school.  

Happy Eid to all,

Ms. Victoria and Ms. Mariam
