Dear Parents,
My apologies again for the delay in updating this. I was away part of last week and wanted to combine these two weeks together!
I have also been sorting through hundreds of pictures I have taken and getting them ready and organized for upload onto the school's Facebook site.
In class, we have been doing a lot of review as we prepare for year end testing and report card writing. More specifically:
Literacy
We have been reading stories as a group and playing a fun game with a "ball" that has questions on it regarding the book. The children love it! Pictures are coming soon! This lets us know if they understood the book, could remember information from it and to re-tell it in their own words. It also helps with children who are shy and do not want to speak in front of the others. This made it more fun for them!
Math
Data Handling" / reading and making graphs has been the focus and I'll upload a picture of a project we did for this. It also included practice with writing, learning new words in English, fine motor skills, taking turns, counting, adding, subtracting, discussing ideas with friends and working together as a team!
Science
We have finished "Living and Non-Living Things" and have moved on to "Electricity" as you may have seen from the homework! :) Since this is "Science Week" we have also been doing little daily science experiments which the children have really enjoyed. (so have we) :) Pictures coming soon for this as well!
Azeri
Testing has begun and our students are doing really well! They are learning about a famous person; one from Azerbaijan and one who is English. More information coming soon.
Humanities
Learning about "Continents and Lakes" has been the topic and they have looked at maps, had group discussions and watched some You Tube videos that helped to explain this through interesting songs!
The students continue to have specialty lessons in music and library. Whenever possible in the schedule, we also include ICT (computers) and art. (again, pictures soon) :)
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Sevda or myself. I'll be finishing the pictures over the weekend that I have taken so far and will let you know when they are available for viewing. I hope you have a great weekend!
Kind Regards,
Sandy & Sevda
