End of October Update

as salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

In shaa Allah you all enjoyed your Eid holidays and are looking forward to everything ahead. I wanted to update you all on what 3B is working on before reports in November.

Math - The students have been working hard on multiplying using arrays, skip counting and other techniques.
We are also starting some learning about shapes to help with our upcoming "City Project"

Language - The children have been working on grammar rules for plural nouns. We are also learning about alphabetical order in Language and Library to help the children be more confident using dictionaries for their work.

Social Studies - 3B are moving forward from their urban and rural community learning with the start of a cross-curricular "City Project". For this project the students will be using learning from the other subjects (e.g. Math, Social Studies, Language, etc.) to design and plan their own city model.

Islamic Studies - The students are starting November off learning about cleanliness and purity and how these relate to their ibadah. We will also learn about Jummah/ daily prayers.


NOTE: I will be emailing some parents shortly if there are any concerns with your child, their homework, or behaviour before the reports are sent out.

We have been learning to...

as salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu / Greetings,

As Eid draws near and we continue through these blessed days, I wanted to send a quick update to you all to share some of the topics we have been working on in the class so far this year.

In Language, we have done some work on chapter summaries and book reports. We have been enjoying a few chapter books as a class as well. Most recently, the students have been enjoying reading Abby Klein’s “the Penguin Problem”. We have started our weekly spelling word lists. Spelling tests will continue to be written in class every Friday in shaa Allah. I am also starting weekly grammar work.

In Mathematics, we have reviewed several topics including: adding and subtracting 2/3 digit numbers, mathematical/geometric patterns, place value concepts, and are currently working on various mental and written techniques used with multiplication.

The following websites have various activities and quizzes for the students to practice their multiplication:

www.mathisfun.com/timestable.html

www.teachingtables.co.uk

In Science, we have been learning about plants and soil. We have worked on improving scientific vocabulary, and developed understanding to prepare ourselves for our future experiments.

In Islamic Studies, we have most recently learning about Hajj and Eid al-Adha.

In Social Studies, we have been learning about differences and similarities between urban and rural communities.

I will do my best to share more frequent updates in shaa Allah. Eid Mubarak!

-Tr. Mohammad
