Assalamu alaykum dear parents,
I hope everyone is doing well.
*Last Sunday:*
We started by reviewing the greeting dialogue in Arabic. We added a sentence to it which is :
Q:Kum omruka(omruki)?: how old are you ?
A: omri…….sana: my age is  …..years.
We reviewed the numbers in Arabic and continued till 10:
1: wahid 
2: ithnan
3: thalatha 
4: arba’a
5: khamsa 
6: sitta 
7: saba’a
8: thamaniya 
9: tis’a
10: ashra
We learned that these numbers comes frequently in Quran. It’s good to understand them so we understand more about Quran right away without the need for much translation!
We also went over the letters from Alif(أ) to (ق) connecting each letter to a word with a tone. 
Then we introduced س ش ص ض in their different shapes in the word and started learning how to connect and read two letters.(*every student in class participated in these activities)*
We lastly worked in our class copybook.
**Homework* 
The kids need to listen to the short *videos* of Arabic numbers, letters + words, and the dialogue, *DAILY*!
Help your son/ daughter memorize the Arabic numbers.

Assalamu alaykum dear parents,
I hope everyone is doing well.
Last Sunday: we reviewed Surah Al-Fatiha and we started a new Surah: *Surah Al-Ikhlas (سورة الإخلاص)*
Surah Al-Ikhlas teaches us that Allah is One and there is no one like Him.
-Allah is the Only God.
-Allah does not need anyone, but everyone needs Him.
-Allah has no children, and He has no parents.
-Nothing and no one is like Allah.

*The main lesson:* We worship Allah alone because He is One, and He is the Most Perfect.
*Remember*:
Allah is One. We love Him, worship Him, and ask Him for help.
Please go over the tafseer with your kid *daily*, and encourage them to listen to the *sheikh* 
Jazakum Allah khair

Last Sunday: 
We started Surah Al-Layl(the night).
We went over the Surah with brief summary of the meaning of the whole Surah: In the first 3 ayah, Allah is swearing ( the letter و is a sign of swearing in Arabic) by 3 of the many amazing things that we have around us as a sign of his greatness and infinite ability. These are the Night, Day, and creation of male and female. Allah swears by these magnificent creations that the work of human in life is different, people do not do same thing in life. Some do good deeds and will be helped by Allah, others do wrong and will have hardship in their lives. And there is a punishment or heaven afterlife for both sides.
Then we listened to the whole Surah from the sheikh many times, and focused on memorizing the first 4 ayah. We also went over the vocabulary list in the book.

Homework:
Please encourage your son to/ daughter to listen *daily* to the Surah Al-Layl, this ease the memorizing process. 
Also help them review Surah Al Alaq, Al-bayyenah (from last year). They have forgotten some of it.

Assalamualaikum,

In class on October 18, students reviewed vocabulary from previous classes and completed a study guide to prepare for the test, which is linked to this message. This Sunday, November 1, will be the test, InshaAllah. It will cover the Arabic vocabulary we have practiced so far, connecting and separating Arabic letters into words, and Madd Laazim. The letters included in the written portion are: ا ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ ر ز  

After reviewing students’ classwork, I’ve decided to slow down and spend more time learning the different forms of each letter and how letters connect. Because of this, the test will be easier than the classwork we’ve done, so please encourage your child to study without worrying. For this first test, I’m mainly looking for them to make an effort and show what they’ve learned so far. 

To help study for the test, I have attached a video and an extra practice worksheet and answer key. The extra practice worksheet is a simpler way to review joining and separating letters. The video focuses on the phrases we have practiced, so students can listen and practice saying them at home.

This class is new, and I welcome feedback. Please feel free to message me with any thoughts about the class or how it is going for your child.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Assalamualaikum,

In class on October 18th, students learned ayas 4-5 of Surah At-Teen with the Surah At-Teen study guide. Students should keep practicing these ayas and their meanings/vocabulary at home.

Assalamu alaykum dear parents, I hope you all are doing well.


**Last Sunday:* *
We reviewed Surah Al-Fatiha, we reviewed Allah names: alrahman and Al-Raheem: Allah is the most merciful, kind, and he is the one giving all good things in my life. We also reviewed the whole meaning of the Surah: it’s 2 parts: first I give thanks and appreciation to Allah, the god of all people, animals, seas, lands, mountains. Second part: I ask Allah to help me be a good Muslim: someone who doesn’t lie, good with others and listen to parents, why? So I can go to Jennah, then we explained what they can have in Jennah.
Please go over this material with your son/daughter, the more they hear it the more they know it. They learn a lot by *repetition*.

We go over the Arabic letters again during Quran class. First as a way to change the subject so the kids don’t feel bored, and also to increase their knowledge and focus more on learning the letters. They know now أ ب ت ث 

Jazakum Allah khair.

*This Sunday*:
The kids have Seerah competition, a very lovely and exciting event that we all are going to learn and remember the life and legacy of prophet Muhammad and companions.

Assalamu alaykum dear parents, I hope you all are doing well.


*Last Sunday:*


We reviewed *verbally* the greeting dialogue in Arabic. We connected the letters, each one to a word and said them together in class with some tone, so we can remember them. It’s:
أ   Alif  Asad

ب Baa  battah 

ت Taa   taj 

ث Thaa. Thaalab 

ج. Jeem   Jazar

ح   Haa(حaa)    Hatab

خ  Khaa.  Khawkh 

د   Dal     Dub

ذ   Thal   tharah 

ر    Raa    Rihla

ز   Zaay   Zawraq

Then we learned the first five numbers in Arabic:
1  Wahid 
2  ithnan 
3  thalathah  
4  arba’ah
5  khamsah

Each one of these numbers has come in Quran. If the students understand the number, then they can understand that part of  Quran easier and it would be more familiar to them.

We then learned how to connect two letters in Arabic writing . We worked on that in work sheets in class as well.
4 students took the test last class.

This Sunday: the kids are having a Seerah competition, a lovely and exciting event. We all are going to learn and remember the life and legacy of prophet Muhammad and companions.

Al-A‘lā (الأعلى): The Most High
Allah is above everything in greatness, power, and honor. No one is greater than Allah.
Al-Hādi: Allah guides us.
As-Samī‘: Allah hears everything.

Assalamualaikum,

In class on October 4th, students had a substitute and reviewed and practiced our Arabic dialogue vocabulary. They also learned new Arabic words such as "open the door" and "close the door." They practiced handwriting in Arabic by writing ayas from the Quran. I attached the packet that the children completed in class with the vocabulary and writing practice. Students that did not finish this packet in class should finish it by this Sunday.

This Sunday, InshaAllah I will also collect the students' homework from last week, which is from the Arabic Letters and Words Practice Packet. They should have the first 4 pages (after the example page) completed. These 4 pages are: page alif baa taa, page thaa jeem haa, page khaa daal thaal, and page raa zai. I will grade the first 4 pages and give them back so students can learn from their mistakes before they complete the rest of the pages.

It is important that students continue practicing the Arabic vocabulary so they can be comfortable with saying these words and their meanings.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Assalamu Alaykum dear parents,
I hope you are doing well.
This Sunday, we have a test in Arabic and in Quran.
I am sending a study guide for you to print and encourage your kids to practice on it. There is a verbal part that might need a little help from you, and the kids will be perfectly fine at class.
For the *Quran test*: practice with them reciting Surah Al-Fatiha, and encourage them to listen to the Shaikh every day. They need to know the general meaning of the Surah: it’s basically 2 part: first one , I thank Allah, the most merciful and kind to me, the second part is: asking Allah to help me be a good Muslim so that I go to jannah. I need them to know the meaning of Al-Rahman and Al-Raheem: the most merciful. ( we will continue practicing this Surah for another couple classes).
For *Arabic test*: I am sending a study guide to practice.
*NOTE*: if your child is new to class, or was absent , there is no problem. Just encourage them to do their best and support them, and they will be fine in both tests .

Many of the kids have attended my class last year, they know that if they prepare the study guide well, then they will be relaxed and confident in the test, and they will have excellent grades. 
Please support them in preparation, and send them happy to class on Sunday. They will get candy and a squishy after the test, which they love.
*Note*: I have 3 students: Myra, Amal, Taha: they joined KG this year, I have a different Test study guide for them, which I am sending on the Quran KG WhatsApp group.
