Assalaamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatahu

My beloved sisters, brothers, and families of Islam may the All-Mighty Allah, the Exalted One grant us

and you mercy and give us and you the gift and benefit of beneficial knowledge Aameen.

Dear Parents,

Thank you for your interest in THM Sadaqa Group your Standard Salafi Curriculum Guide (SSCG) to

online homeschool assistance and tutoring. Since 2004, we have been supporting homeschooling

families and students, both through our creative curriculum usage and our online interactive distance

learning homeschool.

While reading through this curriculum overview, you can begin to imagine what a typical

homeschooling week might be like with THM Sadaqa Group online. We hope these materials give you a

clear sense of the style, content, and scope of our curriculum, and help you decide if THM Sadaqa

Group is right for you and your family inshaAllah.

At THM Sadaqa Group online, we offer a unique curriculum that is substantively different from other

educational role models. The student’s arousing interest of thought are encouraged with a sequence of

skills and carefully chosen authentic and beneficial text and materials which reflects the child’s

developmental stages and an unfolding sense of self according to the teachings of Quran wa Sunnah.

We seek to foster a healthy balance between the realms of intellectual development, emotional

engagement, and solid academic and Islamic accomplishments.

Our goal is to help children become more intelligent, capable human beings who are able to respond

sensitively and deeply to the world with sabr and understanding. We focus on teaching the deen of

Allah, so that the student will be able to find meaning and relevance in their contributions to society

and to this Ummah inshaAllah.

The lessons dedicated in the early grades are crafted with a sense of attractiveness and respect as the

child’s own sense of wonder leads to the principles and foundations of Islam (the natural fitrah) using

additional essential literary and biographical accounts from past and present scholars.

As the student grows, our one on one and personal engaging approach develops strong Islamic

principles, academic abilities, practical problem-solving skills and an ability to consider an issue or

problem from many perspectives. Teaching the child to think and act based upon proof and evidence.

Each year’s curriculum is structured in 36-40 weekly lessons, and the sample lessons in this overview

are representative examples of a full year’s curriculum across all subject areas. Within the THM Sadaqa

Group’s online curriculum, you, as the first Home Teacher, will be in a position to help your child make

personal connections to the curriculum. Finding relevance between the material and daily living is

paramount to understanding that Islam is our way of life. The THM Sadaqa Group online curriculum is

designed to be used in the home environment or online with an instructor and encourages meaningful

connections and relationships with the whole family, the homeschool environment, and the Ummah.

Guidance upon Quran wa Sunnah is done by providing the principals that lead people towards good and

encouraging them to perform good deeds and to abandon evil deeds. This is done through:

Truly Allah ta`ala says,

“And indeed you (O Muhammad ) guide to a straight path.”

As you proceed through this curriculum

guide, you will see mention of a SSCG

workbook or textbook. The SSCG

workbook or textbook is simply a PDF file

used to provide direction and instruction

to you and the student to help clarify the

intended lesson and what should be achieved from that lesson inshaAllah. You can start with one SSCG

workbook or textbook for each of the three semesters of the year, but your child may need more and

Allah knows best. You will find our packets of educational fillers extremely helpful at this point in time

inshaAllah.

The SSCG workbook or textbook offers suggestions and ideas for how you are to collect your child’s

work in one place. In the suggested folders, your child will store all written and drawn work from their

lessons in Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science from Academics.

An additional set of folders will be required for Aqeedah, Tawheed, Fiqh, Seerah, Arabic, and Quran for

General Islamic Studies and History. You can create a collage for photos of larger projects, individual

papers, and anything else you would like to include in the suggested activity folders. By the end of each

semester, the folders will be filled with written and artistic expressions of daily events in your child’s life.

As your child’s writing skills develop, a specific folder for a student portfolio will contain letters,

drawings, short sentences, math practice, stories, poems, and more inshaAllah. What a great

opportunity to watch them grow! A real example of your child’s expressions and growth

walhamdulillah!

“O you, who believe, save yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is men and stones...”

Exercise Four: What is the meaning?

We want to know the general meaning of words. Look at the picture. Can you tell what it is? If you said

mailbox, then you are correct alhamdulillah.

General meaning for mail: To write a letter and put it in an envelope to send to someone.

Activity: Writing a letter

Have each student write a letter to a companion. Put the letter in an envelope. Put the students name

and address on the envelope along with the person who they are sending it to. Place a stamp on the

envelope. Have the student put the envelope in the mailbox.

Spelling Test:

Choose five words from the list. Say the word. Use it in a sentence. Repeat the word. Have the student

write the word. Have the student write down the correct spelling for any misspelled words.

*Notes for the teacher:

You can also apply these concepts to other long vowel patterns for the letters ei. make sure you explain

that although the words neighbor and weigh have the letters ei which might make them want to say “e”

the sound is long “a”. Example chalkboard words to use are freight, weight, and eight.

Here is a list of words to help teach this concept inshaAllah:
