Assalamualaikum,

In class on November 3rd, students finished Surah At-Teen - they practiced the memorization and meanings of ayas 6-8 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. Students also practiced reading in lesson 6 in the Noorani Qa'idah Book. I passed back Surah Al-Qadr tests to students that were in class.

Students that have not turned in Surah At-Teen Week 1 Homework should do so as soon as possible (linked to this message). I also gave the students the Surah At-Teen Week 2 Homework (linked to this message). For both of these assignments, 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. 

The homework is to complete the Surah At-Teen Worksheets (1 and 2), practice the memorization and meanings of all ayas in Surah At-Teen with the study guide, and practice reading from lesson 6 (they should be proficient with madd, harakat like fatha doma kasra, and tanween). 

Next class, we will have a review day for Surah At-Teen and practice lessons 7-8 in the Noorani Qa'idah book.

November 17th is the test for Surah At-Teen. It will include the memorization and meanings and background of Surah At-Teen as shown in the study guide, and also lessons 5-8 in Noorani Qa'idah book.

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!

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

                             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

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

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!
