Teaching children Hajj and Tawaaf around a box covered in cloth like the Ka‘bah

Q: The school my child attends has asked me to dress my children in white garments, so that they can teach them how to perform the rituals of Hajj and tawaaf in a practical way but there will be a “Ka‘bah” (a simple big box covered in cloth) for teaching purposes only; is that permissible? They will make 'tawaaf' and sit facing the Ka‘bah making dua.

Convert making an effort to recite the Quraan in Arabic

Q: I am a Muslim convert. I converted to Islam 1 and half months ago Alhamdullilah.

I have a question about reading the Quran. I want to make it my habit. I would like to do it in a way that is the most beneficial for me. I don't know Arabic, I read an English translation by Dr. Mustafa Khattab, so reading random surahs (as my friend recommended to me) doesn't work for me because I can't remember its content. It would be better for me to read it by topics, so I can focus on one topic at at a time and do notes, remember more.

Is there any particular order of topics I should follow? If not official, maybe then your personal? I'd like to go from things that are general, to laws and details etc. In my Quran there is an Index that I could use to look for exact ayas.
