Show &Tell

What is Show and Tell?
Show &Tell is a well-liked activity in kindergarten. Your child will bring an object from home and tell the class about the object. Your child is encouraged to say at least three things about the object.

Why Show and Tell?
This activity will help the children’s social skills, oral and visual communication skills, focus and attention span and it will be a good practice for an upcoming project insha’Allah!

When is my child's Show and Tell day?
Each child will have one day in the week every week for Show & Tell and that will be his/her day until the end of the school year (e.g. Fatima's Show and Tell day is every Friday).

How do I help my child?
Remind your child to get the show and tell item ready the evening before. If it's OK with your child, get him/her to do the Show and Tell for you as practise.

What does my child need to bring for Show and Tell?
Toys are very popular. Your child can also bring in special items such as his/her baby clothes, family/special trip pictures, cultural items, sport equipment(skates, martial arts belt/outfit.... basically, anything that will get your child to talk enthusiastically!

Popular Class Song

This is a song the children enjoy singing in class. Ask you child to sing it to you.

Allah is so Great

Allah is so great, so strong and so mighty there’s nothing that he cannot do. 

The mountains are His; 
the rivers are His,
 the stars He created too.

Allah is so great, so strong and so mighty there’s nothing that He cannot do, FOR YOU!

class updates

In reading and writing,
  • Literacy is introduced in class through many different ways: we read books, tell oral or felt stories, play games, sing songs… and much more.
  • We learned the letters A, B and C in both upper and lower cases. More emphasis is placed on the sound of the letters. This is done through the aid of signs and hand movements.
  • We are working on soft motor skill development. The children play with play dough, lace beads or play with manipulative to increase their hand and eye coordination and hand dexterity.
  • We are learning to cut on straight lines.

In Quran
 Tr. Sahar is teaching the class surat Al-Fatiha and Al Qaida An-Noraniya.
You can help your child by playing the surah for him/her to listen to at home.

In Islamic Studies
We are having discussions in class about “Allah the Creator” and saying “Assalamu Alaikum”

In Math
We are learning to orally count from 1-10.
We started patterning in our daily calendar.

Gym
We are focusing on activities that use large muscles such as running skipping etc, and following directions.
We played many games in the gym but Mr. Wolf seems to be the most popular by all the children.

Star of The week
Rahma, Layla and Adem are the most recent stars of the week.  Congratulations stars!!
