Children SEE
Children DO Make your influence POSITIVE Assalamu Álaikum,
Dear Parents/ Guardian, Research shows that student, teacher and parent work in a triangle relationship for a student’s learning process. As a result parent’s involvement is absolutely critical for a child’s success in school. Also, being involved in your child’s education means making sure that he or she is doing the best to achieve proficiency or higher across the subject grades. Parents and teachers need to come together as a team to ensure that every child is progressing and reaching his/her highest academic and social potential. This team work requires positive communication. Here are the options for communication and receiving updates of your child’s education in grade 4: Blog: Our class maintains a rich site (http://mskfatima.weebly.com/) for students and parents. Please visit the site on a regular basis. All agendas are posted on the Agenda page of the blog. Please make sure that your child is handing in all required HWs on time as mentioned in agenda. Agenda Book: Please check the agenda book and sign if there is any note. Engrade: An engrade account has been set for each student. To activate the account please go to - https://www.engrade.com/user/logout.php?new=1 Enter Username and Password provided to the student and set new password. Engrade will allow you to keep track of your child's classwork, home work and test grades. You might see E and M grades besides our regular grades. Here what they mean- E = Excused, does not affect grade M = Missing, counts as zero The assignments/home works without any name will be shown as M (missing) on engrade. Email: Please email me if you have any concern and comment that could not be found in blog or Engrade. Phone: Phone is the least preferred mode of communication during class time as it interrupts normal class activities which is very crucial. Please try other means unless emergency. I look forward to enjoying your active and positive participation throughout this school year. Regards, Ms. K. Fatima 4D Homeroom teacher CIS, AJ Campus. Approval and Appreciation |
A book highly recommended
VolunteeringFor every field trip we organize for grade 4 usually needs 3-4 parent volunteers per class. If we don't receive enough response from parents ahead of time we might need to cancel the field trip(s).
You MUST have a police check done and approved by the C.I.S administration before we leave (receipt would work). If You've already done one and are on our clearance list, you won't need o do another. The cost is $30 and you'll be reimbursed by C.I.S. Thanks for your support. Relationship with childrenChildren COPY and PASTE parentsFamily is the priority |

Ø Chunk the big words,
Ø Re-read when you come to a word that you don't understand,
Ø Read all way to the end of the words (don't miss- s, ed)
5. Comprehension-
Ø Does it make sense?
Ø Make connection. (text to text, text to life experience, and text to world)
