On behalf of Tr.Nancy,

Dear Parents,

Assalamu Alaikum

This past Scholastic Book Fair was a huge success, Alhamdulillah!

I would like to offer a big heartfelt thank you to all the parents, students and teachers for their tremendous generosity.

The library made in net sales $3059.04. The total cash commission that stays in the library was for an amount of $917.71.  As a result, we've purchased new library material that will benefit each and every student in their quest for learning.

Field Trip

                                               AlSalamo Alikom Dear Parents

                                                                             Field Trip Notice

On Friday December 21, 2012, Grade 6 will  have an indoor field trip that will be held in the school gym.  We have invited the Gloucester School of Pottery to come into Abraar School to work with the kids creating their own pottery. There will be no extra charges as the cost will be deducted from activity fees that you have paid in the beginning of the year. They will be exploring different material through sculpturing.  

                                                          A little about the pottery school

The Gloucester Pottery School was founded in 1991. They are an incorporated not-for-profit organization with a volunteer Board of Directors.

They have grown from a very small entity operating out of a basement studio in the Cyrville Community Centre. Over the years they have expanded into the whole of CCC’s basement.

Their fully equipped teaching studio has 19 electric potter’s wheels, 4 electric kilns, a Bailey Gas Kiln purchased in 2011, a pugmill, slab roller, wall extruder, spray booth, and state-of-the-art cleaning facilities. The studio is also available for practice on a membership basis.

They offer over 80 pottery courses a year (some in French) for adults and teens from Level 1 through to Professional Wheel-throwing including (off wheel) Handbuilding classes. Their courses run on a semester basis starting each September, February, April and July and are taught by nine experienced instructors.

 

                                                                           Sincerely

                                                                            Tr. Rania

French updates

 

Assalam Alaikum Dear Parents:

In French, through our story *Chat Angora*, we are working on building fluency in oral communication and reading. We have daily kinesthetic vocabulary review using gestures as stated in Aim Language curriculum. We focus particularly on the use of verbs. These help students to acquire and / or to enhance the oral use of French language in their daily life.

We have also almost daily reading. We focus on the correct French pronunciation and on the expression.

We are of course working on our writing; so far we did many activities (related to the story) that combine reading and writing:

1.       Choisis le bon mot: The sentence is written with a space and a word bank is provided. Students read the sentence and fill up the blank with the correct word from the bank.

2.       Les mots en ordre: Students have to put the words in order to form a sentence and write it.

3.       Les phrases coupées: Students match 2 parts of a sentence and write the complete sentence.

4.       Les mots qui riment: Students match the rhyming words provided. After that, they look for the rhyming words in the story.

5.       Les questions totales: In this activity the complete answer is in the question, students cross out all the extra vocabulary and the question mark. They write the answer using capitalization and the period at the end of the sentence.

6.       The plural of the verbs : il/elle  fait, ils/elles font; il /elle va, ils/elles  vont;

7.       The contraction : la  école ----˃ l’école

8.       Double verbs  construction

9.       The opposites

All the activities are modeled in class several times before any homework is assigned.

In any communication, oral or written, students are expected to use complete sentences. They are also required to speak only in French during French class.

For French tests, students have spelling words, an activity we have worked on and a grammar question. For the evaluation, the activity and the grammar have more weight than the spelling.

The purpose of the spelling is to help students to become familiar with the French orthography in order to prepare them for the creative writing activity we are having at the end of the unit.

If you have any question you can contact me by calling the school or by email.

Jazakum Allah Kheiran for your cooperation

Dear Abraar Parents and Gaurdians,

            

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahamtu Allah Wa Barakatuhu

Yesterday we started “Stand Up (to Bullying)” week to raise our students awareness  about:

•             the types of bullying;

•             how to stop the bullies;

•             how to help the bullied.

Abraar Teachers will work with the students, Monday to Thursday, to explain all issues about bullying through role plays, slogans, variety of storytelling and other art activities.

Our students are reminded of the importance of creating and maintaining caring and safe environment at Abraar School.

I encourage our valuable parents and guardians to read the information about bullying,  that I started  to post on the school blog yesterday and I will continue till the end of this  week,  to help their children at home.We need to work all of us inshaAllah towards having  Abraar School as a safe and caring school.

Jazakum Allah Khairan for your cooperation.

Best Regards
