Ramadan Around the World

Hi guys, today I wanted to share with you a free resource to go with the book Ramadan Around the World. 

After reading this excellent book we grabbed a map and found the different countries mentioned in the book. 

We also used our Treasures from Jennifer flags to match the flags with the country. 

I had the boys choose some activities to do for some of the countries. 

1. For Mexico we made Tacos

2. For Brazil we went outside and played soccer

3. For the USA we went to the Masjid and the boys were able to put some money in the donation box

4. We also explored a google map for different countries mentioned in the story. 

The boys also put together a flag booklet for each country. You can grab your free copy here. 

Suratul-Faatiha

Hi guys, today I wanted to share with you a math lesson we did while we were studying Surah Faatiha. 

Surah Faatiha is called Sab'a Ma-thaa-neey (Seven Oft Repeated Verses). We repeat Surah Faatiha at least 17 times a day in the five daily prayers. 

First, we talked about how many daily prayers we as Muslims must pray. We used our Learning Roots Salah cards. Then, we talked about how many rak'at each prayer has. My 4 year used linking blocks to build a tower for each prayer. 

Each child made their own Montessori booklet. We used crayons and drew how the sky looks during each prayer. Then, the boys add the number rak'at using this free printable. 

My 7-year-old added all the numbers together. To add more of a challenge have your child add the Sunnah Prayers for each Salah.
