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.

What have we been learning 3A?
Your spelling test words for this week are very simple, but more important is that you can pronounce them properly. I hope that you will spend time at home repeating these words and their sounds... They are the building blocks for speaking English.
Students are having some difficuly rememebering the parts of speech. The parts of speech make up each sentence that we write and speak, so it is vital that students can identify it. I have been giving students exercises to ensure they can recognize each part, and I will continue to do so. To refresh...
Noun- A noun is an object, a place or a person. A NOUN IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN HIT!
eg Miss fatimah, house, garden, Nablus, jacket, Dead Sea etc.
Verb- A verb is a doing or action word. It tells what a person or animal or thing does. eg swim, eat, play, sing, skip, talk, laugh etc.
Pronoun- A pronoun is a word that can take the place of a noun.
eg I, you, he, she , it, they , we , us, them, your, me etc.
Adjective- An adjective is a word that tells us more about a noun. It can tell how something looks, tastes, feels, sounds, or . eg funny, blue, loud, strong, sweet, shiny etc
Eg Our fast cat ran to the garden.
Our is the pronoun.
Fast is the adjcetive.
Ran is the verb.
Garden is the noun.
We have begun learning about adverbs today, which is slightly more difficult then the other parts of speech we have learned
ADVERBS- They modify or tell us about a VERB or an ADJECTIVE. We use adverbs to tell us WHEN, HOW or WHERE an action (verb) takes place.
To make an adverb, we add ly to an adjective, NOTE: NOT ALL ADVERBS HAVE LY.
eg We never play in the rain.
Never is the adverb and it tells us WHEN we play in the rain.
eg The boy quickly runs to the store.
Quickly is the adverb and it tells us HOW the boy the runs.
eg The children play inside the house.
Inside is the adverb and it tells us WHERE the children play.
The homework today is a little challenging but it is important that you try to do it. Do not leave it blank and wait for me to give you the answers because then you won't learn anything :(
