Wa iyyaak...Alaikum salaam warahmathullaah Umm Sara<br /><br />Wa iyyaaki. Yes she likes worksheets, but if there is too much writing she does not like, but matching and colouring and a bit thinking she likes. Yes she loves arts and crafts even during week days. I try to include at least one every week, minimum being giving her to paint.<br /><br />But I have kept her water colours and arts and crafts things ready for her to access like the glitter glue, glitter, papers. After learning hours with me, just like your kids she will find some papers, cut, colour, paste write something like Abi is Ummi, Cow says Moooo Mooo, or expressions which are easy for her to write like Oh Oh, No No and make kind of small card and talk talk and play. I guess kids are like this. Sometimes she will get some water and find a colouring book and paint with water colours. Masha Allaah she is very much less messy, so I just let her to do this and she enjoys and I am left alone for few minutes at least! :)Umm Maimoonahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02862884358504802990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1092922087217340529.post-7353567666814598742011-09-20T05:46:27.311+03:002011-09-20T05:46:27.311+03:00assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi,
Jazakhillahu k...assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi, <br /><br />Jazakhillahu khayr for sharing everything. InshaAllah it will be useful for other in the future.<br />It seems like Maimoonah likes doing ready made worksheets. Does she want to do arts and crafts projects on the the weekly subject?<br />My kids at this stage as soon as they do their worksheets they want to cut, glued to cardboard, add something and start different role plays. Sometimes I'm amazed how they come up with different ideas using simple pictures and paper toys : ) and as always they love to do arts and crafts. That's why I was asking how Maimoonah feels about doing arts and crafts during the week?<br /><br />Other than that everything looks great mashaAllah.UmmSarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416090574374186082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1092922087217340529.post-48040139172190722592011-09-18T16:31:48.773+03:002011-09-18T16:31:48.773+03:00Alaikum salaam warahmathullaah Umm Suhailah,
Yes ...Alaikum salaam warahmathullaah Umm Suhailah,<br /><br />Yes it does take lot of patience, and even at this level sometimes I expect Maimoonah to do things independently bust she insists she will do but for me to be next to her : ) sometimes its annoying as I cook while I teach now as there is more work to be done I do both simultaneously! Patience Patience Patience, till we go to the grave :)<br /><br />No I did not add more subjects I think, its just that I have divided the subjects and I teach separately where as before I included all in one!<br /><br />I think so. We went to the park on the first day of KG which was also the first day for all Schools here after summer vacation. So a lady asked Maimoonah "Did you go to school today? She said "Yes". Lady asked "Which School do you go to?" She said "Home School". Lady thought she did not know the name of the school and continued "So what is your class?" She said "Kindergarten!", Lady said "O, so how was your first day in school today?", Maimoonah said "Very Good". End of the conversation.<br /><br />Later the Lady asked me so what school does she go to? I was like she does not go to school and bla bla. She was shocked, she really thought Maimoonah was gonna school!!! lol<br /><br />So I guess she feels a little older and gets very upset too when I show her certain things how to do, she says don't tell me I already know how to draw and actually cries... So I have to treat her that way too. Its just a learning process for us everyday!

As Salaamu Alaiki Umm Maimoonah :)
Lo...Bismillaah<br /><br />As Salaamu Alaiki Umm Maimoonah :)<br /><br />Lol@"So this looong post ends the firs week.." it wasn't long to me. I really enjoyed it Mashaa'Allaah. I think the post flies by fast when you are really interested- especially trying to better your homeschool technique like myself. So post like these works!<br />I know what you mean by "teaching this level as I sometime felt am teaching an older child.." Hehe. I'm learning that my younger ones take a lot of patience and that I should not expect them to show me immediate results because of how young they are.<br />Maimoonah seems to have gotten things well with the prek curriculum too. Mashaa'Allaah.<br />Now I learned not to expect the same results from my older two.<br />Now to your question at the end of the post.<br />I think your K curriculum is wayyyy different from the Pre-k. <br />It seems like the K curriculum is going in-depth on some things that perhaps the Pre-k touch surface on it actually seems like a rather nice setup. Like the curriculums really go hand in hand.<br />Did you add more subjects on this K curriculum?<br />Does Maimoonah feel that this school year is different?Umm Suhailahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11101820855062952986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1092922087217340529.post-21526930584276795032011-09-17T12:36:09.533+03:002011-09-17T12:36:09.533+03:00Alaikum salaam Umm Sayang,
