Alhamdulillah, this is our tenth edition and we are very pleased to see the continuation of the combined format of ONE agenda book for both Madresatul Banaat Almuslimaat’s (M.B.A) and Madresatul Atfaal Almuslimeen’s (M.A.A) students. First and fore mostly the main purpose of the agenda book is to be used as a planner, to aid the student with time management, organization and study skills. It must be emphasized once again however that for our M.A.A students, parents and/or guardians must first look over the agenda book and then assist their children in completing the books on a daily basis. It would be beneficial for parents to take a few minutes each day to go over and explain the weekly hadith or quote with their children as well as review their homework assignments. At the end of the week, parents can sign and write comments in the agenda books after reviewing their children’s progress. The M.B.A/M.A.A agenda is not only meant to be an academic planner, but it is also meant to be an “Islamic planner” as well, as it also has very useful features in it such as ahadith and tips pertaining to both religious and worldly matters. We kindly ask that you carefully read the next page to guide you on the proper use of this agenda book as both an academic and Islamic planner, Insha Allah. On closing, I would like to ask Allah (SWT) to forgive me for any mistakes that I may have made and humbly request the readers to forgive me as well. May Allah (SWT) guide us all on the right path-to achieve success in this life so we can be successful in the life in the Hereafter Insha Allah. We are always open to feedback so if there is anything you would like to see changed or included in next year’s agenda edition, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss it in further detail Insha Allah. I sincerely hope that our dear Banaat and Atfaal students will benefit from this agenda book yet again and that it will motivate them and help them improve their study, time management, and organization skills, and more importantly also help improve themselves to become the best Muslims they can ever be. It is my heartfelt wish that our students can benefit from the Islamic knowledge contained within this agenda book, as I myself have once again learned so much while designing it. May Allah (SWT) give us all the taufeeq to increase our Islamic knowledge, and more importantly, practice it and act upon it in our everyday lives so we can become the best Muslims in the sight of our Creator, Almighty Allah (SWT). Ameen. Enjoy and best wishes for another successful academic year! Jazak Allah Khayran Sister Noreen January 2016 Vice Principal and Agenda Designer Rabi Al Thani 1437 HOW TO USE THIS AGENDA BOOK Listed below are the main sections and features of this agenda book, and how each can help for a well organized, successful school year and also help in developing good habits to become the best Muslims we can be, Insha Allah!

A students, a section for noting midterm and final marks can be found at the end of each semester/term (January and June) to allow the students and their parents to see the students’ progress from midterms to the final term; There is also a section at the end which students can use to note down their special memories for the year such as special achievements, class mates names. ISLAMIC PLANNER The agenda also has the following features relating to Islam: Continuing to following previous years’ agenda format, each monthly calendar page has both Gregorian and Islamic Hijri calendar dates and contains a useful hadith which introduces the student to the focus for the month; Each weekly page contains a valuable hadith or quote that, if pondered upon, should no doubt bring great benefit to the student; Each weekly page also has special tips/advice relating to the topic of focus for the month; A “My Religious Practice (R. P) Check” section can be found at the end of each day, where students are encouraged to check and reflect on their religious practice as Muslims with respect to the following: Performing salah-students should check off each salah as they pray it throughout the day; this will help them keep track of all prayers and motivate them to pray regularly and not miss any prayers Insha Allah; Reading the Quran-students should check off the Quran box if they read the Holy Quran that day; this is meant to encourage students to develop the practice of reading our holy book everyday, even for a few minutes, even if it is a few ayahs or a page; Doing dhikr-remembrance of Allah (SWT)- students should check off this box if they did dhikr during the day-even for a few minutes; this is meant to encourage students to develop the habit of remembrance of Allah on a daily basis by doing dhikr such as tasbeehat and astaghfar; students will learn the age appropriate types of dhikr for each grade from their Islamic Studies teachers Insha Allah; Doing good deeds-students should check off this box if they did good deeds. If they did any bad deeds, the good deeds box should NOT be checked off and they should note that they did a bad deed; this is meant to encourage students to be aware of their actions and do many good deeds and avoid bad deeds on a regular basis, to develop the habit of enjoining good and forbidding evil Insha Allah; Reciting Durood Shareef-sending blessings on our Holy Prophet (SAW)- students should check this box off if they read any durood shareef that day; this is meant to help students develop the practice of remembering and having love and respect for our Holy Prophet (SAW) and sending salams and blessings on him, Insha Allah.

ISBN: 978-989-54489-1-3 Visual Development Processes for a Multicultural Storytelling Tool Gabriela Sá1, Douglas Menegazzi2, Ana Paula Caruso3, and Cristina Sylla4 {gabrielasa, douglasmenegazzi, anapaulacaruso, cristinasylla}@mobeybou.com [Drawing and Video Games / Desenho e Videojogos] Abstract Keywords Visual Development, This paper presents the evolution of the visual development process for Multiculturalism, Mobeybou, a digital manipulative that aims at promoting multicultural Representation. awareness through creative storytelling. It presents children with a variety of characters, objects and landscapes from various cultures around the world. Here, we refect on three diferent approaches of the visual devel- opment, and on how to efectively create visual elements that represent a given culture, which have the potential to foster the children’s imagination and creativity. The frst approach was carried out by a single illustrator and was mainly informed by research on the web. It was time efcient and resulted in the creation of visual elements that may have been too obvious. The second one took longer, had more input from other team members and often resorted to pop culture as reference; the resulting visual elements were easily identifed by the children, probably because they depicted somewhat stereotyped representations. The third approach was a collabo- rative process from the start, that relied heavily on the opinions and insight of people who were born and raised in the country being represented. It resulted in a more complex relationship between the visuals and the culture they portrayed, which was potentially enriching for the viewer but may hamper the immediate identifcation of the culture.

Rise of the Veil: Islamic Modernity and the Hui Woman Zainab Khalid SIT FALL 2011 5/1/2011 1 Introduction: Assimilation/Dissimilation The Hui are a familiar sight in most cities in China; famed for their qingzhen restaurants and their business acumen. Known usually as the “Chinese speaking Muslims,” they are separated from the nine other Muslim xiaoshu minzu by a reputation for assimilation and adaptability that is a matter of pride for Hui in urban areas. A conversation with Hui women at Nancheng Mosque in Kunming revealed that they believed Hui to be at an advantage compared to other xiaoshu minzu because of their abilities to adapt and assimilate, “we are intelligent; we know what to do in order to survive in any environment.” Yet, the Hui of Yunnan also have a history of dissimilation- the Panthay Rebellion of 1856 took the shape of a Sultanate in Dali as Hui forces led a province-wide revolt against the Qing Empire.

  • Arts-Integrated Learning
    ARTS-INTEGRATED LEARNING THE FUTURE OF CREATIVE AND JOYFUL PEDAGOGY The NCF 2005 states, ”Aesthetic sensibility and experience being the prime sites of the growing child’s creativity, we must bring the arts squarely into the domain of the curricular, infusing them in all areas of learning while giving them an identity of their own at relevant stages. If we are to retain our unique cultural identity in all its diversity and richness, we need to integrate art education in the formal schooling of our students for helping them to apply art-based enquiry, investigation and exploration, critical thinking and creativity for a deeper understanding of the concepts/topics. This integration broadens the mind of the student and enables her / him to see the multi- disciplinary links between subjects/topics/real life. Art Education will continue to be an integral part of the curriculum, as a co-scholastic area and shall be mandatory for Classes I to X. Please find attached the rich cultural heritage of India and its cultural diversity in a tabular form for reading purpose. The young generation need to be aware of this aspect of our country which will enable them to participate in Heritage Quiz under the aegis of CBSE.

Through this period which spans almost half a century, substantive and wide ranging research has generated a fairly detailed picture of the varied nature and forms of homebased work, and the conditions of piece rated home workers in particular. Considerable progress has been made towards bringing homebased workers ‘out of the shadows’ through mobilization/organization/lobbying at national and international levels. Advances have been made in defining and including them in macro-level employment surveys and counting them, as also in documentation of a range of experiences through micro-studies. Theorizing around the role of homebased work in global production networks and in women’s employment have also contributed to widening the field, and global networking among scholars and organizations involved with women homebased workers has additionally facilitated solidarities across several countries.

  • Indian Sari As a Form of Tacit Communication
    Introduction INTRODUCTION India is emerging as a strong knowledge economy therefore globally people have been intrigued by India; be it the Taj Mahal (Tourists’ delight), Yoga (holistic fitness), Ayurveda (natural healing), Bollywood (Kitsch entertainment). Where each signifies the favored fashion and lifestyle trends; notably towards Indian fashions, apparel and textiles. India has a rich legacy of heritage textile traditions and wide range of ethnic costume traditions comprising versatile draped silhouettes and classic tailoring techniques; across the subcontinent, suitable to the terrain, weather and the regional socio-cultural influences due to various invasions and the colonial past. Indians have always taken great pride in adorning themselves and have always expressed their aesthetics through the clothes they wear, the homes they reside in, the products they use in day to day living. Besides aesthetics the products are a good example of design where form follows function. The use of indigenous materials to make all products has been the way of life. The shepherds have used wool from their livestock to spin superfine yarn. Learning to innovate further they weaved it into a fabric, used innovatively as shawls/mantles/kambals to keep them warm. This is the kind of innovation that is also the need of the hour in form of efficient supply chains and sustainable product life cycles. Innovations like these have been a part of daily life since generations. There is continued interest for classical Indian dress silhouettes, heritage textile crafts, accessories, and grooming practices among the western ateliers ever since the colonial past; where Indian cotton was the raw material for feeding the British mills during industrial revolution in the early 20th century & Pashmina wool shawls are a luxury fashion classic.
