Lesson Sense

Bismillaah.

I’ve found a great website for those who love ‘themed’ lessons and those of you who need IDEAS for lessons. It’s crammed with ideas, worksheets to go with the themes and also free downloads. It is mainly aimed at lessons for preschoolers, but could be used as a basis for older children too.

So what are you waiting for? Oh, the link? Here it is:

It didn’t say it!

Last Thursday, we had a trip – with another sister, mashaa`Allaah – to a park near her home. It was absolutely beautiful, mashaa`Allaah and we plan to take our children there regularly inshaa`Allaah.

As we were ‘guests’ at the park, the sister showed us around and just as it was getting cold, she suggested we go visit the ducks. Alhamdulillaah, I’m so happy I took up the offer because there we just so many!

In all my excitement (I think I was more excited than the children), I sped to the fence, beckoning Junayd to join me, all the while exclaiming, “Look! There’s a duck!” Yes, you have permission to roll your eyes at me! Huddled behind the fence and pointing excitedly to a duck close by, I instructed Junayd to give it salaam.

“Assalaamu ‘alaikum,” he shouted.

He waited, eyebrows slowly creasing. Then he yelled,

“It didn’t say it!” With a look of disgust mixed with surprise evident on his face.

What could I do, but laugh? My little soldier expected the duck to give him salaam back. I guess I would, if I was three years old!
