Assalamualaikum,

In class on May 10th, students finished learning Surah Al-Bayyinah in the study guide. They also reviewed the two names of Allah SWT for this unit and the three duas. 

Those who have not completed the Surah Al-Bayyinah homework worksheet should turn it in this Sunday to receive credit. 

The test for Surah Al-Bayyinah will be this Sunday, on May 17th, InshaAllah. It will cover everything in the Surah Al-Bayyinah study guide, names of Allah for Surah Al-Bayyinah, the duas and their meanings, madd laazim, and some of Surah Al-Bayyinah vocabulary. Since this is the last class before graduation, if you know your child cannot make it for the test, you can arrange with me to take the test at home and send me a copy of their answers so they can still get a grade. 

After the test, I will assess the kids on all of the surahs they need to know from KG to Level 4. This will not be for a grade; it is just so their teacher next year can have an idea of where they are with memorization.

I will also bring some snacks for the kids during the test to have some fun for the last class.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Assalamu alaykum parents,
*Homework this week:*

MashaAllah they all did a wonderful job in their Camel Presentation. I will be reviewing it and sending to you all to appreciate their hard work. 

We will continue to review previous surahs for their end of year Evaluation plz have them revise. They know the surah it just need to be refresh. 

Salaam parents, 

Today I assessed the students on salah training requirements for this year. The students have learned a lot this year and hopefully they can retain this information this summer. We also reviewed some salah positions, what they are called and what we say while we do them.

I will miss the next class as I will be out of town but will be here for graduation inshAllah

I'm planning on arranging a substitute to do crafts and games for the last class as well as some more review.

It has been a pleasure teaching these students for the past year and I have been learning along as well. May Allah continue to fill their hearts with excitement in growing their knowledge about Islam, Ameen! 

Assalamu Alaykum parents:
Kindly find attached the study guide for the exam this Sunday. Each student will be asked to recite one of the Surahs, then to tell me its general meaning. Then I’ll ask the student to tell me the meaning of two of Allah names in their curriculum, answering why we should thank Allah daily and be good to our parents. I’ll show them Arabic letters and they have to verbally tell me the name.
Then they do the written part of the test. If they practice the study guide, they should be fine.
Jazakum Allah khair

As we are reaching the end of the semester, students were evaluated this week on their Islamic duas. In the coming weeks, we will review and touch base on salah and adaan, reinforcing their understanding and practice.
 

no homework 

Amazing Job Aleena A Aleen S and Nayel at Quran Competition today and rest of the class activily participated on Q/A and earned cash 💰.

 We have only two weeks left for this schools year. 
Instead of speeding on Surah Al Balad I am going to give a Summer Home Work. Will follow up on it later.

Salaam Parents,

The rest of the students took the exam today. I will have them graded by next week. This week we started final assessment for everyday duas and salah that are required for the 2nd grade curriculum.

Since everyone is on a different level on what they know already, l have assigned each one of the students a different homework for this week related to Salah. We have two more classes left before graduation so it's important all the students do their best to catch up and learn the required duas before the end of the school year.

This Sunday the first class 11-12 will be Islamic studies. After lunch, the students will attend the senior Quran competition in the main prayer room. There is no Quran class this Sunday.
We are going to have our end of year Quran/arabic test on May/10th and a makeup test on May/17th.
The test will cover all the material that the kids learned over the year, but it will be simple and they will be fine if they review and study the exam study guide. It will be a good opportunity to get the material stick in their minds while they are heading to summer break and starting level 2 in the Sunday school, in shaa Allah. May Allah bless them for you and reward you on your efforts and care!
Jazakum Allah khair.

Last Sunday:
1. We learned the meaning of Allah names, Al-Latif(اللطيف):     Al-Lateef (ٱللَّطِيف): Allah is very kind and gentle, even in ways we don’t see.
For that we learned briefly the story of prophet Yusuf(ع), when he was young around 10 years old ( same their age), he was a very good Muslim, kind to everyone, but his 10 older brothers were very jealous of him and decided to throw him in a well so their father start loving them more(as they think). And they did, the well was very deep and dark, with snakes and scorpions. Yusuf did not loose trust in Allah, made duaa, and Allah sent people to get water from that well. And they got him out, he went to Egypt, and grew up to be a minister with a lot of wealth and power. So it might seem bad that he was in the well, but Al-Latif gave him better than what he could achieve had he stayed with his father.
Al-Mujeeb (ٱلْمُجِيب): Allah is the One who listens and answers our prayers. We talked about the three ways of answering duaa: either getting what you want, preventing bad things from happening to you, or giving what you want and more in Jannah . we should remember Allah at comfort and ease so Allah remembers us at hardship.
2.We learned the importance of being THANKFUL to Allah in our life. We listened to the story of prophets DAVID(داؤود) and Sulayman(سليمان), how they were thanking Allah for even the simplest things in their life, and Allah gave them a lot: they were kings, prophets, David (ع) could do many things with his hands like wood sticks for hunting and killed the king of giants by it, and he could use IRON to make weapons just like a play dough. Sulayman(ع): could talk to animals/ ants/had flying rug, and jinn as slaves who do anything for him like go under the see and bring him jewels.
3.we talked about honoring and respecting your parents, thank them, be gentle to them, kissing their hands is a good practice. Then we mentioned a story of a man who had old-aged parents and kids, one day he was trapped in a cave by a big rock, he made DUAA to Allah with the best thing he did in life so Allah may save him. So he said one day I collected milk from my sheep and came home, I stood at the bedroom door for hours with the milk in my hand and waited for my parents to wake up and drink from the milk even though my kids were crying from hunger and wanted to drink it. And Allah ordered the rock to move away. I asked them to always remember Allah even if they are at ease, so Allah remembers them in hardship.
4.Arabic: we learned how to connect three or four letters to make a word and how to break a word into letters.
5.we reviewed all the Surahs in the curriculum.
I would like you to review all of this with them as part of the homework for this week. It will come on the test.
Homework for this week , before coming to Sunday school:
1. Review MEMORIZATION of Surah: Al-Fatiha, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, Al-Nas, Al-Kawthar, Al-Nasr, Al-Kafiroon, Al-Massad, Quraysh, Al-ASR. 
2. Review the general meaning of level 1 Surahs ⁠( I sent it before on this group chat).
3. ⁠review the meaning of Allah names:
    Al-Naseer (ٱلنَّصِير): Allah is the One who always helps and supports us.
* Al-Tawwab (ٱلتَّوَّاب): Allah is the One who always accepts our “sorry” when we make mistakes.
* Al-Mu’min (ٱلْمُؤْمِن): Allah is the One who gives us safety and makes us feel secure.
* Al-‘Aẓeem (ٱلْعَظِيم): Allah is the One who is the greatest and most amazing.
* ⁠    Al-Lateef (ٱللَّطِيف): Allah is very kind and gentle, even in ways we don’t see.
* Al-Mujeeb (ٱلْمُجِيب): Allah is the One who listens and answers our Dua’a and prayers.
4. Review all the Arabic letters with your son/daughter.

First grade Surahs meaning

Al-Nasr (النصر): When we succeed, we thank Allah and ask Him to forgive us. That is we don’t brag that it’s because of us, it won’t happen without Allah’s help.

Al-Kafirun (الكافرون): We worship Allah alone and follow our own religion. Those who don’t believe in Allah do not worship the way Muslims do.

Al-Masad (المسد): People who do bad and hurt others will be punished.( speaks about the prophet’s uncle and his wife who were hurting him (ص)and other Muslims, and Allah promised these two to go to hell).

Quraysh (قريش): Allah took care of Quraysh(the tribe of Muhammad PBA) by giving them the best place, Mekka, the best water, Zamzam, and kept them safe, so they should worship Him.

Al-Asr (العصر): Time is important, so we as Muslims,should use it wisely: do good, follow rules of Islam, be patient,and help each other.

The actual study guide will be sent early next week, in shaa Allah.

Jazakum Allah khair

I am the new Quran/ Arabic teacher for your son/daughter. Replacing sister Nour. My name is sister Ban.

Last Sunday, we reviewed all the Surahs that we took throughout the year. We also reviewed the (GENERAL) meaning of each Surah. 

As a homework for this week: I would like them to review all the Surahs and their meanings as a preparation for the (end of year TEST) that will take place in the beginning of May.

So while many of the kids know the material, there are some who don't know the Surahs well.

Memorization of the Surahs assigned to the first grade is a requirement for graduation to the next level. We are going to work extensively with those who are falling behind, however the parent needs to encourage the student to listen to these Surahs DAILY ( for a maximum of 20 minutes). Also there are free online classes with IMAM Amro, that you can sign up your son or daughter to on the MAP website.

I am attaching a link for each Surah to help your son/ daughter to listen to.

Last Sunday: we had a quiz which all of the students were well prepared for!! Then we discussed the meaning of Surah Al-Nas, in general: I ask Allah ( the lord/ king/ God of people)to protect me from Shaytan. Who sneaks into the hearts and whispers to disobey Allah, and do bad and wrong things. This is for human and jene( as there are Muslim and kafir in both groups).
We then discussed the meaning of Allah name Al-Wahid( الواحد): (THE ONE AND ONLY)Allah has all the good qualities that no one else can have at the same time. So no one can be merciful/ kind/ caring/ just/…… at the same time, and no matter how you can be generous, you can not reach the generosity level of Allah, as an example.
