ASA, Thank you for attending Sunday school this past weekend! It was wonderful to connect with you and share more about our class. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a one-on-one meeting to discuss your child's progress, please feel free to reach out.

The students did very well on their first presentations! They received constructive feedback from both myself and their classmates, focusing on areas for improvement while also celebrating their successes. This experiece will help them develop stonger presentaion skills moving forward.

I was saddened to see that some of the girls forgot the classroom rules so quickly. It's important for us to maintain a respectful and supportive environment. I would appreciate your help in reminding them of our expectations. 

Best,

Jumana

Reviewed Arabic letters Seen and Sheen

Reviewed Surah Al Ikhlas with translation and started Surah Al Falaq first Aya with translation.

Assalaamu Alaikum wrb,

1. JUZ AMMA:

we have completed Surah Al Alaq and the students had a test today- they were asked to recite the Surah, and there was a written quiz about content/ lessons learned. Masha Allah, they did an excellent job!

They also were quizzed on the 6 Quranic words in the red table "Words to Know" on page 118 of Juz Amma book-  الأكرم،القلم،عبداً, الهدى، التقوى، كاذبةٍ

I gave them a handout with the rules of Sujood al Tilawah (the prostration of recitation)- it should be coming home in their green folders.

2. TAJWEED: Makharij

                          continued review of letters م،ب،و،ف،ث،ذ،ظ،ت،د،ط ،ز،س،ص،ل،ن،ر, ج، ش، ي، ض

                          Added ك،ق،ء،ه،ع

Many of them have already started implementing improved pronounciation in their recitation.

3. Allahs Names:  الهادى AL HADI (The Guide)

                             Continued الاعلى AL A'LAA (The Most High)-- look out for another art project soon!

4. Surah presentations:

Nadia- Al Zalzalah, Muhab- Al Falaq, loved their posters and how they explained important lessons learned from these surahs. 

Homework:

For Those who haven't yet done so, continue to memorize Surah Al Alaq. Let them listen to their favorite Qari on YouTube to help with memorization, repitition and Tajweed.

I will be entering grades for this quarter soon, so if your student couldn't get credit this quarter we can try for next one in shaa Allah.

Once completed, or even if they know some verses, remind your children to continue reciting Surah Al Alaq in their daily salah so as not to forget this.

next week 10/27 is Seerah competition, (no classes) the school has sent you the materials and the details. Hope our class comes out strong in shaa Allah!

Surah presentations will continue 11/3  with

Aliza: An Naas

Izma: Quraysh

blank poster papers should be coming home with them

they are expected to make a poster about the content/ main themes/ lessons contained in the Surah.

This Sunday in the Salah portion of class, we went over the positions of Salah 

1) Takbratul Ihram(raise your hands up to the year for men and women up to the shoulders and say Allahu Akbar)

2) Qiyam ( standing position)

3) Ruku (bow down)

4) Sujud(prostrate)(forehead,nose,palms of both hands, knees and toes touching the floor)

5) Tasleemat (turn your face to right-say duaa and then repeat on the left)

In Islamic studies we have started Unit 2: Teaching of Islam and we read the chapter called We Are Muslims.

Thank you for your cooperation and support, which makes our Sunday school teaching successful!

JazakaAllah khair

Feel free to ask me any questions.

No homework this week 

Salaam parents,

We started Unit B today with the first chapter about Shahadah. We also did the questions at the end of the chapter as a class together. 

For salah class, we tried to memorize Dua al Istiftah (starting dua of salah) and Dua between sujood. Please spend some time reviewing these duas with them, put them on youtube and let them listen to it a lot as that will ensure they have it memorized. 

No homework this week, I suggest studying the Seerah competition study materials all of this week so the students are prepared. 
 

Assalamualaikum,

In class on October 20th, students practiced the memorization and meanings of ayas 4-6 in Surah At-Teen in the Surah At-Teen Study Guide. The blank and filled out versions of the Surah At-Teen Study Guide are linked to this message. Make sure students always bring the study guide to class since they should follow along and fill in the blanks as we learn new ayas each class. In the study guide that I passed out to the students on Sunday, I accidentally left out the transliteration of the ayas (the arabic pronounciation in english letters), so if any student needs the transliterations for extra help, the study guide copies linked to this message have this added on.

I gave the students the Surah At-Teen Week 1 Homework, which is linked to this message. Students should either listen to or say Surah At-Teen twice a day every day this week, and a parent/guardian signature is needed for each day that they do this so they can receive credit. Students can turn this in on the day of the Seerah competition or the class after that (Nov 3).

Students also completed a Seerah Competition study worksheet to prepare for the Seerah Competition next week. I will link the worksheet and answer key to this message. This worksheet is just for practice and not for a grade, so it does not need to be turned in. I will also link the Seerah Competition study materials to this message. 

The homework is to complete the Surah At-Teen Worksheet, practice the memorization and meanings of the first 6 ayas of Surah At-Teen with the study guide, and practice reading from lessons 5-6. Also, make sure to study for the Seerah Competition! The Seerah Competition is on October 27th from 11 am - 1 pm at the Lakevue Athletic Club. The address is 124 Sylvan Spring Ln, Valencia, PA, 16059. 

Next class (after the Seerah Competition), we will pick up with lessons 6-7 in the Noorani Qa'idah book and do ayas 7-8 of Surah At-Teen.

If students do not have either the "A Student's First Guide to Juz'Amma" book or the Noorani Qa'idah "Master Reading the Quran" book, please let the office know so that the student can get these books and be prepared for class. 

Please feel free to email me (noorb2025@gmail.com) if you have trouble accessing any of the documents linked to my messages or if you have any questions!

Salam,

today we had our first test in class and Alhamdulillah all the kids did really well. Some younger students in the class don't read yet, so I did the test orally and Mashallah all the students got 100% score.
