Salaam & Good Afternoon Parents and Students,
Salaam & Good Afternoon Parents and Students,
- Bale Sale is on Friday Feb. 07, 2014- if you would your child to purchase anything at the bake sale -please send money with them!
- Science: we are discovering "weather, seasonal changes, and the environment" - the question was "what kind/type of animals or people live in really cold weather?" We had to come up with 6 "nouns" (a noun is a place, person, or a thing), we came up with Fox, Bear, Eskimo, Walrus, Caribou, Igloo)- we had to print the nouns underneath the picture, but we did not have time to color the picture, please complete at home and send for tomorrow morning- so the sheet is for homework
- Morning Message/Morning Meeting: during our morning meeting I have been choosing some students to read "children s' picture book" to the class- it is a great way to encourage reading-please check under the smiling tap
- Math- we continue to work with Unit 3 -3D objects, and today's assignment was creating your own object and being able to describe the object-using modelling clay and play-dough. Wow, mashallah, one student created the "solar system", he explained/described the 3 D object that he created, I thought this was excellent, he expanded on his thinking and understanding -and used his imagination
- Literacy: we learned "sh" today- mashallah, the class generated over a dose words starting with "sh"- students came up with sheep, shape, shoes shake, shark etc. - I have posted the words below!!!
- Home Reading Books: reading books went home today, please have your child read the book to you and then ask questions about the book. Simple questions, such as, who is the character, where is the story being held, what are the characters taking about? Please return them by tomorrow!!
- Please check under the social studies tap for students example of puzzle piece of Family
- Please look under the "Students Writing" sample- for the current science "noun" writing/noun assignment
Comment & questions from parents that I thought to share with everyone:
Parent:
".........................whole day (students name) was talking about today's morning message. thank you."
Mrs. Hosaini:
I know mashallah, the majority of the students in both of my classes talk about everything that happens in class. Which is great, we encourage the communication between school and home. I receive comments from parents on regular basis that their child discuss the daily activity/messages/ or events that occur in class or at school.
Parent:
"...............just wondering which level of reading I have to look for at the CPL(Calgary Public Library).??
They have different levels that are totally different from the RAZ kids levels??
I appreciate and thank you so much for your effort......"
Mrs. Hosaini:
"That is a great question. Yes your right the Calgary Public Library are different, but you should be looking for beginning readers or emergent readers or easy read, because when my son was Kindergarten I took him to the library and picked "easy reader" books which are about a level A and B. I encourage parents to take their child to the library on a weekly base it is very important!

- today we had an enjoyable day- we had our reading buddies join us from grade 2
- we continued with our phonics workbooks- parents we have very limited KG schedule and when we introduce a letter or a vowel, we basically have 15-20 for tracing and writing, we do not have extra time to complete the workbooks!
- Library time was today as well, Mrs. Hone who is our school librarian read a story to the children, and then students had the opportunity to do independent reading
- dear parents please talk to your children about being "responsible" and "respectful" in class, I have observed that students are not being respectful to their classmate or other students- in addition, I have notice aggressive behavior patterns. Our classroom "environment" is not being respected (the property of our class)- parents will be notified -immediately of the child's behavior.
- a special "thank you to a parents & students" for donating children's books to our class
- Bake Sale is on Friday-remember to bring money!
- thank you to everyone for donating play dough -thank you!!!
- manners and behavior is an very important component in our everyday life and dealings - please talk your child about appropriate behavior and everyday Islamic manners, children need reminders all the time!
- Please take a moment and view our KG monthly newsletter
- Thank you for your cooperation and understanding
