My Family and Home

The first theme for the new year is "My Family and Home." Children learnt the importance of family and their own home. We also learnt cleanliness and adab in a mumin's home. We differentiated beween a mumin and non mumin's home and how we should be grateful to our Aqa Moula (T.U.S.) and his Mansoos (T.U.S.) for guiding us in the right direction. We also introduced the concept of animal families and home. Humans aren't the only beings that live in families -- so do animals. We discussed the different types of animal families, the roles of the animals in the family and the names for baby and adult animals. Teaching them early on the importance of caring for animals. Animals need to be respected and handled with caution. Teaching children about animals helps them have a good relationship with animals later on in life.

Children made an origami house and pasted their family photo.

Children learnt a rhyme about their family members. They shared the number of family members with their classmates. The smallest family we had were three and the largest went upto TEN! Each child drew their family!
 
 Children made a zig zag cutting and pasting few animal families and their homes

We also did a tracing activity on other animal homes.
