Yusuf's Workplace
This is what Yusuf's workplace looks like these days [we change it around often].
It includes:
-pictures to illustrate the timings of the five daily prayers
-a poster of names and pictures of tools
-his measuring activity
-his hammering activity
-a container of leaves we collected on a walk [and will be doing a craft with them soon]
-his daily schedule of things he needs to get done in the day
-a new calendar I purchased from Scholar's Choice recently
-and Ibby's toy parked beside it :)
Measuring
Since Yusuf is into tools these days I gave him a measuring tape to measure different things in the house. It was a little advanced for him but I helped him and he really enjoyed it.
Hammering
Baking Cookies
Today we made cookies. It was really fun! :) We got the recipe from here.
We made a few batches.. including one giant cookie, and a blue batch that Yusuf made with his cookie cutters. InshaAllah well take them to playgroup tomorrow to share with our friends :)

Egg Carton Math
After having breakfast yesterday I took the egg carton and put numbers 1-18 on them. I got a bunch of beads and tried explaining to him how to put the number of beads into each section. He didnt really understand so Baba came and put the activity into basketball terms which helped him understand. Thanks Baba!

Math
I think its time for me to invest in a math curriculum for Yusuf. MashaAllah he is becoming very interested in learning and eager to sit and do work so I think this is the perfect time. Ive sent out an email to the muslim/parenting/homeschooling mailing lists Im apart of asking for any recommendations.
Ive heard of and briefly checked out:
www.singaporemath.com
www.mathUsee.com [which although is a lil more pricey seems really good!]
Please do share any comments you may have = )

Yusuf's Day
I also got this idea from another blog. Basically its a schedule but not so rigid that it will be difficult to follow. I printed pictures that represent the major things we do in our day. In the morning I will put them on the not done side and as the day goes on he can move them over to the done side. So far he really likes it alhamdulilah.
