A message from Teacher Salam


 
اللغة العربية :  15/ ذو الحجة /1433  
                   31/10/2012              
السلام عليكم ... عيد مبارك و عساكم من عواده ... مرسلة اليوم مع الطالب  نتيجة اختبار القراءة ، الرجاء الاطلاع عليها و توقيعها ، ثم  اعادتها غدا ( الخميس ) للمدرسة مع الطالب .
كانت النتيجة  لمعظم التلاميذ جيدة و مرضية و الحمد الله  ، و هذا بالطبع يعود لمجهوداتكم الكريمة معنا في متابعة الطالب ، جزاكم الله خيرا .... و لكن ما زال عدد قليل من التلاميذ يحتاجون من الاهالي الكرام  الى زيادة الجهد في متابعتهم وتدريبهم على القراءة الصحيحة للحروف و المقاطع ، بالاضافة الى ما نقوم به من جهد في المدرسة . 
فمن الضروري و المطلوب من التلاميذ الان، في هذه المرحلة  (مرحلة  التأسيس و التمهيد للقراءة ) معرفة أسماء الحروف ( م – ب – ت – ة – ك ) و لفظهم مع حركات التشكيل الفتحة و الكسرة و الضمة وتنوين الضم ، و ذلك لكي نساعد التلميذ على سهولة، قراءة المفردات والجمل فيما بعد ، و الا سيجد صعوبة كبيرة في القراءة فيما بعد . 
                                                         
 جزاكم الله خيرا و جعله في ميزان حسناتكم جميعا .         المدرسة / سلام
