CurrClick has a free Slavery in North America lapbook to download. By the way, it’s a multilevel lapbook.
This week has been so busy for me! We got a few new book shipments in for the next school year and some things for the classroom (more on this later, InshaALLAH), including a couple of surprises thrown in from the husband (what a nice guy).
It was also confirmed that there is no gestational diabetes this pregnancy (woohoo!)so I thank you tremendously for your du’a. I spent about two and a half hours downtown at the hospital waiting to get my Rho(D) immune globulin injection so I couldn’t fast that day. I hardly ate anything though. Once you get into the fasting mode, the appetite comes back a lot slower than one expects. I have to get these injections every pregnancy since I am Rh negative.
Here is our Cave of Hira.
It should be good with one more coat of paint. I am using it as practice for my daughter’s Qur’an recitations. Each time she has to recite a different surah to get some goodies for herself and her brother and sister. So far there has been a bit of candy and an assortment of dollar store treasures. They are pretty excited about the whole thing so I am glad that we did it. Now I need to find a moment to finish painting it!
I was reading through the posts of Happy Muslim Mama and found a link to this excellent Ramadan reminder. Enjoy!
You can use these curriculum guides for your visit.
I was wondering what to do as a daily activity (with treats of course)and AlhamduLILLAH, I think this is it. I scrapped the advent idea (you know, the one with the countdown calendar)because I am just too pregnant to be creative right now (and really feeling lazy).
This is perfect and there is still plenty of time, (InshaALLAH) to do this.
JazakILLAH Khair Ukhti!
We received a call on Saturday afternoon for a Sunday afternoon meeting with UCMAS Canada. I am so glad that it’s only a few minutes away. After discussing the program and seeing what my daughter should be able to accomplish – we signed her up.
There were a couple of students there for a make-up class (it started on Friday) so we left her there to start immediately. She was so excited, she was practically pushing us out the door (no need to worry about separation anxiety, lol). She stayed for about an hour and we were told that they were impressed with her ability, AlhamduLILLAH. I hope that she can keep up with the others because they are six years old and I don’t know what kind of training they have had thus far.
I am glad that we decided to go with Singapore Math – I think the style of UCMAS and Singapore will complement one another.
Each week, she is scheduled to attend a two-hour session and complete homework (no more than twelve minutes) each day. The initial sign-up fee included her abacus, backpack and workbooks.
There are ten levels in the program, each lasting about three months, as long as the student passes the assessment with an average of 70% or higher.
After a few levels, no abacus is used; the students must picture the abacus and mentally perform a variety of math functions, i.e., addition, subtraction, multiplication or division in a limited amount of time. InshaALLAH she does well – although I am already proud of her for trying.
I’ve been reading this blog lately and they have some excellent art lessons.
The drawing above is one that I did some time ago with this lesson. Lol, no one in the household knew what it was.
