Arabic Class:
Marhaba!!
Our Arabic program this year started strong. Thank you for your support and amazing help that you provided for me and my students. I was very impressed with my students this year with the amount of words and phrases that they still remember from last year. My students in 3rd grade are enjoying learning about the language, the music and other information about Arabic speaking countries and people. We have been learning some songs and playing games to learn new Arabic vocabulary and to practice new structures to communicate our ideas. My fourth and fifth grade students know how to count in Arabic and use the Arabic numbers beyond math. We learned short and long vowels and looked for them while reading. We will cover more cultural perspectives and practices in the second half of the school year. If you have any questions please email me at: basuni@aaps.k12.mi.us
