Sticker Chart

Bismillah,

Here is the pdf for a sticker chart we use for the Early years. You can laminate the sheet so the sheet doesn’t get crumpled and torn up. Every time the kids reached one of the red gift boxes – they get to choose a present.

Arabic grammar worksheet

Bismillah,

So far the grammar I have taught or reviewed depending on the class and what they have been taught before is as follow:

  • The definite article
  • Detached pronouns
  • Attached pronouns
  • Demonstratives

I created the following Arabic grammar worksheet as an exercise to help review all these concepts. The lyrics are from an Islamic Arabic nasheed for children and they repeat over and over again. I want them to see that Qur’anic Arabic and the grammar I am teaching can be used to read short Arabic stories or understand songs which is more relevant at their age/stage.

So here is the nasheed:

And here is the activity that accompanies it:

Once the students have completed the exercise, it will be a fun activity to see if they can translate the sentences using previous knowledge and some help from me. Exposing them to Arabic texts at such an early stage is beneficial for them in my opinion.

At the end of this exercise, I’ll get the class to listen to the nasheed and repeat the words.

Juz `Amma `Ilm to `Amal Series

Bismillah,

I was inspired by 1st Ethical’s commitment to making Islam practical and practised by young Muslims. So in that vain, I added a section in the Arabic studies workbooks where we as a class brainstorm ways in which to use the Surah in our lives to become better believers.

The task is for them to do one activity per surah and present it to the class. It can be a craft activity, reflection, poster, a poem and the list goes on….

Here are the activity sheets I made, selected some students to complete them and present to the class:

Surah at-Takweer

Surah al-Ghashiyah

More will be added as they are made.

Hope you find these useful insha Allah!

Back to school survival kit

Bismillah,

Most teachers give end of year presents, but this year I want to give a gift at the start of the year. Something which will motivate them and encourage a classroom atmosphere that is not just focused on learning but where we can make friends and grow.

Here’s the pdf for the survival kit

I’ve put two on one page. Just cut them out and stick them into party gift bags. All the things on there are easily obtainable. I bought the party see through gift bags from ebay and they come with silver ties which are really hand. survival kit-page-001

Student self-reflection

Bismillah,

I saw this form for student self reflection and thought I need to make a few tweaks so it would be relevant for my Arabic class. So here is the student self reflection pdf. I think I will get the students to fill it out in the middle of the term and possibly also at the end insha Allah.
