Last Week's Update!


Assalamu Alaikum,

We are working hard in 2B and had a wonderful week, Alhamdulillah!

Spelling: On Monday, students wrote their spelling quiz on lesson 17 (words ending with LE) and then we completed lesson 18 where we reviewed spelling rules from lessons 13-17.

Reading:  On Wednesday, sister Madlein came and she read an interesting book called "Silent Music" a story of Baghdad to our class. After the read aloud, students answered comprehension questions about the book.
                                    
Guided Reading:On Thursday, we had our guided reading session. Tr. Hajer, the reading coordinator came and took one group with her to the library for reading intervention. While I worked with one reading group, the rest of the students read in their reading groups on assigned tasks.

Writing: Since at Abraar school, this month's character trait is about Honesty, we read a chapter called "I am Muslim, I am Honest," from our Islamic Studies textbook. First, we took turns sharing how we can be honest. Then, each student made a flap book and wrote down how can they show honesty "AT SCHOOL," "AT HOME," and "TO OTHERS." They all did a great job!
  





Media Literacy:On Tuesday, students learned what media is and what media literacy is all about.They learned about the 3 different types of media and completed a booklet about media literacy where they answered the purpose behind each media.

Math: MEASUREMENT FUN

Last week we learned about perimeter and how to measure the perimeter of different shapes (2D and 3D) through lots of different fun, hands-on activities. Students also did a penny click activity in the gym where they had to flick a penny to measure the distance the penny can go. They had a lot of fun, Alhamdulliah! 



Students also spent some time reviewing measurement through games during math centre time.

Science:  We learned about metamorphosis, and with this we finished our unit on "Growth and Changes in Animals." Students took their science folders home to study for the unit test.

Islamic Studies: We are learning " SEERAH." Seerah is the study of the life of our beloved Prophet.Mohammad (SAW).

Health:Students wrote a pop quiz on healthy eating.

Art:In Art, students made "Perimeter Pets."
