Assalamualaykum wa Rahmatullahi wabarakatuhu,
Dear Grade 4 Parents
It was a pleasure meeting you during “Back-to-School” night. JazakAllah khair for attending and making it a special evening for us. Last month, we focused a lot on good deeds, kind words, and having a positive attitude. We discussed the spirit behind Hajj and the sacrifices that Ibrahim (AS) and his family made to please Allah (SWT).
Our morning routines include brief discussion on ahadith and quran verses, and also math-minute challenges. We are also working on our fine motor skills by practicing to write neatly.
To celebrate Eid and make it memorable, we will be going to LegoLand on Oct 9th inshaaAllah. Parents are welcome to volunteer to supervise during the trip; please respond to the Parent Volunteer e-mail.
