Wish List

Parent Volunteer

- To read a chapter story to our class. (a few pages to a chapter a day)
^ 2. Homework Correction: 30-45 minutes (9:35-10:20, Friday)
- Homework needs to be checked.
3. Physical Education Coach (2:25-3:10, Monday & Tuesday)
- Parent(s) are needed to help provide physical education exercises. Our first sport is volleyball. 6 boys, 4 girls. (I prefer to choose a sport in which all the children can participate in PE simultaneously without having anyone bump heads. eg. Basketball)

Donations

1. Story books on every level
- Two options: set of children books at a yard sale or books in your home that your child is bored of. Our 4th grade class includes students who are on many levels so I need 1st grade level books up to 6th grade.
2. Academic supplies (From teacher supply stores for our centers)
- Social Studies - a globe
- Math - place value material (thousand blocks, hundred, tens and ones), flashcards, games
- Science - self contained experiments, a class pet
- English - flashcards, board games
3. Furniture
- Mini-table(s) (4th grade classroom has a designated space for a Science Center, a Math Center, an Art Center, a Writing Center, a Readers Center and a Social Studies Center. However I would like to provide the children with a Technology Center with an available computer just for the students. I need a table for the Readers center, and Technology Center for now)
- Computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse

Eid Mubarak!!!!

EID MUBARAK!

I hope you have a wonderful Eid. Eat alot and enjoy with your family and friends Inshallah!
We have a few days remaining in Ramadhan. Praying on the Laila-tul-qadr is better than praying 1000 months. So with that in mind, try your best to take advantage.

Just a reminder:
* You are on Eid break starting from tomorrow 10/10/07. School will resume on Monday, 10/15/07 from 7:45-3:30 p.m. Eid gift exchange will also be held on Monday, 10/15/07.

* NO HOMEWORK for the Eid break

New Note for the weekend of 10/5/07 (Eid Decorations)

Friday after your child was dismissed the staff had a meeting from 2-3. The principle asked for teachers to have their children decorate their own classrooms. Since we have two days of school before Eid, I would like to set a time for 1:35 to 2:15 on Monday October 18 just for that. Sister Entesar asked the teachers to sit back and let the students do the work so it would look personalized.
If it is possible for you to send some decorating items with your child, it will be of great help. It could be anything to hang from the walls. (Please limit your items as our classroom is pretty limited. Thank you)
