How to Set up A Learning Center in Your Home

I was searching around on the net and came across this book.

How to Set Up Learning Centers In Your Home explains how any home can make room for small areas or "nooks" that motivate and facilitate learning. Find out what learning centers are; their advantages and disadvantages; and how to get started setting up different centers throughout your house. The book also discusses basic guidelines for setting up learning centers in six different subject areas--reading, writing, math, science, art, and music--and gives helpful checklists of resources for each center. Even if you feel you don`t have room for learning centers, this book offers many creative ideas for making teaching materials more accessible and interesting to your children.

Question????????????


I have a question for my fellow muslimahs and bloggers Insha Allah, What's a ghusl/wudoo friendly hair style besides braids? I just can't do the braid thing masha Allah for one takes too long and two it's too hard for me to take down myself Allahu Alim. Has anyone read the new book out titled "Dangers of the Beauty Salon" by Shaykhah Umm Abdillah al-Waadi'yyah? I have not read it or got it yet Insha Allah I will.

Amazement of My Children Masha Allah


I am truly amazed at the growth in my children masha Allah. My son has been memorizing Quran consistintly since 2006 masha Allah and his ability to retain it all has amazed my husband and I masha Allah alhumdulilah my husband sorta put him on this learning schedulal. Most kids are watching cartoons in the morning (benifitting them in no way) before going to school or just sitting around. My husband and I felt that would be a good time to get his Quran memorizaton in, so every morning before going to school my son eats breakfast and does 1/2 hour with Quran listening to Ali Jaber recitation and repeating after him. Then on sundays after mahgrib my husband review that surah that he worked on for that week and gives him another for the following week masha Allah So the other day my son was washing dishes and I was in my bedroom getting dishes and it sounded like he(my son) was talking to his self because I couldn't really hear what he was saying masha Allah so I walked in the kitchen and I hear him reciting surah 55 Ar-Rahman that's the surah he was working on this week masha Allah masha Allah alhumdulilah I was soooooooooo happy and of course emotional... Allah has truly blessed me with two wonderful children. May Allah continue to bless them and protect them and keep them on the siratal mustaqeen Ameen.
