أَيُّهَا الطَّالِبُ الْعَزِيزُ أَيَّتُهَا الطَّالِبَةُ الْعَزِيزَةُ:

Dear students:

هَذَا كِتَابُكُمَا (لُغَتِي الْجَمِيلَةُ) لِلصَّفِّ الرَّابِعِ الْجُزْءِ الْأَوَّلِ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّرِ، وَيَحْتَوِي عَلَى وَحْدَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ بِعُنْوَانِ (صِحَّتِي وَبِيئَتِي) الَّتِي تَشْمَلُ نَشَاطَاتٍ مُتَنَوِّعَةً، تُنَمِّي لَدَيْكُمَا الْقُدْرَةَ عَلَى التَّوَاصُلِ اللُّغَوِيِّ، الشَّفَهِيِّ وَالْكِتَابِيِّ، وَتُذْكِي فِي نَفْسَيْكُمَا رُوحَ الْبَحْثِ وَالْجِدِّ وَالْمُثَابَرَةِ، وَتَمَثَّلَ قِيَمَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَآدَابَهُ؛ لِتَكُونَا فَرْدَيْنِ صَالِحَيْنِ، تَبْنِيَانِ شَخْصِيَّتَيْكُمَا، وَتَخْدُمَانِ وَطَنَكُمَا.

This is your textbook, My Beautiful Language, for the first part of the fourth-grade curriculum. It contains one unit titled My Health and My Environment, which includes diverse activities designed to develop your oral and written communication skills. These activities will spark a spirit of inquiry, diligence, and perseverance, while reflecting Islamic values and etiquette, helping you grow into righteous individuals who build their own character and serve their country.

وَلِكَيْ تَسْتَفِيدَا مِنْ كِتَابِكُمَا فِي إِثْرَاءِ لُغَتِكُمَا وَالِارْتِقَاءِ بِمُسْتَوَى أَدَائِكُمَا فِيهَا، يَلْزَمُكُمَا إِنْجَازُ النَّشَاطَاتِ الْوَارِدَةِ فِيهِ، مُعْتَمِدَيْنِ عَلَى نَفْسَيْكُمَا، وَمُسْتَرْشِدَيْنِ بِتَوْجِيهَاتِ الْمُعَلِّمِ/ الْمُعَلِّمَةِ.

To benefit from this book and improve your language performance, you must complete the activities independently, while following your teacher’s guidance.

أَيُّهَا الْمُعَلِّمُ الْعَزِيزُ أَيَّتُهَا الْمُعَلِّمَةُ الْعَزِيزَةُ: وَفَّقَكُمَا اللَّهُ وَرَعَاكُمَا.

Dear teachers: May Allah grant you success and watch over you.

إِنَّكُمَا تَقُومَانِ بِأَعْظَمِ مِهْنَةٍ، بَلْ تَحْمِلَانِ أَسْمَى رِسَالَةٍ، وَإِنَّ تَحْقِيقَ الْكِتَابِ لِأَهْدَافِهِ وَغَايَاتِهِ التَّعْلِيمِيَّةِ وَالتَّرْبَوِيَّةِ مَرْهُونٌ بِوَعْيِكُمَا بِمَقَاصِدِهِ، وَطَرَائِقِ تَنْظِيمِهِ وَبِنَائِهِ، وَتَطْبِيقِكُمَا إِسْتِرَاتِيجِيَّاتِ التَّدْرِيسِ الَّتِي تَتَمَحْوَرُ حَوْلَ الْمُتَعَلِّمِ وَتَجْعَلُ مِنْهُ مُتَعَلِّمًا نَشِطًا، وَمُفَكِّرًا مُبْدِعًا، وَبَاحِثًا مُطَّلِعًا.

You hold the greatest profession and carry the noblest mission. Achieving the educational and pedagogical goals of this book depends on your understanding of its purpose, structure, and organization. It also relies on your use of student-centered teaching strategies that foster active learning, creative thinking, and informed research.

وَلِضَمَانِ جَوْدَةِ الْمُخْرَجَاتِ، وَتَحَقُّقِ التَّطَلُّعَاتِ الْمَأْمُولَةِ نَرْجُو مِنْكُمَا الِالْتِزَامَ بِالْأُمُورِ الْآتِيَةِ:

To ensure high-quality outcomes and achieve our shared goals, we ask that you commit to the following:

الْحِرْصُ عَلَى مُرَاجَعَةِ الْمُكْتَسَبَاتِ السَّابِقَةِ مَعَ الطُّلَّابِ وَتَطْبِيقِ الِاخْتِبَارِ التَّشْخِيصِيِّ فِي الْأُسْبُوعِ الْأَوَّلِ مِنْ بِدَايَةِ الْعَامِ، وَتَصْحِيحِ الْإِجَابَاتِ، وَاسْتِخْلَاصِ النَّتَائِجِ؛ لِمَعْرِفَةِ مُسْتَوَيَاتِ الطُّلَّابِ مُنْذُ الْبِدَايَةِ وَالتَّعَامُلِ وَفْقَ مَا تَقْتَضِيهِ الْفُرُوقُ الْفَرْدِيَّةُ.

Review previous knowledge with your students, conduct a diagnostic test during the first week of the school year, grade the results, and use them to assess student levels from the start and address individual differences accordingly.

الِاهْتِمَامُ بِتَفْعِيلِ الْمَشَارِيعِ وَفْقَ الطَّرِيقَةِ الْمُقْتَرَحَةِ فِي (مَشْرُوعِ الْوَحْدَةِ)؛ فَالْمَشَارِيعُ تُسْهِمُ فِي زِيَادَةِ وَعْيِ الطُّلَّابِ بِأَهَمِّيَّةِ مَضْمُونِ الْوَحْدَةِ، وَتُحِيلُ مَا يَتَعَلَّمُونَهُ إِلَى وَاقِعٍ عَمَلِيٍّ يُمَارِسُونَهُ فِي حَيَاتِهِمُ الْعَامَّةِ.

Implement the projects as suggested in the Unit Project section. These projects help students understand the importance of the unit's content and translate their learning into practical applications for their daily lives.

التَّرْكِيزُ عَلَى تَنْمِيَةِ مَهَارَاتِ اللُّغَةِ الْأَرْبَعِ (الِاسْتِمَاعِ وَالْقِرَاءَةِ وَالتَّحَدُّثِ وَالْكِتَابَةِ)، وَخَيْرُ وَسِيلَةٍ لِاكْتِسَابِهَا أَنْ يَرَوْا فِيكُمَا مِثَالًا يُحْتَذَى وَنَمُوذَجًا يُقْتَدَى فِي حُبِّ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ وَتَمَثُّلِ مَهَارَاتِهَا فِي كُلِّ الْأَحْوَالِ.

Focus on developing the four language skills: listening, reading, speaking, and writing. The best way for students to acquire these is by seeing you as a role model who loves the Arabic language and demonstrates its skills at all times.

الْحِرْصُ عَلَى تَفْعِيلِ إِسْتِرَاتِيجِيَّاتِ الْفَهْمِ الْقِرَائِيِّ؛ لِتَعْزِيزِ مَهَارَاتِ الطَّالِبِ فِي فَهْمِ الْمَقْرُوءِ، وَتَعْزِيزِهَا بِتَطْبِيقِهَا فِي نَصِّ الْفَهْمِ الْقِرَائِيِّ.

Actively apply reading comprehension strategies to strengthen your students' ability to understand texts, specifically by practicing these strategies within the reading comprehension lessons.

الِاسْتِفَادَةُ مِنْ نَمُوذَجِ اخْتِبَارِ الْوَحْدَةِ فِي بِنَاءِ أَسْئِلَةِ اخْتِبَارِ نِهَايَةِ كُلِّ وَحْدَةٍ لِقِيَاسِ أَثَرِ التَّعَلُّمِ.

Use the provided unit test model as a guide when creating end-of-unit assessments to measure learning progress.

تَدْرِيبُ الطُّلَّابِ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ الْأَسْئِلَةِ وَحَلِّهَا بِالِاعْتِمَادِ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ.

Train your students to read questions and solve them independently.

وَفَّقَكُمَا اللَّهُ وَرَعَاكُمَا.

May Allah grant you success and watch over you.
