Hope you are all fine. Since Sunday school was closed the last two weeks, I don't want my students to forget what we are doing and I would like to give them homework to keep in touch. The last time we had class, I gave a test for Fatiha and a couple of students still need help. Please take the time to help them memorize because I won't be able to give them any more time. I will test them again on the Surah Al Fatiha next class then I will start a new surah(Ikhlas) inshaAllah. Also, please have your son/daughter practice writing each letters five times (Alif-Jeem).
