MIDTERM EXAMS

This week is the last week before the upcoming Midterm Exams (23 - 25 February). Students will receive their exam timetable by the end of the week inshaAllah.

EXAM REVISIONS

Students received their study guides about 3 weeks ago. If they have lost them, you can print out a copy from this site (look at the article that is intitled midterm study guides). Students should be revising every day for at least 2 hours.

Some students do not have all their notes (from the days that they were absent). I will be checking their books this week inshaAllah to see if the notes were written from their absences. Those who still have incomplete notes will be required to write those notes during recess and lunch breaks.

MISSING GRADES

This is the last week to get missing grades in. Students can bring in their uncorrected homework to be corrected this week.

VILLAGE PILOTE

Our trip to Village Pilote is postponed until after the exams. However, a representant of this NGO will be in IQRA this Wednesday at 11am to sensitize grade 4 and grade 5 students about the goals and objectives of the centre. 

You are welcome to attend!

DELF

We need your registration forms, photos, ID and fees this week! Institut francais will be coming to collect the students' registration applications shortly.

Have a great week!

DIBELS testing this week

Assalamu alaikum.  

I hope that you are all having a good weekend!

This coming week, we will be doing another American standardized test : DIBELS . (Last week's testing was TITLE I).

What are DIBELS?

The Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) are a set of procedures and measures for assessing the acquisition of early literacy skills from kindergarten through sixth grade. They are designed to be short (one minute) fluency measures used to regularly monitor the development of early literacy and early reading skills.

At IQRA, we will periodically be testing students until the end of the year. Students' literacy and reading skills are expected to improve as the months pass inshaAllah.
