New 4th grade

The 4th grade has been restructured and has been divided into 3 classes.
From this week I have been begun teaching what is known as "4B".
I have kept a few of my former students; namely Tareq, Adam, Sadeen, Qamar, Ibrahim, and Nour. I have also gained some new students from what was the old 4B, and these students are; Islam, Zaina, Zakariya, Ahmed Hejawi, Miqdam, Maria, Ahmed Qureish.
Welcome to my class and I hope you enjoy the time here. If you behave you will be rewarded and you will enjoy the class, but if you are bad in class, you will be punished. I do not accept students not doing their homework!!!!

Your spelling words for the week are high frequency words that you use often, and you have all promised to get full score. I hope you keep that promise.
We have been doing a lot of review this week so I could test the level the students are at, and what they have and have not learned.

We have started the new 2.1 books and the first story we are reading is "Iris and Walter". Its is about a young girl who moves to the country, but does not have any friends so is lonely and does not like it. But she meets a boy called Walter and they play all day and even though she misses the city, she begins to love and appreciate the country.

Students have been confused by the word COUNTRY.
There are two definitions:
1. An area of land with its own people and government. Eg. South Africa, Palestine, Jordan.
2. Land which is away from towns and cities. Country in this instance is the opposite of a city. Eg. Jenin

We are using the second definition in this story.

  2. Hi Tahany,

    Mona is a very dedicated student, and I understand that she might need more help but might be shy/afraid to let me know in class.

    Please tell Mona, and I will inform her too, that if she is not sure about anything that we are doing in class, that during the breaks she should come to me, and I will give her extra time to explain and help her.

    Sincerely,
    Miss Fatimah
