The Procrastinator gets to work!

Yes, you read right, I’ve finally got some work done with projects I had begun or intended to begin. No, don’t get too excited, I didn’t design them myself, nor are they the Sandpaper letters I began way back in… May (gosh it was THAT long ago?!).

I printed these great Arabic bingo card thingys from Umm Sadiqa’s website and finally managed to laminate and cut them all out mashaa`Allaah [note to self: laminator needs to be added to Schooling Essentials list]. They are really nice mashaa`Allaah.

I also printed, laminated and cut out a little colour matching puzzle thing I found online. I can’t seem to find the bookmark on my laptop, so I’ll check my PC and see if I bookmarked it there. I’ll update this post if I do. I actually started this project ages ago, but never found the energy to finish it because of how much cutting it involves. I will post pics inshaa`Allaah (when Abu J hands the camera back!)

Links & Bookmarks

I have SO many homeschooling links bookmarked on my PC that it’s becoming ridiculous! Really…  there are over 50 links I think and I don’t know what to do with them all!

So you’re probably thinking, ‘why don’t you share it with us then’, yeah I was getting to that bit. Inshaa`Allaah I plan to add another page with all the links, but don’t think they are exhaustive though. There are more out there than can fit onto a blog page. Inshaa`Allaah I will categorise them for your convenience (or maybe mine) and I will post a ‘heads up’ when I’ve actually done it inshaa`Allaah. So don’t forget to check back here.

What’s Your Name?

Cute conversation, mashaa`Allaah between Junayd and his father.

Abu J: Baba, what’s your name?

J: Junayd.

Abu J: Junayd what?

J: Junayd Muslim.

**no, his surname is NOT ‘Muslim’, nor have I indoctrinated him to believe so. Infact, I don’t even recall ever saying to him: “Junayd, you’re a Muslim.” Mashaa`Allaah a gift from Allaah!**

Description from Publisher:

The “Prophets sent by Allah” series is a collection of 15 delightful rhyming storybooks for younger readers. A wonderful introduction for impressionable young minds to get to know and love the major Prophets mentioned in the Qur’an. Simple full-colour illustrations accompany the rhyming poetry which is fun to read and surprisingly easy to remember. Each book is loaded with Islamically accurate information and contains +an “Islamictionary” (a simplified children’s glossary) to explain Arabic and Islamic words and concepts. Kids of all ages will love to read these morally uplifting books over and over again.

 

Umm Junayd’s Comment:

When I first came to know of these books I was delighted – something ‘deeni’ in poetry form? When I actually saw the books I bought (two of) them immediately. As a writer of children’s books in poetry form (albeit unpublished) I was sure that they would be entertaining. And so they are mashaa`Allaah. I learnt some new things myself!
