As-salamu-Alaikum,
We had a wonderful week Alhahumdulilah!
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!
Writing: Students made a respect flip book showing how to show respect to others, at school, at home, and to the earth.
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.
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!
