Wednesday April 24, 2013

          Wednesday, we are celebrating Egypt Day. We will do fun Egypt related activities. Your student can come dressed out of uniform if they are dressed in Egypt clothing. This means they can wear traditional Egyptian clothes, like a Galabaya or they can dress in Egypt's colors.

      We will also have a dish party in class. Please send traditional Egyptian dishes such as fuul, tameyya, koshary, etc. The Arabic staff sent home a note about this as well. Please only send enough food for our class. Keep in mind that most everyone will send a dish so there will be a lot of food for the students to share. We don't want to have too much extra food that may go to waste.Thank you for all of your help and cooperation to make our Egypt Day a success!

Field Trip - April 22nd

Field Trip - April 22nd

Yesterday the field trip permission slip forms were sent home. Next Monday, April 22, we are going to Plein Air. The cost is 65 LE. The permission slip and fee needs to be returned to school by this Wednesday, April 17. After this date money will not be excepted.  We will be doing different activities, including painting and planting so we may get dirty. Therefore students need to wear the school uniform, but please send a shirt that you don't mind if they get paint or dirt on.

Thank you for your cooperation

Water- send 1 small bottle

Water- send 1 small bottle

It is starting to get hot out!  Please remember to send EXTRA water to school each day for your child!  There are many times that children do not have any water to drink for the whole day, or they have finished their water from P.E. and the tap water is not safe for drinking.

You may send 3 LE for your child to keep in their backpack in case they do run out of water.

Please send 1 small, sealed bottle of water (Dasani, Nestle etc) by Thursday that I can keep in the classroom in case your child drinks all of their water or does not have any for the day. 

Thank you for your help!

Amazing Class! 

It was great to see some families at the Carnival yesterday!  It was a fun day and nice and warm!
Before I get started, I just want to say how amazed and proud I am of the Grade 2B children.  They have become a really lovely little group who enjoy each other, and most of the time work hard to be friends.  But most of all, I am amazed at the English the children have learned.  I know that they are excited about speaking now, as we have started having a morning chat- we talk about anything- being sick, spring break, our weekends, things that the children have seen and heard or anything they want to talk about or ask about!  They now have the skills and vocabulary to be able to ask questions and participate in a discussion, as well as to be able to listen.  I am just so incredibly proud of them!  And they are very proud of themselves!  Please be sure to tell your child that you are proud too! We have each created a learning goal to achieve before the end of the year. We have posted our goals outside our class room door. Some children want to improve in reading, and some children made some goals regarding their writing.  Each student picked there own goal. We have agreed the the whole class will work hard and reach all there goals. Parents please encourage them.
