It is our official first day of school and we are starting at preschool level. After some lesson planning the first day was successful, with unplanned lessons learned along the way (on my part mostly).
We started with letter M since we have a lesson plan for Musa a.s. (from The Well Read Muslim
We are working on the book Allah Speaks to the Prophet Musa.
We will also go with harf meem from the Arabic alphabet to tie it all together.
Many of the activities that I have planned in the lesson plans are based on internet resources that I have picked here and there. I will try to mention the websites for reference and for giving credit for the hard work someone has already done for us in planning the activity or craft.
What I did to make the lesson plan is I first designed a table for the week in excel and I made many sheets in the same excel document with the same table. Then I just plugged in the activities I had already on hand, saved for future use. Some of the activities come from sister Umm An'Numan's The Well Read Muslim and her Lesson Plan on Musa a.s., then Confessions of a Homemaker, mainly from her Letter of the Week Curriculum, and some other website that are listed।
The unplanned lessons that I have learned is to plan something for the children that are not being counted in the main lesson plan. This was mainly geared at my 4 year old, but I was silly to forget his younger sister who was surprised I didn't have two of everything so she can share on the learning.
