🟢 1. Today's letter — س (sin)
Trace each sin. Start on the right. Make three little teeth, then a smooth bowl underneath.
Now try writing one by yourself:
Big sin! Make it huge — really stretch those teeth:
Tip: سsin sounds like the "s" in "salad."
🟡 2. Find the sin
Circle every word that has the letter س (sin) in it:
سَلَطة بَندورة بَقدونِس خِيار بَصَل
Hint: sin can hide at the start, the middle, or the end of a word. Look carefully!
🟠 3. I can read these words
Read these three words out loud. Point to each one as you say it:
| Picture | Arabic | Say it |
|---|---|---|
| 🍅 | بَندورة |
ba-na-do-ra |
| 🥒 | خِيار |
khi-yaar |
| 🥗 | سَلَطة |
sa-la-ta |
After you read them, ask a grown-up: "Want me to make a salad with you?"
🟣 4. Sort it — salad or not salad?
Tito is making fattoush. Draw a line from each vegetable to the right bowl.
| Vegetable | Bowl | |
|---|---|---|
بَندورة 🍅 |
─ → | 🥗 Goes in the salad |
خِيار 🥒 |
─ → | 🥗 Goes in the salad |
بَقدونِس 🌿 |
─ → | 🥗 Goes in the salad |
نَعنَع 🌱 |
─ → | 🥗 Goes in the salad |
بَصَل 🧅 |
─ → | 🥗 Goes in the salad |
| 🍫 chocolate | ─ → | 🚫 Not in the salad! |
| 🍦 ice cream | ─ → | 🚫 Not in the salad! |
Yes — every single vegetable goes in! That's why fattoush is so good.
🔵 5. Draw your salad bowl
Draw your own bowl of سَلَطة. Put in at least three vegetables. Label them in Arabic if you can.

🌟 6. Mini-challenge (optional stretch)
Open the fridge tonight (ask first!). Find a real vegetable. Can you name it in Arabic?
| Vegetable I found | Its Arabic name | Did I say it out loud? |
|---|---|---|
| _______________ | _____________ |
yes / not yet |
Bonus: find TWO vegetables and name them both. Tito level: name three. 🏆
📝 Tonight's home practice (1 minute)
Help someone in your family make something with a vegetable in it — even just washing a خِيار counts. Tell them the Arabic name while you do it.
| Vegetable I helped with | What we made | Who I helped |
|---|---|---|
