Ramadan Decorations

This year I wanted to make Ramadan extra special by putting up decorations.  Nuri and I made lanterns.  I put up lights and a Ramadan Calendar. The lantern was very easy to create you can find instructions here. A simple google search how to make lanterns and you can find lots of variations.  We purchased our lights from Ranoon. Did you decorate?

ABC'S

 We recently began working on identifying our letters.  Some things we did were make "A" out of play dough, identify the letter A in magazines and cut them out, read stories focusing on letters, watch youtube videos on the alphabet. We also used the environment as our classroom.  When outside I point out the focus letter on signs, and objects in our environment.  Now my booba does this on her own.  She will point the a letter say it and then say the sound it makes.

Quran Memorisation (Hifz) and Revision Software - My Tracker Dashboard | QuranTracker.com

I have tried several different Quran trackers, this one is my Favorite! It has attractive colors and is user friendly.  What is great is that you can track your progress ayat by ayat and not just by the whole surah.  My favorite part is that you can schedule your goals for each surah and for revision of surahs you have learned.  This feature makes my life much easier as in the past I would record my goals on Microsoft word and my phone calendar, now I can have everything in one place.  Some other nice touches are the variety of Qaris and the tracker which tells you how much of the Quran and Juz you have memorized.  To top it all off it is FREE! Allhumdullilah, enjoy and reach your goals!

Great Find: Arabic Magnets!

WE LOVE ESTY!  Esty is a site where you can buy unique handmade items.  We have found many goodies here such as a customized name puzzle for my boobala.  Today we came across Arabic Magnets!  I found three different sellers. We purchased ours here, they were cute and affordable.  These were a little more pricey but very cute and versatile.
