Half over now...

Now that a half of the Ramadan is over... It' s really going fast.

I'm trying to recite one Juz a day so that I'll be able to finish the whole Quran by the end of Ramadan, and trying to learn some new things whenever I have some time.

Children are working on hifdh almost eveyday, mashaAllah, they have memorized 5 new suwar each so far. As for fasting, they fasted for 3,4 days, but since they're still small, we, as parents decided that was enough for thier practice. But children insist on fasting again, so inshaAllah, we might let them fast again for a few days more...

Since it's Ramadan, I try to make some Ramadan atmosphere here. I decorated the classroom, and I let the children make Zakaat boxes with paper clay so that they can collect some coins in them. And they have learned some concepts of lunar cycles, also. We're not doing Calvert for now, but continueing Ad-Duha. So the Eid should be here soon, my husband asked a package of clothes which would include clothes for a whole family. I'm looking forward to it!!

Happy Ramadan to everyone...!!

Ramadan Tree


I have made this Ramadan Tree. I got the "It's Ramadan" letters from TJ Ramadan site.

The kids will paste a leaf for each day they fast, and a fruit for each surah they momorize.


Hope it will be filled with lots of leaves and fruits at the end of Ramadan, inshaAllah...

Fanoos


We made these a few days ago. We have made some other things, too. MashaAllah, TJ Ramadan is a great site, and I'm getting lots of ideas from it,alhamdulillah!

Ramadan Kareem!

So the Ramdan has started already!

It was the first day of Ramadan here in Japan. Our two girls have fasted throughout the day, mashaAllah! As for the homeschool, we will stop the Calvert for a while, and concentrate on the Islamic studies, inshaAllah. We will continue with the Ad-Duha curricurum, do more Quran reading, and some coloring acitivities with Islamic themes, inshaAllah.

We have set up some Ramadan goals for the kids.
They are
1)Memorize Juz Amma(for the younger daughter, a half of it)
2)Learn how to make salaat by self
3)Try to fast as much as they can

Hope they will do their best to establish thier goals, inshaAllah.

And as for me, I'd like to read a whole Quran, work on my hifdh, and get more Islamic knowledge, inshaAllah.

Let this Ramadan be a blessed month for every muslims, ameen!
