Writing : Worksheets Vs Colorful Sprinkles Fun !

Bismillah,

Assalam u alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

Guess what ! What happened today !

The day began with dong young worksheets with dot to dot  'a' , but , on the other way around after hardships ( yes , I mean it !) , it ended with letters 'a' , 'q' , 'A' , 'H' , 'h' , 'b' , 'c' , and 'o' on the colorful sprinkles! :-)

Yayyyyy! We had fun!

Along with that , we also did small practical life activity and that is pouring sprinkles with a spoon through a funnel. Plus , sorting too!

Seriously , how on earth do you make writing fun? Kids want fun in everything they wanted to learn. 

More activities coming soon related to writing inshAllah.

Calenders & Ramadan Lantern!

Bismillah ,

Assalam u alaikum warhmatullahi wabarakatuh,

I also made calenders for Subhana. AlhamdulAllah , because of this , she got the concept of counting more than 10 to 30 to 50.

Hajj Bullitin Board !

Bismillah ,

Assalam u alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

So , alas , we made this Hajj Bullitin Board before Ramadan ! Really helped Subhana to take names of the major places during Hajj . She is not clear about the steps uptill yet but still we are working on it. If any of non homeschooler thinks that a 3 year old child is too young to understand terms of Hajj then wait for the surprise that why we are so eager to indulge these activities in our younger one!


A map of Makkah  : Used velcro circles stick on so that Subhana can place by herself  

Ramadan concept gets more clear!

Bismillah ,

Assalam u alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh ,

To give more clear understanding to my daughter , I also used the same ever- famous resources from Islamic Bullitin Boards.

I only selected some of it , because I thought it may be too much for my child to absorb.

so here they are:
Ibadah Tracker
 
Good Deeds Chart for Mama , Subhana and Baba

Phases of the moon

A Day in Ramadan

Ramadan Counter & Kaaba Craft !

Bismillah ,

Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

In Ramadan , we also made Flower vase , idea took from A Muslim Child is Born , as far as I remember.



I made Ramadan Moon Counter too to get her familiar with phases of the moon.





Plus ,we also made Kaaba , Subhana enjoyed while painting it.









Phonemic Awareness Activity!

Bismillah ,

Assalam u alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh ,

Before Ramadan , Subhana got a present from her to - be - Mami ( my twin's brother to - be - wife inshaAllah).

MashAllah , the present is so attractive to play for a child like Subhana. I was surprised to see how people minds work to bring such product to market.

Well , she likes to make words , by looking at the picture. Amazingly , when Subhana got her gift , she already knew basic sounds of alphabets alhamdulAllah . She didnt need any special sort of guidance from me. She started picking letters and tried to make words at her best.

well , here are the pictures:





Ramadan : Dua Jar !

Bismillah ,

Assalamu alaikum warahamtullahi wabarakaruh,

In Ramadan , we made a Dua Jar together , to  check how many duas we have learnt or read on a daily basis.

We did glass painting on a chocolate spread jar and Subhana colored all popsicle sticks.

so here it is :

So where were we?

Bismillah ,

Assalam u alaikum warahmatullahi wabarkatuh,

So where were we? The question is to be answered right here.

well , we were just round the corner , back from vacations , became a silent reader of other blogs before and after ramadan too. I was also looking at the scene of Ummi's Circle and other mothers blogs too... mashAllah , you all did very well! I couldnt participate that much because in ramadan the schedule gets very tight but alongwith that I have been keeping Subhana busy in Ramadan activities , will be posting soon about them inshAllah.Ramadan was busy for us. Attended taraweeh in near by masjid alhamdulAllah , fasted , performed Umrah AlhamdulAllah summa alhamdulAllah . Completed Quran alhamdulAllah with a bit of proper tajweed . And yes , I remember not to forget to say mabrook to Sis Umm Maimoonah for umrah in ramadan mashAllah . I wish we could meet you and your family , but doesnt matter , we will meet next time inshAllah.

Moreover , where we are upto!?!

We have started "formal homeschooling" , I was planning and organizing Preschool Curriculum since I have landed to my home. The work is still under construction. So keep checking my blog !

and have I forgot to say " Eid Mubarak " to all of you ?!? :)
