E-Learning at Sunrise Academy
Reflections on Life, Good Health, and Family
Asslamu Alaikum Sunrise Academy Family and Friends,
First I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to you for your on-going patience, understanding support and cooperation in meeting the needs of our children and yours. These current times are a humble reminder from our Prophet Muhammed (S), “The two most undervalued assets by people are good health and leisure time”. In our present day circumstances I hope that you appreciate your good health and effectively make the best use of the additional unplanned leisure time that you have been granted with your children. In my particular time of leisure I have been intentionally reflecting not only on students and families but also what the Coronavirus has provided us with as a school and society. I hope that you will in some way find peace of mind in this short list and share my gratitude for life, good health and family.
- We are learning to persevere: Life is not about guarantees and in fact the only one thing that is for certain, is death. Everything between life and death causes us to preserve through the unknown until we encounter what is certain. This can cause stress and anxiety to many but regardless we must have a humble heart and faith in Allah (SWT) that He will provide us with strength and wisdom to persevere in these times for which we are not fully aware of the outcome. Perseverance can be one of the greatest tool for human existence in achieving success.
- Bridging the gap between home and school: It is natural if you are feeling some bit of pressure in meeting your child’s academic needs while they learn from home. As if being a parent is not challenging enough, you are now being required to play a larger role in your child’s education as a direct facilitator of learning and even problem solver. It is my hope that from this experience you will not be discouraged but instead encouraged to bridge the gap that often exist between home and school.
- Human Interaction:The need for human interaction can never go underestimated in the lives of children as they grow and develop into productive members of society. With E-Learing occurring, the human interaction that students receive from teachers has now been removed but human interaction can never be replaced. Albert Einstein once said, “I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots”. We trust that they still have in their lives the human interaction from those who love them in their lives at home and that too is very essential to their growth.
Yours in Education,

A Guest Joins E-Learning with 5th Grade
Miss Dena's 5th grade students are reading a novel called Out of my Mind by Sharon Draper. The novel is about a 5th grader named Melody Brookes who has Cerebral Palsy. It talks about her struggles with this disability. For this E-Learning session, they had a visitor come to there class virtually. Her name is Kristin and she has Cerebral Palsy too. She talked to them about how she grew up with CP, her struggles, and how she came out stronger because of her disability.
