Hello KG2B families,
KG2 students have been hard at work as we continue to become strong readers and writers! In reading, we have been practicing sharing “wow” pages with reading buddies! We can use our reading buddies to talk about what we see in our books and to ask and answer questions about what we learn!
We also got to celebrate UAE Flag Day on November 3rd. We learned about the history of the flag, what the colors represent, and got to dress in UAE National clothes and colors!
الروضة الاولى
السلام عليكم الأهل الكرام:
طلاب الروضة الاولى قضوا وقتاً ممتعا في حصص اللغة العربية وقد تعرفوا على الحروف والألوان، استمعوا لبعض الأناشيد العربية الممتعة .
تعرّف الصغارعلى أجزاء الجسم ، وقضوا أوقات ممتعة في رسم وتلوين ملامح وجههم الجميل.
كان جميع الطلاب متحمسين للغاية لتعلّم الحروف العربيّة الجديدة كل اسبوع،من خلال الأنشطة والألعاب المتنوعة.
Assalamoualaykoum from Arabic.
In KG1 during Arabic, the students have had the opportunity to learn about parts of body
They have a fun time drawing their facial features.
Students were all very excited about learning new Arabic letters every week and singing songs.
الروضة الثّانية
تحيّاتي لكم الأهل الكرام:
طلاب الروضة الثانية استمتعوا خلال حصص اللغة العربية، التعرف على الحروف وألعاب تعليمية عربية مسلية وممتعة.
قمنا برحلة استكشاف الحروف والكلمات،حتى أننا أصبحنا قادرين على تأليف وكتابة جمل بسيطة .
نحن نستفسر عن الكيفية التي يمكن بها للأحرف ذات الحروف المتحركة الطويلة والقصيرة ان تصنع الكلمات.
In KG2 during Arabic, we have been exploring letters and words. We have even been writing simple sentences.
We are inquiring into how letters with long and short vowel sounds can make words.
We are also being communicators by talking family members and friends.
Check out some amazing photos below.
