Dear Parents,
As-salamu ‘Alaykum,
I, Mrs. Fatima, your child’s class teacher this year, would like to take this opportunity to share reading and homework expectations for this year.
Grade 2 Home Reading Program:
Reading is the key to success and it is very important that students read at home every day. Please encourage your child to read at home every day at least 15 minutes and record that on home reading log. Reading books will not be provided from class. However, as soon as school library is open for class visits students will be allowed to borrow books from school library according to library procedure. You are encouraged to use Public Libraries around your area.
Students will read at least one book every night. Children should be reading for at least 15 minutes each night. I ask that you participate in this reading experience with your child. Your role will be to go through the book with your child using the reading/comprehension strategies that I have listed.

As a final product of this unit, each student is required to construct a boat. The boat could be built with some parental support at home. We are calling this boat “Noah’s ark”, blending with our Islamic Studies curriculum. Some of the guiding questions for the watercraft: How long will it float? Will it be able to carry the weight of couple marbles? When choosing materials what are some of the things I will consider? Is it a waterproof/non-porous material? Some of the materials which could be used: Craft/household/kitchen supplies such as plasticine, lego, toothpicks, clay, paper (for sails if required), Popsicle sticks, tin foil, corks, small bits of wood, small Styrofoam trays, tacks, elastic bands, etc. The due date for this project is December 09, 2019 .

Thank you in advance for your support and cooperation. September 03, 2019Assalamu 'Alaikum Parents,
Hope you had a great summer. I am glad to have your child in my classroom. To make the coming school year a success I need your support and cooperation. A detail letter was sent home. Please read it carefully and cooperate accordingly. InshaAllah we will have a great year ahead. Blessings, Mrs. Fatima Here are some highlights- Indoor and outdoor shoes: Every students are required to bring 2 pairs of shoes- 1 pair for outdoor and 1 pair for indoor. Since all students should have the opportunity to access the full range of school activities, including physical activities in gym, please chose indoor shoes that are suitable and safe for gym and physical activities. Without appropriate shoes students may not be allowed to participate in gym activities for safety reason. Shoe laces: It is highly recommended that student’s learn to tie shoe laces by themselves. Incase of students having difficulty to learn this skill, please chose shoes without shoelaces. Water bottles: Every student is required to bring his/her own water bottle. The water bottles might be left at school for the whole week and be taken home for cleaning on every Friday. 2018-19We are proud of our students for their awesome performance on CBC -
