Assalamo Alaikum,

My name is Salam Beseiso and it is my pleasure to be teaching Quran to your child this school year. I am looking forward to getting to know your child and helping them succeed in their education, Inshallah.

Our main goal for Quran is to enhance the student’s engagement and increase their desire to learn, recite and memorize surahs with the appropriate Tajweed for their level.

We are starting with surat El Alaq and the first lesson from El Noranyyah.

The Quran homework will be once per week, and the student will be assessed continuously on memorizing Quran with tajweed.

May Allah protect all of us and make this year full of success.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact me by ClassDojo.

The following six skills are assessed and evaluated throughout our school days and are part of the report card:
responsibility, organization, independent work, collaboration, initiative, and self-regulation.
Students are made aware of these six skills and they are reminded of them whenever there is an opportunity to do so.
We use the six images below to explain our expectations of the 'Learning skills and work habits' to our grade one students:

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The development of learning skills and work habits is an integral part of a student's learning. To the extent possible, however, the evaluation of learning skills and work habits, apart from any that may be included as part of a curriculum expectation in a course, should not be considered in the determination of a student's grades.

Phonics – each letter of the alphabet is introduced in its own lesson with a focus on reinforcing letter-sound relationships and highlighting the alphabetic principle.

Fluency – children develop the rapid word recognition skills essential for reading fluency, including learning to instantly recall crucial sight words that make up 50% of elementary level books.

Vocabulary – new words are introduced with visual support to provide context and increase word knowledge and retention.

Comprehension – reading for meaning is the end goal of Reading Eggs. The program includes over 2,000 e-books, each with their own comprehension quiz.

“Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. His light is like a niche in which there is a lamp, the lamp is in a crystal, the crystal is like a shining star, lit from -the oil of- a blessed olive tree, -located- neither to the east nor the west, whose oil would almost glow, even without being touched by fire. Light upon light! Allah guides whoever He wills to His light. And Allah sets forth parables for humanity. For Allah has -perfect- knowledge of all things. (24:35)
