Presentation for Thank you for waiting so long. All right is how
the amateur so sisterhood Ahmed has been. She's actually one of
the best students in the scholarship track classes. I think
that basically, of all of her exams are like 99%. And then if
it's 99%, I'm gonna get an email of how did that 1% happen. So I
realize mashallah, this student is so strong, and so the students
should be teaching. And now 100, after a couple of years of taking
classes at the scholarship level, now she's teaching fifth for kids,
and she does a very good job at it, and very thorough job at it.
And when, when your kids take class with
take the fifth class with her, you'll see that they do a very
good job. She's thorough, and like FNN f&m learned, basically,
because we're all trying to learn how to get to the student, we're
competing, we're competing against video games, we're competing
against a lot of things here, right? So we have to tweak our
game all the time, so to speak, and see how we can get to students
now has done this as well. And she's going to talk about how she
does this class. But her review session is all through Kahoot
quizzes, which I think the kids really get riled up on and get
excited by so F net, how to take it away, all right.
My God, all right, everybody see me?
Alright, Bismillah R Rahman R. So I'm basically, you know, welcome
to pick for kids and insha, Allah, what we're going to be doing is
we're going to divide the classes into two groups. Some kids have
taken part one with me before, so it will be an intro class. And
basically, we're going to be covering, it's very heavily
focused on salah and the Auto, and the advanced class is going to be
some of the other subjects that we're going to go over in a
second. Each class is going to be divided into a live session, which
is going to be about 30 minutes, we're going to have a Kahoot
interactive game, which the kids have responded really well to, I
think it keeps them competitive. And they review the material just
so that you know, they can be in the top five. And then of course,
the Google Classroom. Occasionally I like to do quizzes. I do like to
do kind of like an open book exam. One of the things that we do in
the class is we usually go based on Shelley's book, and I don't
know if it's going to be available in time for the class, but if not,
I'll be providing the kids with notes each week so that they can
review and go over it with their parents as well inshallah.
Alright, so for the beginner class, what we do is we go over
what is FIP, just kind of give them an example of an a little bit
of an understanding of what that means. And I think it's important
to kind of just define it a little bit for them, because it sounds
like a fancy word. You don't always know what exactly is this?
Foundations of faith. So we do go over heads to brain. And we do
Eman, Islam and xn. And go to give a little bit of an overview with
that. Then we go over the six pillars of Amen And what exactly
it is that we believe as Muslims, and what we're required to
believe. We have the five pillars of Islam, of course, the
conditions of fig leaf, or accountability, the philosophical
hudec. And the fifth pillar, which is actually a big bulk of the
class, and it's probably the most important topic that we go over.
There's a lot of detail and filth of Scylla because we do go over
things like jamaa Janaza prayer, the conditions for each, and
there's a heavy emphasis on things that are obligations, things that
are Nullifiers, things that are sewn in how to correct ourselves
in certain situations.
The advanced class is going to review all of that, and we'll
probably do that primarily through Google. It's one of the things I
like to do is I kind of included in the games, they review these
topics, and it kind of keeps them sharp. And if there's something
one of the things I also do is when you if you've ever seen that
when you play the game,
you when you when you get an answer wrong, you see like okay,
all the different options, and I try to explain why this is the
wrong answer why this is the correct answer. So while I'm I'm
actually going through the game, I provide commentary. So we go
through and then we move on to the next question. And then we're
going to be doing new topics as well. So we're going to be doing
in the next section that's going to be filled with fasting, aka tip
of hash filter food and manners of Amazon. Now if your children have
never taken
formally before, I would recommend starting off with the part one
because one of the things I didn't notice in my last class is even
A lot of children have gone to Islamic schools, they there were
gaps in some of you know their understandings. And it was good to
have an opportunity to elaborate a little bit more on it.
So I definitely recommend if you haven't taken it if their children
haven't taken it before to do that, if you have older children
who would be interested in sitting in and just kind of listening,
this is a great review. I mean, honestly, I recommend for
everyone, every couple of years, everyone should review, because
it's one of those things where there's always little things that
slipped through the cracks, and you kind of forget about them.
But I definitely think the only downside for older kids listening
in is that this is a PG version of. So there are topics of puberty
and loss and things like that, that I don't go over. But if you
let me know, if there are older kids who, you know, are just
following along with us, I might be able to provide maybe a little
bit of notes or anything for some of the topics that we brought with
that we, you know, glance over.
But I do think it's important that you know, kids, you know, I know,
it's like a dry topic. It's not necessarily the most fun for kids.
But it's really, really important. And again, it's one of those
things where we build,
we start off one year, we're, you know, doing these subjects they
might forget and remember 50% of it. And then the next time they
take it, they remember a little bit more, and the next time a
little bit more. So I mean, that's the kind of the methodology that
we're implementing. And in the meantime, we want to have them
have a positive
interaction with the topic in the class. All right, so if you have
any questions, please, please feel free to email me. If you have
specific questions. During the class. If your parents and you
want more information, and you feel like you don't understand
something, or you want to review something with your children, and
you're struggling, you know, just please reach out like this is a
joint effort, I highly recommend that the parents, you know, keep
on top of what their kids are learning. Sometimes it's good
review for the parents even so
if you have any questions again, please reach out to me. And I
think that is it for my end.
Thank you very much. And this class, mashallah, I've seen
students and heard back from parents who benefit a lot from the
thorough review that occurs every week. That's the most important
part. And I think like the most important other important part
that you mentioned is gapps. Many people have come to me, Oh, I
don't want to take we'll do it again. And I have some students
who are famous for this. I can't believe we have to study we'll do
it again. And I'm ready. Okay, well, name me everything that
breaks will do. And they can't do it. Right, or, namely, the
obligations versus the Sunnah. And they can't do it. So very much
like to tweet, people think that they're only learning to tweet
when they're reciting. Yeah, realizing it's when they're
listening. Same thing with fic, there are gaps in everyone's gaps.
And I definitely noticed that like, there are even, you know,
adults who, who don't know anything about such as the
distaff, or, like, that's important, or, you know, they'll
think you can make a deal with pool water or, you know, something
like that, you know, there'll be something simple, but it's one of
those things where like, these are such, especially the hot out and
solid, like, so, so, so important, because it's like our daily lives,
like five times a day, this is like, your Salah counting. So I
think it's really important that like we review, especially for
football, like every so often. And again, if the parents have any
questions about something that I'm teaching, or they want, like
further elaboration on something, I'm happy to, you know, to provide
it. And again, I know, like, there have been a number of parents who
have reached out about older kids, and my oldest son is 14. And he
sits in sometimes and he listens in and I know that there are
things that are missing, and I fill in those gaps myself, but
it's still the majority of the information is something that any
age can benefit from, and I look at the first students that took
his class last semester, they would be able to basically will
take the advanced class. So if you've taken either with myself or
or brother Ali, or I believe Sister, you are also taught it
last semester. So taking classes with any of us in sha Allah, I
would recommend taking the advanced class. If you haven't,
then I would really recommend starting off with from the very
beginning again, it's going to be reviewed, but there will be gaps.
I almost get like all the almost all the kids in my last class had
gone to Islamic school, and I still noticed that there were gaps
in in what they knew. So definitely recommend that
inshallah. All right, thank you very much.
I can say Allah and that basically
