Dear parents, (3 A & 3 B )
Today:
Language : homophones
( Game :matching pairs of homophones & handout ) Reading : We
learnt a text entitled “What’s for Dinner?”? Written by Derek
Antel and illustrated by Andrew Tong. We did predictions from the
title-illustrations-headings. Then, students confirmed or revised their
predictions after reading aloud the parts of the story. We also described the
characteristics of the main character and connected his experience with the students’
one. Social Studies: We learnt about
how pioneers used to preserve and store food. Then we compared this with modern
times.

Reminders
A spelling test next Friday on irregular plurals-2 sentences containing words from the spelling weekly lists
from week 6 to week 11- capitalization-plurals with ys & ies. Dramatic Performance:
Insha’Allah next week, you will be receiving invitations to the play that will
be held in the gym. I need your cooperation to encourage your child to memorize
and rehearse his/her role. More precision about the exact date, timing and
things I need for the decoration/accessories will come next week Insha’Allah. The summative project is almost ready. It assesses your child’s reading
fluency, reading comprehension and writing. Your child will
hand you a letter next Thursday explaining the detailed outline and the
requirements of this End-of Term project. In brief, the project is a booklet containing
an eight-page story (A story of bravery) .Your child should read a part of it
(fluency). Then, he/she should answer the comprehension questions. After, your
child should write a composition about a
fictional pioneer character who was brave enough to make a better life in Upper
Canada. The writing should follow the process of writing
(web- first draft- revision and editing – The final draft). This project will
take about 3 or 4 weeks to be done.
Finally
,based upon my on-going
assessment of the fable (presentation+ writing ) and my
daily assessment of reading fluency , I expect that your child is
willing to do his/her best in the next project Insha’Allah. I really thank
him/her for his/her efforts and above all for your precious cooperation to
achieve your child’s potential.
Jazakoum Allah Khayran
