Assalamu Alaikum Dear Parents,

As the year progresses, many of the students' school supplies are depleting.  As a result, many students in Grade 6 are coming to class unprepared to work.  This leads to delays and disruptions during class time as students search for supplies or borrow from friends.  Since there are still three months of school remaining, it is essential that ALL students bring the required supplies to class, insha Allah.  Please check with your child to find out what they may need to work more productively at school.  Some suggested materials are:


  • pencils
  • glue stick
  • scissors
  • erasers
  • coloured pencils
  • tissue
In addition, I have asked that each student provide a box of tissue for the class as we have run out during this crucial "Cold Season" time.  I appreciate your assistance with regard to this important issue.  Thank you in advance for your support.

Happy Spring!

Learning Skills Assessment for March 24 - April 7

Assalamu alaikum Dear Parents,

I will be assessing the Learning Skill, "Self-Regulation" during the next two weeks.  This refers to the following:

  • Sets individual goals and monitors progress towards those goals.
  • Seeks clarification or assistance when needed.
  • Assesses and reflects critically on own strengths, needs and interests.
  • Identifies learning opportunities, choices and strategies to achieve goals.
  • Perseveres and makes an effort when responding to challenges.   
These skills are essential to student success, especially as your child approaches the Intermediate years in Grades 7 & 8.  Please read over these expectations with your child and help him/her determine the areas in which improvement is required.

Thank you for your continued support.

Respectfully,
Tr. Salma

Upcoming Math Test for 6A & 6B

Alsalamo Alikom Dear Parents        

Alhamdullillah we are done with chapter 12. It was a very important chapter about Fractions, Decimal, Ratios, and Percentages.

Alhamdullillah students now are able to relate and compare fractions, decimals, and percents.
They are able to identify, model, and apply ratios in various situations.
They are able to represent relationships using unit rates and solve problems using a guess and test strategy.

Inshaa'Allah we will have our test on chapter 12 next Monday March 31st.

Jazakom Allah Khairan for your cooperation.
