We had a great week last week Alhamdulilah!
Writing:Students learned about "How To" writing and which is also called procedural writing. Then, they wrote two informative writing pieces about how to get ready for recess during winter and how to do addition with regrouping.
Math: We have been learning addition and subtraction with regrouping. They learned different ways to add and subtract 2 digit numbers using base ten blocks, the decomposing method and the traditional method(vertical way) Students worked in groups to add and subtract with regrouping, and they solved word problems in their math journals and textbook. They also learned the 4 steps to problem solving.
Math Workshop: We had an amazing math workshop about coins, place value, fractions, and clocks. Students learned and reviewed these concepts through different fun and hands on activities. They had a blast ! Also, Jazakum Allahu Khairun for all parents who came to help out , Alhumdulilah!
Science: We did 3 fun learning experiments about liquids and solids as a class. First, we did an experiment called " Liquid Race" where students observed how some liquids are thick and some are thin. We had a race between oil, maple syrup, mustard and ketchup and then recorded our findings. Then we learned what happen when we mix different liquids with water and recorded our results in a worksheet. We learned what a mixture and a solution is. Lastly, students observed an experiment where they learned what happened when we mix different solids( Salt, sugar, sand, powder milk, parsley flakes, and mustard) in a liquid ( water). We learned that salt and sugar when mixed with water make a solution while the other solids that didn't mix are mixtures.
Islamic Studies: We completed the unit of Seerah by learning about Prophet Mohamed (SAW) and his love for children.
Social Studies: We reviewed cardinal directions and completed a worksheet where we labelled and drew things in the king's castle by following the cardinal directions.
Art:On Friday, we did two art activities as art centers. In the first one, students made an ice cream sundae craft where they added the value of their ice cream scoops and extra toppings for their sundae ice cream and then made a yummy sundae craft. In the second one , students started to make a colourful butterfly mural.
Class Dojo Party: We enjoyed yummy snacks in our class dojo party. Students also participated in a competition called" Balancing an Apple on Top" where they had to walk from one end to another while balancing an apple on top of their head.:) They had a fabulous time, Alhumdulilah!
