A Note From the Teacher

Assalamu Alaikum Dear Parents/ Guardians,
Masha Allah, there were many highlights
for the month of April. Both Grade 3 classes
had their second Scientist in School
Workshop, which was a very hands on and
informative learning opportunity for the
students. They also went on their second
field trip to Black Creek Pioneer Village where
they gained a lot of knowledge pertaining to
the Social Studies curriculum. Jazak Allah to
the parent volunteers who donated their time
to be with us. The bake sale thrown by all
classes was also a huge success, Jazak Allah
to all students who brought in yummy snacks
to sell.
