Dear Parents,

Assalamalaikum,

Class update:

We had a productive class today and discussed first part of Chapter 4 related to Shirk. We have also decided to add a public speaking part to the class wherein a student would present a topic of their interest to the class for about 5 minutes. The only condition being that the topic be related to Islamic Studies. This is totally voluntary and many students expressed interest in the activity. I will make an effort to get all the students to make a presentation as public speaking skill is good to have, in general.

Thanks to the four parents who joined the Open House today and signed up for the Parent-Teacher conference on November 19th.

Homework:

Please note that the homework that was given to the students today was:

Worksheet book:

  • Exercise 1 on page 15

Assalamualaikum Dear Students, CW: Students were selected and prepared for the yearly class presentation and we did a small quiz game while teaching them more about the topic of Iman/Faith including knowledge about different angels. Students have done a great job during class presentation , despite of starting out this school year. We loved all of their presentations and also they have received encouragement prizes from me. Some students have also received prizes on best presentations. HW: There is no Home work other than finishing their chapter 1 HW which is study questions at the end of the chapter. This HW was given to them on week 1. Please buy a HW notebook and use, that way their HW can be tracked well. They also can attach their HW papers in it. If your child has not done the project of presentation as updated in previous announcements, they will lose all 10 points. Just a friendly reminder that the the Work book exercises will not be HW, those activities are to be used in the classroom downtime. JAK

This week the group had their Fun Day and enjoyed playing soccer golf together followed by lunch and a short halaqa. 

Last week, on 9/16/18, we reviewed the first chapter of the 'Footsteps' book and had a good discussion. I attached our handout from that class.

Also please ask students to check email to make sure they are getting the group email that I am trying to use to communicate with students outside of class. If they do not recieve them, please ask them to send me a quick response at hdheen@gmail.com

Class will be divided into two groups for the two presentations (although I might have all students participate in both presentation - still deciding).

Stay tuned!
