The week of 9/13/2010

Asalamu Alaikum and Eid Mubarad to all,

This week we will start our unit in Language Arts about adventure, the first selection we are reading is called "Cliff Hanger". In Math, we are learning about the different uses of numbers for example, numbers are used for measuring, counting, position, and labeling. We have also started our Michigan studies curriculum, we learned the names of the five great lakes (Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan, Lake Superior and Lake Erie). We also learned that the states of Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin border our state.  In writing we are using the six plus one writing traits in our class and this week we will be learning about the writing trait, organization. In Science we will start our unit on living things and this Wednesday we will do an experiment using yeast, sugar and water. Students will use the Scientific process to determine whether yeast is alive or not. I have 2 prep times in a row from 10:30-12:05, so if there are any questions or concerns parents can make an appointment during that time. I am also available after school. We are off to a great start and your children are a pleasure to have in class.

Sister Maha
