Multiple Intelligences in Grade 4

Each student learns the subject matter in a variety of different ways, thus several activities were done to engage grade 4 students in a lesson about 'The Water Cycle ’’ to multiply the chances of successfully understanding and retaining the information. Students were classified into 5 categories: Linguistic, Spatial, Musical, Logical-Mathematical, and Kinesthetic. Every group did a different activity: - Linguistic students enjoyed transforming the lesson to a story. Spatial students enjoyed drawing posters of the water cycle. Musical students enjoyed listening to songs about the water cycle. Logical- Mathematical students calculated the duration of the water cycle. Kinesthetic students enjoyed making simple experiments to check the stages of the water.

We are Young Scientists!

Science allows students to explore their world and discover new things. It is also an active subject, containing hands-on activities and experiments. Learning by doing allows children to become personally invested in their own learning process. Once a new concept has been taught, the time came for students to demonstrate it through hands-on activities and experiment. Here are some science activities that were done with my young clovers: Grade 3 students acted as scientists where they discovered all tools used in the science lab. They also learned strategies they must follow in the lab to keep themselves safe. Grade 4 students modeled the food chain using clay and wool. They also detected the suitable conditions to save food from decay. Moreover, grade 5 students planted different types of seeds. They took care of them on daily basis in order to sprout. They also used Bromothymol blue to check the suitable conditions for plants to make photosynthesis. Furthermore, grade 6 students modeled atoms, molecules, and compounds using playing dough.

Grade 6 first Online Home Assignment

Grade 6 Students were thrilled to know that they will do their first online home Math assignment. I used a web 2.0 tool “Zoomerang and Survey Monkey” to create the online assignment. The benefit of such online assignments is that I can quickly analyze in what areas students are successful and in what areas they have demonstrated learning gaps by using the online graphing analysis. Performing such assignments will help me save around 15 minutes per class. Therefore, I will have more time in class to help students improve and to work on higher level skills. Both my students and I can see the students’ progress over time as they see the online scores. Dear Parents, To compete what your child and help him solve his home assignment

Celebrating our Prophet’s Life Mathematically

Grade 6 students were surprised when they knew that they’ll learn about our prophet’s Mohammad PBUH life in the Math sessions.

The aim of this activity was to trace all the events that happened in our prophet’s life in a mathematical way. They used all Math lessons they learned so far; exponents, algebraic expressions, divisibility, and decimal operations, and prime factorization to change his life in to numbers.

Students were excited to know Prophet Mohammad’s life in another perspective.
