Hajj Activities at the Library !

Bismillah ,

Assalam u alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

Today , we had fun in doing hajj activities at the library. Lots and lots of kids participated in it. Subhana got socialized too. No doubt , the libririans worked so hard to make up the models of all rituals incuding Kaaba. Below are the pictures:

Magnets!

Bismillah ,

Assalam u alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

She took interest in this chapter that what they are upto with this red thing, so I thought to do some playful experiments at home , right there so that her curiosity gets over.

The first ever science experiment with magnets !

She got surprised when she saw the magnetic measuring spoons hanging up in the air.

Hajj day by day lapbook!

Bismillah ,

Assalam u alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

This Hajj (day by day) lapbook was pending since a long time , but now alhamdulAllah , we have made it.

Oh nooo! Sorry did I tell you that Allah SWT has invited us to His House this year , inshAllah. Yes . inshAllah , we would be leaving on 7th Zilhajj night from Jeddah. AlhamdulAllah , it was one of my dreams to perform Hajj with my child. Summa AlhamdullAllah Allah SWT has given a chance to us . I have always wanted my child to know what we are going through. Subhana has already known the names of rituals and places during Hajj. Lets see when she will see live Hajj inshAllah!

Bob Books !

Bismillah ,

Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

AlhamdulALLAH we finally got Bob Books here in Jeddah from Stars Avenue Mall.

A homeschooling sister held a grand sale of books too , I got set 2 from there too at a very reasonable cost.

So , what is more important , mmmmmmm , my girl has started reading on her own mashAllah mashAllah mashAllah. Yes ! I am very happy. I could not believe when I saw her reading three letter ?( CVC) words plus more and more words with her best of the best abilities. She was trying and kept asking me " Mama, how we will read this word?" , in return , I ask her " to pronounce the letters first , then read the word" . AlhamdulAllah she has got the concept of reading.

I love to see her reading bob books while I am in kitchen or
 before the bed time.

Indeed , another achievement !!! alhamdulAllah summa alhamdulAllah ! This is exactly I wanted from her . Gone are the days.....when I just used to dream :) , now I am watching in reality.

She has completed two sets of bob books......she loves them. Interesting thing about bob books that their stories makes sense for the child reader. Sometimes , she laughs at her best that

"look mama ,

The cat ran . The vet ran.
Yes , yes , the cat can run."

Indeed the hard work with phonics paid off.

She has learnt some new words too.

So , please , whenever you get the chance for bob books. I gaurantee you that your child would love them to read inshAllah. And ignore the pig characater in it. I have already told subhana that this is "chi chi"  means " not a good animal" . So sometimes she replaces that with rabbit.
