Madinah Book Reader PDF :  FREE DOWNLOAD & PRINTABLE Free Flash Cards:  FREE DOWNLOAD & PRINTABLE Our teaching method:  For the initial introduction: I talk to the children about how important it is to be able to ask questions in Arabic. I assure them that asking questions in Arabic is even easier than it is in English!!  I tell them we're going to start with the two shortest and easiest ways for now. (haal & Aaa) you can now read to the children the new page (p.4) or have the children read it if they are strong.  I prefer to start with reading each phrase or vocabulary term one by one after me.  When they are confident with the pronunciation of the words. I give them the new vocabulary cards for the unit which we will write today (Link p. 4 new vocab.) They will write the vocabulary words 10 times or 5 times each from Sunday through Thursday. Take special care that the children are saying the word out loud as they write. Using all of their senses

Madinah Book Reader PDF : FREE DOWNLOAD & PRINTABLE Free Flash Cards: FREE DOWNLOAD & PRINTABLE Our teaching method:  For the initial introduction,  I introduce the page to them by reading out loud as they follow along so that they can learn the pronunciation.  I then have them read each phrase or vocabulary term one by one after me.  When they are confident with the pronunciation of the words. I give them the vocabulary cards for the unit.  They will write the vocabulary words 10 times or 5 times each from Sunday through Thursday.  These words will be written while looking at the illustrated vocabulary cards. They are reading CVC words in English but not yet on the level where they can read the translation for the more difficult words. So the pictures serve as a translation for them at this age.  We do NOT return to the unit in the book until they have MEMORIZED ALL of the vocabulary. This is the MOST IMPORTANT STEP in my opinion.  Food for though

Okay, the first question I asked when we finally decided we were going to come to Egypt is. Where are we going to live and how do we find a house 5,000 miles away? Needs:  1. You NEED to be here to find an apartment.  But fortunately enough for you, this need comes with some options. You can wait until you get here and do it yourself or you can have someone who is here do it for you.        Listen, searching for an apartment from another country is a problem waiting to happen. You can encounter innumerable scams, lies, deception, and severe overpricing.  What you can do before you arrive : A: Make  arrangements for a HOTEL STAY  or house share with a friend while you're searching if you are in the country.  House sharing is the cheapest option. Depending on your family size and relationship with the person, it may be better to just take accommodation in the cheapest hotel for a week or two.  Hotel stays can range from 250 EGP a night to more than 1,00

The Braiding Shop:  This is a braiding shop I just happened upon while having something made by a neighboring carpenter. No, there aren't any Egyptians in there doing this wonder weaving. They’re Africans and they legit looked like they snatch, and I mean snatch those edges. it looks like any shop you would find in the hood. I was completely surprised... I don’t know why for whatever reason I feel that by coming to Egypt I have fallen off of the earth or something and these things won’t be here... perhaps because I see so few black people or maybe it’s because weaving is haram. Something inside reads “Taboo... tisk, tisk, not here”. But it’s here, alright... in color and varying lengths, they do it all. But it was in the tuck guys. I went into an area that doesn’t even show up on google maps, just to go to this carpenter when I saw this place. No one is just going to find this. Even if I wanted to send you there, so you could get hooked up with some Iverson plats (yes the b

A Step by step guide, for a visa renewal in mugamaa **A helpful guide a sister forwarded from her husband.

Yourself. 2. Your Passport. 3. A photocopy of your passport photo page. 4.

You will likely need to use your elbows to maintain your place in line. What to Do: 1.
