Assalam Alaikum dear parents,
Yesterday we had the Spelling Bee Assembly for grades 4-8. The eight Finalists from each class competed to determine the School Champion: Rizq Khateeb (7th grade). The competition took about an hour, and it became very tense as the number of competing students became less and less. The audience were quietly cheering their classmates up on the stage and warmly comforting the ones who got eliminated. As the School Champion, Rizq is eligible to participate in the regional Spelling Bee and could potentially move on to the State and National Bees. Congratulations to the Spelling Bee Finalists: Alya Samsudin (4A), Asbah Wasim (4B), Saara Kharal (5A), Abdullah Naveed (5B), Humza Malik (6A), Dania Kirmani (6B), Rizq Khateeb (7A), and Nabeel Sabzwari (8A).
This week Granada students from all grades participated in Reading Buddies Activities. Children are paired with students from other grade levels to read to one another. The objective of this activity is to boost confidence in readers, as well as make reading exciting. This activity is repeated at GIS in every trimester. Students read in the grass area or at the masjid.
GIS will take a whole school panoramic picture next week (11/19). All students from PK to 8th grade will be included in the picture, even if they are not buying a picture. You will receive order information this week. Please fill a "Permission Denied" form if you do not wish your child to be included in the panoramic photo.
Students in grades 6-8 will have their final exams on the last of week of November: 11/25, 11/26, and 11/27. The finals schedule has been posted in the classrooms and published on the school website. These days will be minimum days for all students (8am to 12pm).
