My preschooler and I worked on a fun craft while we were learning about the Adhaan. For Islamic Studies I read to him from the book Migo and Ali A-Z of Islam. 

We made a 'microphone' to help him practice saying the Adhaan. 

Material Needed

1. Toilet Paper Roll

2. Paint (We made our microphone gold)

3. Stickers for decorating 

Paint the toilet paper roll your color of choice, and allow it to dry. While you wait practice calling the Adhaan. After it dries add the stickers to make your 'microphone' even more special. When the Muadhin calls the Adhan, he uses his best voice and says it nice and loud so everyone can hear and join in the prayer. 

This is a simple and fun activity to do with your little ones. All the materials required are easy to find around the house.

Frog Unit Study

Hi guys, today I wanted to share with you our frog unit study. After completing the story of Musa the the older boys had a lot of questions about frogs so I put together a unit study. Here are some of the activities we did.

Notebooking

Compare and contrast frogs and toads. We used the book Frogs by Gail Gibbons and Nature Anatomy to help with our comparison. This was completed by my six year old. I wrote on the white board as he told me the difference and the similarities and he chose to write one of each.

The older boys also did a compare and contrast Reptiles vs. Amphibians. They also wrote a compare and contrast essay using their notes.

Frog Respiratory System

We also completed a narration page on Frog Anatomy, Life Cycle, and the Frogs Organs. 

Crafts

This craft was for my little ones (six and four). We made a frog fly catcher.

After learning about Pond habitat my son painted a pond using the book Under and Over the Pond as inspiration.

Language Arts

We also tied our language arts to this unit study. My four year old worked on the letter F and the letter P. My six year old used spelling words pulled from the book The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher. We loosely followed a the curriculum A Year of Tales.

We also did an alphabetical order activity using frog related words. 

Life Cycle

Along with all the activities we did my older boys did a frog dissection. They were grossed out and loved it all at the same time. We purchased our kit from Homeschool Science.

I'll spare you the rest of the images.

Arabic

The older boys translated and did copy work from a short reader Naseem and a frog. The younger ones learned the vocabulary word for frog and fly.

Islamic Studies

For Islamic studies the boys and learned three names of Allah- Al Khalaq, Al Bari, and Al Muswir. We watched a beautiful lecture from Shaikh Yasir Qaidh.

That's the end of our unit. It was a lot of fun and super informative.
