JOŠANICA
During January we had 9 lessons, that is 36 hours in two groups. At the second half of the month, two students from the younger group finished with the arabic lettes and began reciting the Holy Qur’an. However, they are still in the younger group because of the program. Now, we have 13 older students reciting Qur’an and these two from the second group, 15 in total.
Also, taking into consideration that January is the month of school break, additionally prolonged because of the loads of snow, we added one more term for reciting Qur’an and learning Arabic letter. This term is on Fridays after salatul-asr. As usually, a lot of children comes.
Besides the hours used for the following practice, repetition and production of the learnt, during January we worked on the following themes:
