Started Calvert...

Recently I have enrolled my two kids in the Calvert Kindergarten, and have started out the lessons already. It's going well, alhamudulillah, and the kids are having fun!

Before enrolling, I really worried whether to enroll them in the same grade or in separate grades(1st and K), for they're only 1 and 4 mos apart in age. The older one can read most of the English sentences without help, on the other side, the younger one has just started out reading simple words like dog and cat. So their abilities differ a bit at this moment. And it took me a full consideration before deciding... but I thought it must be more fun for them using the same grade level just like they're enjoying the same level of Ad-Duha curricurum right now. And plus, it's easier for me to teach!

So I decided to go with K for both of them, and the 1st grade math for the older one, K math for the younger. I guess that was a good decision, alhamdulillah. We have finished some lessons up till now, and it's working well for both of them. The most important thing..., they're enjoying it!!

So here is our brief daily routine lately.

-BREAKFAST-

• Qur'an recitation(Juz Amma) using CD for about 30 to 40 minutes.
• check their hifdh progress
• check their Arabic Reading
• Ad-Duha Lesson

-SHORT BREAK-

• Calvert Lesson(except Math)

-LUNCH-

• Calvert Math(separate grade levels)

• Free Activities(crafts, coloring, baking, etc...)
