Class Updates and Reminders!

Dear Parents
As-salamu-Alaikum,

Spelling:  Students wrote a quiz for lesson 25 (letter "r" with vowels) and then marked each other's spelling quizzes. Students completed  activities for lesson 26 (adding endings in the base words).

Contraction Surgery:On Tuesday, the 2Bs did a little surgery! :)

Each of them got masks and surgical gloves to be like surgeons for the day. Then, they  went with their scalpels {scissors} cutting apart words and bandaging new words {contractions} together.  The students were SO excited  and had a blast!

Autobiography in-class Project: Starting from Tuesday inshaaAllah, students will be working on their cereal box autobiographies in the class. They will be writing about them and displaying their info on a cereal box in a creative way! After the completion of the project, there will be a gallery walk where students will read and explore some fun and interesting facts about each other.

Math: Last week, we investigated which 3-D shape can be rolled, stacked or can do both and discussed why some rolled or stacked and some didn't.

We also made 3D skeletons using clay and toothpicks and learned that in the skeleton of 3-D shapes we can count vertices and edges but there is no face. They completed some activities in their math books.

On Wednesday, we learned how to measure capacity(an amount a container holds) and mass of different 3-D objects using  different  non- standard units of measurement.

Islamic Studies:Students did their Seerah Quiz part 2.

Social Studies: We started a new unit called" Communities and Traditions around the World". We learned what a community is and the different types of communities (mining, fishery, grassland etc) around us. 

Math/Art Centres: Students had a great time exploring 3-D shapes through different activities.

Measuring Mass:Students selected different objects from the class to measure how many linking cubes that object weighs on the balance scale.

                                              
Play Dough Fun:Students made different 3-D shapes by using play dough.

3-D shape Pencil Holder:Students painted different 3-D shaped recycled boxes, and then once the paint had dried, they had a fabulous time by making 3-D shape pencil holders that they can use and be proud of! They all did a super job, MashaAllah!

Design a Robot Challenge:We accomplished the challenge, Alhumdulilah!

Please check out the amazing work by our 2B mathematicians below:

Reminders: 

• Spelling test on lesson 26 will be on Monday.(words with r)
• No Homework pack this week! Practice for the spelling bee and science test.
• Spelling Bee # 3 will be  on April 21st, inshaaAllah! The students are doing a great job, so to make it more challenging, the competition will be from column 4 and 5 of the spelling bee words!
• Science test "Properties of Matter" will be on Tuesday!
• Autobiography info sheet sent home last Thursday. Please send a big and empty cereal box for the in-class project by Wednesday!

Jazakum Allahu Khairun!

Have a Great Weekend!

Reading: Sr. Madlein read us "Sugar Cookies", a book that teaches vocabulary associated with love.

Here are the vocabulary words from the book: 

selfless, considerate, compassionate, expensive love, true love, cherish, connect, unrequited, unconditional, supportive, admire, bliss, constructive

We completed a vocabulary worksheet as a class where students read sentences and described them using these vocabulary words.

                                               

Math: Last week, students did 2 cooperative learning activities on 2-D shapes. On Monday, students described attributes of 2-D shapes by making riddles in their groups. On Tuesday, students did an activity to find the area of some cookie dough (we used playdough) by using cookie cutters of different shapes. The task was to find how many cookies can cover the area of the cookie dough. Students also completed exit slips and a pop quiz on describing attributes of  2-D shapes and area of different shapes.
                                        

  

3-D Shapes Fun: From Wednesday,we started to learn about  3-D shapes. Last week,our learning goals for 3-D shapes were to identify and describe the attributes of 3-D shapes. We learned that there are 3 parts of  a 3-D shape (Face, Edge, Vertex/vertices). We also learned that like 2-D shapes, 3-D shapes are all around us(At home, at school, at the grocery stores).

On Thursday,the students worked in groups to trace the faces of the 3D shapes to discover the 2D shapes in them. 
                               

On Friday, we learned about 3-D nets. Students cut out the paper  nets of a cube and a pyramid and pasted in their math journals. Then they labelled  each 3-D net and wrote its edges and vertices.
                                                 

Computer Lab: Students sorted 3-D shapes in a Venn diagram according to their attributes (cube, rectangular prism, no. of edges, no. of vertices etc.) For more practice at home please follow the link below:

http://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/115/sorting_3d_shapes_on_a_venn_diagram

Science: We experimented things that absorb water and things that repel water. We also made lava lamps!
                             

Islamic Studies: Tr. Dina, the Islamic Studies coordinator, joined us, and students worked in groups to put the story of Prophet Nuh (SAW) in the right sequence. We discussed some of the lessons we learned form the story, and students made a craft of the ark of Prophet Nuh (SAW).

Math/Art Centres: Students had a great time learning about  3-D shapes through different activities.

3-D shapes Drawing:Students practiced and learned how to draw different 3-D shapes.
                                              
Play Dough Fun:Students made different 3-D shapes by using play dough.

Build a Structure:Students built different structures using different 3-d       shaped cardboard items. They also built structures using 3-D blocks.

Design a Robot Challenge :Students are working on building a robot out of 3-D nets. First they had to write a plan (what type of 3-D shapes they will be using for their robot) on a worksheet. After the planning stage they started to make their robots using different  paper nets of 3-D shapes. They are doing a great job, MashaAllah!
                                              

Qura'n Class: Tr. Ibtissam threw the class a party! They had popcorn and treats from her. I joined them and also treated students by serving ice cream for their hard work!


Reminders: 

• Spelling test on lesson 25 will be on Monday.(words with r)
• Homework pack is due on Thursday.
• Spelling Bee # 3 will be  on April 21st, inshaaAllah! The students are doing a great job, so to make it more challenging the competition will be from column 4 and 5 of the spelling bee words!
• Seerah Quiz part 2 will be on Tuesday!
• It is spring, but it is still cold these days. Please send a jacket and mittens with your child to school and make sure he/she is dressed warm.
• Students were assigned an assignment on Prodigy about 3-D shapes.

 

Jazakum Allahu Khairun!

Have a Great Weekend!
