Students will be learning to explore math in real life through worksheets and experiments. Students will also be exploring  the value of money and how to use it to purchase items.

Assalamo Alaikum,

My name is Salam Beseiso and it is my pleasure to be teaching Quran to your child this school year. I am looking forward to getting to know your child and helping them succeed in their education, Inshallah.

Our main goal for Quran is to enhance the student’s engagement and increase their desire to learn, recite and memorize surahs with the appropriate Tajweed for their level.

We are starting with surat El Bayyna and reviewing the first and second lesson from El Noranyyah.

The Quran homework will be once per week, and the student will be assessed continuously on memorizing Quran with tajweed.

May Allah protect all of us and make this year full of success.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact me by ClassDojo.

With My Dua,

Tr. Salam

Assalam Alaikoum. My name is Sara.

My educational background is related to Electronics and Communication Engineering. However, I find myself a good caliber among teachers. The reason is that I took part in many certified teaching workshops in Ontario. Also, I have been teaching for a long time. Since I started as a teacher, in 2016, I have worked for three different school boards in Quebec and Ontario. I am dedicated to enriching my students with the Islamic culture while giving them language and social skills they will use throughout their

lives, I am passionate about helping students learn and grow. I have a strong background in teaching

methodology and I believe that every child has the potential to succeed when provided with the right tools and

support.

As your child's teacher, I am eager to get to know them more, understand their unique strengths, interests, and

learning styles. I will work closely with them to ensure that they are able to continue making progress in their

studies and achieve their academic goals.

I understand that communication is key to a successful parent teacher relationship, and I encourage you to reach

out to me with any questions or concerns you may have. I will keep you updated on your child's progress and

any important events or deadlines.

I am grateful for the opportunity to work with you and your child, and I look forward to a successful academic year together.
