Would anybody else be interested in a Muslima-focused version of a Not-Back-To-School Blog-Hop, where we could share posts about our goals, methods and curricula for Quran and Islamic Studies with our kids in the upcoming academic year?
I'm totally open to suggestions, but what I was thinking, for example, is that anyone who would like to participate might write a post on their blog covering something like:
- age of kids
- goals for how much you'd like them to memorize this year insha'Allah
- all the technical details of how you go about the process. How long do you spend per day? Do you use a tutor or an online program or website, or do it all yourself with your children? How do you balance review and new memorization? Do you have any kind of reward system?
- any questions or worries you have about it (children not focused, reluctant, pronunciation difficulties, whatever)
Then I'd host a linky here, and we could all share our posts. If that went well, we could do another one on Islamic Studies. What do you think? Please leave a comment if you'd be interested! Jazaakum Allahu khayr :)
Assalamo alaikum,
ReplyDeleteMashallah.. a great idea. I would LOVE to participate. I have done and still doing different things regarding Quran memorization with my kids over the past years. My methodology, style etc has changed at different times due to external situations, having more babies :):)kids growing up and simply with each individual child. I have lots to share and have been wanting to share on my blog for the longest time. Jazakallaho khairun for the push. I am too felt so many a times that not much is shared about this important topic in contrast to all other areas of our homeschooling. So please count me in and let's make a plan on how we'll do it as I will be discussing different approaches we took due to different circumstances and how they worked or did not work in the given situations Beidhnillah
Jazaaki Allahu khayr, I'm soooooo glad you're interested and I can't wait to read all about your experiences insha'Allah. I had been thinking of asking for only one post per person just so as not to scare people away from participating, but obviously, the more detail, the better for everyone! How do you think we should set it up?
DeleteAsalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah,
ReplyDeleteSis you sound just like me! SubhanALlah the Qur'an I worry alot about teaching the children Qur'an, as I have learnt Qur'an as an Adult (well, still learning!)
As I don't hacve that experience as a child myself learning Qur'an, its difficult to know or understand how my children feel towards how I teach them this important subject, so I love your suggestion tabarakAllah, I think alot of benefit could come sharig how how the sisters out there teach Qur'an to their children tabarakAllah!
Assalamoalaikum Ukhti,
ReplyDeleteI will start out by posting lil posts with different ideas for different age levels (things I`ve tried). Then you can tell me how to do the link up :)May Allah reward you immensely for initiating this and giving me push :):):):)
Assalaamu Alaikum,
ReplyDeleteI wonder how I missed this post sister. Inshaa Allaah you can count me in too, it is indeed a great trail for many of us, May Allaah make it easy.
