lay the foundation for good composition
skills that could be applied in all learning situations. With seven children
to care for, I wanted something SIMPLE and fun to work with — both for
me and my children. The grammar that is introduced includes those things
necessary to the writing task. There are memorization assignments, oral
composition, written composition and practice exercises, Qur'an, Hadith,
and Islamic stories. I use this book for our second-third grade English
text, but it is also very useful as a first course for older, reluctant
writers. No teacher’s edition necessary. Everything you need is in the
student text.

For the Children's Sake
Umm
Sulaimaan's favorite!

in the works of Charlotte Mason and her philosophy of teaching children
using “Living Books”. This book is a key place to start as you are thinking
about how children learn and how we can organize their education to encourage
them to become Godly men and women. For the Children's Sake is a
book which can help every parent and teacher awaken the young minds of
their children and give them a new richness, stability, and joy for living.
It shows what education can be--for your child, in your home, and in your
school. |

A Handbook of Nature Study

The most complete source book for nature study we have ever seen. Lesson
plans and background information on hundreds of topics. Major Divisions
are Animals, Plants, and Earth and Sky. Topics include Birds, Fishes, Reptiles,
Amphibians, Insects, Wildflowers, Weeds, Trees, Rocks, Minerals, Weather,
and the Night Sky. 887 pages. Originally published in 1911. Some evolutionary
presuppositions, but not enough to get in the way. This is a wonderful
book. It is a teacher resource that can be mined year after year. The background
information and suggested activities are just right for grades 2-8.

Blank Sketchbooks
We use these blank sketchbooks as an integral part of our nature study.
Each child has one and records in it things we see in our woods or yard
and as often as possible, we encourage them make a sketch of a bug, flower,
leaf, or plant. Both books are heavy, high-quality paper. The canvas cover
book is larger and may be personalized with paint or markers.
