Al-Huda School PA (Branch of Al-Huda, College Park, Maryland)

The program inlcudes Quran, Arabic,Islamic Studies, Language Arts and Math Refresher sessions for the ages 5 to 10. Students can enjoy the summer with daily sports and occasional field trips in a wholesome Islamic environment.

Quran/Arabic

This session will prepare students according to their level of knowledge. For those students who can read fluently and want to memorize from the Qur’an can select from short chapters from Juzu A'mma or chapters like Al-Mulk, Al-Waqia, Ar-Rahman, Yasin, Al-Kahf, Yusuf.
Those students who cannot read the Qur’an fluently will practice their reading skills with the teacher (Book: Qa’ida Nooraniyah).
There are no pre-requisites for this class. The class will be taught on a one-to-one basis.
Will also instruct basic Arabic reading, writing and comprehension skills for students whose first language is not Arabic. Book: Uhibbal Arabia (I love Arabic) series.
In addition to benefiting students who may not be able to learn Arabic language during the year, we hope to prepare those students who will be entering Al-Huda School during the 2012-13 academic year and teach them the basics of Arabic language.

Islamic Studies

We realize that it is absolutely important for our students to not just read the Qur’an, but also to live it. The Islamic Studies class will help our students know more about their Islamic heritage, and will help them learn more about their religion.
The Five Pillars of Islam will be covered in these classes. In addition the last week will be dedicated to the important topic of "Kindness to Parents". The classes will discuss these topics and the influences they have on our lives.

LA & Math

The purpose of this program is to review elementary level (2nd to 5th grades) language arts and math to prepare students for the next grade level. This course helps students strengthen their skills to excel in these crucial subjects.

For math, the class covers place value, fractions, addition, subtraction, division, multiplication and word problems depending on grade level. Homework is assigned on a daily basis. 3rd, 4th and 5th grades Singapore math books are used.

For Language Arts there are daily readings of grade level books followed by writing assignments. We will also cover grammar, including discussion of sentence structure, nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, and helping/linking verbs. There will also be some art activities relating to the reading assignments Insha’Allah.

Sections

This year, there will be two or three sections insha Allah:

• 1. First Section: For KG & 1st graders (ages 5 to 6)
• 2. Second Section: For rising 2nd and 3rd graders (ages 7 to 8)
• 3. Third section: For rising 4th and 5th graders (ages 9 to 10).

Sports

We understand that summer is a time where children are very energetic, and want to do fun activities. We hope that our Summer Camp will make this summer a very memorable summer for our beloved students. We will have some or all of the following activities during the summer camp and more, Insha’Allah:

• I. Soccer
• II. Basketball
• III. Track

Field Trips

To make the experience enjoyable for our children, we will conduct different field trips during the course of the camp. The field trips will be fun and exciting, and will help enhance the students’ Islamic understanding. Typically, the field trips will take place on Wednesdays/Thursdays, though this may change due to weather or scheduling reasons. To enhance this experience, we would appreciate if each parent can commit to volunteer as a chaperone on at least one of the Wednesdays/Thursdays. We would also appreciate if the parents can offer their vans/cars to transport students to the field trips. This will help reduce the costs of the field trips, make the trips safer for our students, and allow the parents to be closely involved in their child’s education.
