I’m Salama
Before mentioning the words, can I
mention my favorite book?
Now you start doing your homework..
of course you can, it’s your paragraph, your ideas and
expressions. I know you are distinctive.
But Mom is visiting our aunt & I
want to play with the new game. My homework is
so easy for you.
But you are asking me to think
about words & you’re supposed to do so.
That’s what I’m doing, helping
you in what you don’t know.
Ah! I got what you mean. It’s not right plus I’m
writing my homework myself and you have to do the same. I’ll
help you to do so, just as we do when mom is here.
No darling, I’ll not cheat our mom and I’ll
not help you to be dependent specially you are an intelligent and
distinctive kid. You can do your homework by yourself. Now
mention some words.
Engineer Salem
Hurry up Ahmed.. why so late, you know you’ll have
a test in the first session?!
The test took place during the first
session, the bus arrived after half an hour late from the
start of the session.
Kindly, everybody have to respect the bus
schedule. Our kids are late to their sessions every day.
Why do you get low scores
son?
waiting for Nasser.. it is repeated every
day mom.
Sorry dad, I didn’t have enough
time.
Why the bus was late?
How come ?!
Sorry.
Respecting bus schedule
Every day the bus waits for Nasser.

Engineer SalemHow can we be
on time? .. You know kids, they hardly wake up in the
morning.
Actually, there is a new rule in the school. The
bus will only wait for 1 minute, if the student doesn’t show on time, the bus will leave
without him.
Totally wrong, he should sleep early to get
up active. It is not good for his health and lessons.
Everybody is doing the same. Not only
my son who take the blame for the bus delay.
Can I ask you something, please? At
what time Nasser goes to bed?
Goodnight dear, this is better for you &
your health.
Unfortunately, he is the only
reason.
I hope I won’t be late as
usual.
After 9:30 pm.

Slow down Salem.
Salem, Watch
out!
Somebody help me.
Someone needs my
help.. On my way.

Are you okay dear?.. I was terrified.. Never ever cross the street
again without me.
Thankfully, the car almost hit
me but for Super Nader who came
at the right time & saved me.
It’s Okay dear, don’t be frightened and Thank God for your safety. You were
possibly exposed to a
serious accident. Next time you
have to be more careful and adhere
to traffic rules. You must look both ways right & left
to make sure the road is empty.
I already did that.
Not only that, you must also listen carefully to the voices of the cars
around. Do not put these headphones on your ears while you walking. Cross
the road in a straight line, and moderate speed, to
cross safely.
Thanks to God. Thanks Nader, I’ll be more cautious next time.

How come you bring a mobile phone to school
Dabdouba?
Don’t you remember days ago when the headmistress warned
us about that?
Girls, watch this video on YouTube.. Very
entertaining.
If Dabdouba succeeded to bring her
phone & hide it, we can do the same. I’ll bring mine
tomorrow.
What is it about? Let us see.
Hurry up girls.. The teacher is
coming.
Why only Dabdouba can
enjoy her phone & we cannot?
let’s report her to the management. I
don’t like her. No, we should
do what is better for us.
What do you mean?
I know that school regulations are not allowing that, but don’t worry no one
will see it.
Using Mobile phones in school
Dabdouba quickly hides the phone inside her bag.

Traffic Jungle
Not only me. Dabdouba has a mobile
& other girls too.
A mobile!.. you know it is not allowed in
the school.
The main reason is for your own benefit. To keep
any distractions away and to achieve success & excellence. This is why I must get a promise from you it will
not be repeated.
OMG! .. what happened?
Next Day, during P.E session, all other animals were busy playing, and the Cow was having her
mobile in her pocket.
After the headmistress knew about it, she called the girls in her office and tell them why mobile phones
are prohibited in the school.
The headmistress forgives the students, her words had a positive impact on the girls. All the student followed the regulations and no one brought her mobile again.
Oh Alia do you know how much I
love Space!
Yes dear, that’s why I decided to talk with you about space and I
put this poster to make you happy.
I love you so much.
How many planets in the solar system?
8 planets. 4 outer planets and 4 inner planets
The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are made mostly of rock and metal
so they are also known as
terrestrial planets.
First we’ll start to know the solar system, which
is so named because it includes the sun and
all the objects that orbit around it due to its gravity.
This includes things such as planets, comets,
asteroids, meteoroids and moons.
14 - 15
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
They are made mostly of hydrogen, helium and other
gases so they are also known as gas giants.
As of 2008, there are also five dwarf planets: Pluto, Ceres, Eris,
Makemake & Haumea.
What about the sun? Isn’t it a
planet as well? No, the Sun is a star found at the center of
the Solar System.
Amazing!
The Sun contains 99.86 percent of the Solar System’s known mass,
with Jupiter and Saturn making up making up most of the rest.
What about the rest of planets?
The small inner planets which include Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars make up a very small
percentage of the Solar System’s mass.
Girls, lunch is served.
Let’s go and we will resume
later.

Sahih, the Roads Friend
When parking, you should pay attention
to the appearance of the white line clearly, to make the other
cars park easily, and not to hinder them.
You must not leave the car a prominent or taking
forward a greater distance, because it is difficult for others
to enter the parking lot. Parking
in corners is very dangerous and not
correct.
Another error is parking in front of other cars, even if for a little
period of time.
Parking Corners, especially private ones, are
not designed for parking. It will hinder other cars from both sides
& no car could get out easily.
Hello dear friends.. today I’ll tell
you about a common error always repeated in
parking lots.
