Wow! MashaAlla!

Wow! MashaAllah!
I'm very impressed with SKs ability to decode and analyze text. SKs love story time.

This week we read Elliot Fire Truck. We then discussed:

1. The main character
2. His characteristics
3. How he was feeling and what he wanted

Text to Text Connection:
Elliot wanted to be a firefighter: what does this text remind you of?
Text says: "We cannot all be firefighter" what does this remind you of?

We also discussed the main problem and if the problem was solved?

Social Skills:
We discussed:

1. Cooperation: what is cooperation and how does it help us? We read stories that focused on the topic.
2. Self-Control: when we are angry what should we do? We read stories and poems that discussed the proper way of handling oneself.

Well done SKs

Head lice Prevention

Great way to prevent unwanted head lice!

 SK parent had shared this information with me. I hope it helps  

1. Add drops of Tea Tree Oil to shampoo you normally use.
2. Or add drops to water and put in a spray bottle. Mist hair each morning with this solution. Lice do not like this, so hair is kept free of unwanted guests.

It comes in different sizes and packages. see image for example.

 

Interactive Writing

Yesterday, we practised interactive writing.

The students and I decided on a topic together and shared the pen writing the sentence.  After discussing sometime we decided on 1 topic which was: talking flower. We then discussed how we would begin and end our sentence.

Together we came up with:

One day we saw a beautiful flower and it talk to us.

Guided Reading

Today we pratised guided Reading. Guided Reading allows us to work with small group of  children with similar reading abilities.  Each student had his/her mini booklet which we pactised reading together. We then played Phonetic games.   Today we worked with group 1 and 3. InshaAllah we will work with group 4 and 5 tomorrow.

Muhammad (saw) The Last Prophet HQ

The is a story of the prophet Mohammad (saw) in English. Great move for kids. I would however, skip the battles, for it might be too much for some kids.

How To Love Muhammad (PBUH) - Spoken Word Poem

The above video ties well with our Islamic Study unit: Mercy of the Prophet (saw).  In this unit the children learned the mercy of the prophet (saw) towards children and animals.
