Sixth Grade |
Age group: 1 |

Main Focus: To give a well-rounded view of Islam. Learning Abilities: Varies greatly among students. Generally they are bright and inquisitive. Rational answers begin to become important in this age group. Formats to Avoid: Do not patronize the students or make them feel like little children. They must begin to be engaged on an intellectual level (not to intellectual, though). Preferred Format: This grade has a completed textbook containing all of the appropriate knowledge which she be taught at this level. Therefore, the list of what needs to be taught will be brief. The teacher will guide the students through the reading, one lesson per day, and then assign the homework exercises at the end of each lesson. Note: From this grade onwards, boys and girls Nasheed classes should be separate.
