imaan net have faith homeschool sounder lesson plan february 21 2019 by imaan 2 comments despite my best intentions i disappeared again so i won t make any more resolutions to be regular about maintaining this blog a few things have happened in the past few months our homeschooling community in islamabad has grown tremendously alhamdulillah and there are now loads of activities for the kids peep is actually out of the house 7 days a week now busy with co ops and sports this has been a huge relief he has two busy older sisters and being the social sort craved company i am so grateful that that need is met the older girls are settled into their own routine now marz is finishing up her igcses she has done reasonably well no thanks to me haha alhamdulillah i am so happy and pray that allah keeps her safe and well on the next step of her journey bear is preparing for school after much deliberation tears and even more deliberation this is probably the best given her temperament and inclinations she has come very far as a budding artist and i hope that she will get the guidance she so needs one good thing that has emerged from the co ops for me at least is that i ve finally come out of my shell and led one if you know me at all you will know that i find it extremely difficult to take the lead in or be in the forefront of anything i much prefer to do the grunt work well i don t know how the heck it happened but i ended up conducting a 5 session workshop on william h armstrong s sounder twice it was awfully stressful and i did overthink things along the way as i always do but deadlines have a way of forcing you to roll your sleeves up and finish what you started so i did alhamdulillah in shaa allah once i ve polished the resources up i ll share the teachers guide kids workbook and powerpoint presentations for sounder we covered history literary techniques moral lessons and our deen to boot i love the book to bits and i think it has so many inspiring lessons so watch this space i can t say when i ll upload the materials though i ve stopped with the resolutions remember share reading time 1 min homeschool charlotte mason good reads sounder lesson ideas 1 sharecropping october 14 2017 by imaan no comments i am starting english literature with bear and am quite excited about it she is not a big fan of english like her siblings are but i hope to make things more interesting by preparing multi faceted lessons i thought long and hard about which book to choose for our first study then i came across sounder by william h armstrong a book we had done as a family read aloud when she was much younger sounder is an intensely moving story simply told so even the young can appreciate it yet so full of meaning and nuances that an adult cannot help but be drawn into it the characters just get right down deep into your heart mind and bones it is about loyalty and deep abiding love it is about loss and struggle above all it is about hope the story centres around a poor sharecropping black family who struggle to get by in the winter months when there is no crop or cash the father goes hunting with his dog sounder lately however the hunting is poor and he grows more and more desperate by the day the boy awakens one morning to the smell of ham cooking and for the first time in a long while the family has a decent meal there is an undercurrent of tension though and we realise why soon enough three days later the sheriff and his men barge in and arrest the father for theft the ever loyal sounder tries to protect the father but is horribly injured in the process and the family are left struggling to cope with this painful loss i ll go into the detailed chapter summaries and theme analysis in future posts god willing for now here are some resources you might find interesting before while reading the book the place and time are not specified in sounder a clever technique of the author but more on that later but we can guess that the story is set in the deep south post slavery around the beginning of the twentieth century slavery was abolished in 1865 and this was to provide equality under the law to the freed slaves however the reality was that slavery continued to exist only in another shape and form the freed blacks were unskilled and uneducated and too poor to buy land or seeds to farm so many stayed with their former masters as share croppers they would farm the land and share the profits with their landlords with no money for supplies the farmers would have to use their future crops as collateral and be forced to grow cash crops on their land to pay off debts they would not be able to grow food and would then need to borrow more money to feed their families this was in a strange way worse than slavery as sharecroppers they were in perpetual debt fear and isolation in slavery they at least continued to be fed and had a place to live we are reading leon s story by leon walter tillage a gem i found for less than 1 this is a first person narrative of life as a sharecropper in the 1940s when lynching and jim crow laws were a part of everyday life leon had to walk miles to get to school while white kids rode on buses he had urine thrown at him was chased by dogs and had to endure his father s killing by white people still it is a story of hope and perseverance here are some links i went through to learn about sharecropping black history sharecropping slavery by another name debt slavery the forgotten history of sharecropping still livin under the bonds of slavery minnie whitney describes sharecropping at the turn of the century share reading time 3 min islam homeschool free online islamic classes september 8 2017 by imaan no comments free courses logical progression

programmes and each small guest assimilates what he can charlotte mason we i have let many things slip i tried to take stock of the past couple of years and i find myself sorely disappointed i m not very connected with my teen s and tween s education i have basically set the goals and sent them on their way while i struggle with juggling chores and studies i do a rubbish job of it by the way not quite the broad and generous curriculum i had envisioned clearly so yesterday i had a conversation with my elder ruffians and we have agreed to revive the following 1 faith journal there is a genre of hadeeth literature called al arba iniyyat or collections of 40 the most famous or representative is of course imam an nawawi s 40 hadeeth i thought it would be beneficial for the girls to compile their own collections of 40 ahadeeth based on themes of their choice good deeds good behaviour etc they don t have to make it elaborate with illustrations or embellishments but they do have to write in their best handwriting and i have to appreciate the effort and work on not being a bitter old crone over their penmanship 2 nature journaling each day the girls have to draw or paint or photograph something that celebrates nature they can write if they want but they can also let the pictures speak for themselves the goal is to rekindle our sense of curiosity and wonder at the world let s face it we are so consumed with technology work ourselves that we are never in awe anymore why is that why don t we wonder at the humble beetle in the garden a creature so tiny yet tenacious that allah himself has fashioned and provided for why don t we contemplate and reflect i cannot draw for toffee so i am going to photograph my way through this i know it is a cheat and i know there are numerous benefits to taking the time and making an effort to draw but i need to keep things simple and sustainable 3 quran journaling my friend asrina has a scrumplicious idea for quran journaling that i am definitely going to steal she is doing a hafazan notebook after memorising a surah she and her children jot down the summary and vocabulary they also journal about why the surah is special to them and write out their favourite ayah genius ma shaa allah please do visit her blog muslim homeschool mum for more gems i have a few more resolutions to tackle but i have a propensity to overthink and overdo so i am sticking with these for now before i move on please keep me and my family in your prayers share reading time 2 min homeschool free online homeschool september 5 2017 by imaan no comments so i am quite the scatter brained mum who tries to pursue one too many hobbies online courses inevitably something suffers my house will start looking like a perfect candidate for how clean is your house and while there is clean laundry finding particular items becomes a mad scavenger hunt because it s in a gargantuan unfolded pile marz is getting exam help at a tuition centre in the evenings thank god because i cannot wrap my head around physics and chemistry but bear and peep need a little more structure in their days with the cleaning and cooking i always have yet to do lesson planning has become a frustrating exercise i always want to do more for them and end up getting bogged down by the nitty gritties so what happens i don t even get to spend time on the basics much less get to the
