Many students have already been sick and several other students are also currently sick or getting sick. The students and I did a deep disinfecting of our class yesterday (toys, supplies, every surface, etc.) and to ensure our class stays a healthy germ-free zone, I kindly request that students who have the bug or are recovering should remain home for 3 days after they first exhibit symptoms. This is to ensure that our students have enough time to rest and recover and to so also that the the bug does not spread any further. Jazak'Allah Khair for your cooperation. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. 3) Grade 1 & 2 Akhlaq Assembly (Wednesday, April 25) Please confirm your attendance at [email protected] 4) Arabic Please check the Arabic website daily for updates Wednesday, March 28 1) Language - Sight Words (both sides) 2) Grade 1 & 2 Akhlaq Assembly (Wednesday, April 25) Please confirm your attendance at [email protected] 3) Arabic Please check the Arabic website daily for updates Tuesday, March 27 1) Akhlaq Assembly a) Memorize lines 9 - 12 b) Practice poem 7 times. c) Students must have the poem completely memorized by tomorrow as we will begin preparing for other performances. 2) French Bake Sale tomorrow Please send $2 - $4 and a separate bag or container for students to store their food items.
