baca buku = reading Malay books
read books = reading English books

Abang Yoji!

Posted by: coachsha on: October 12, 2009

On our way back from Ipoh, heading towards Taiping, we stopped a cyclist.
Reason:  The road was going uphill.  We wanted to offer a lift – he could put his bike inside the hiace and we’d take him to his destination.  (Aduh..mesti penat nak naik bukit.  Kesian dia..jom ajak tumpang) – this was the script in [...]

Ramadhan @ Casa Escuela

Posted by: coachsha on: August 30, 2009

Why we homeschool our kids?
We want to give them something different which we hope can make a big difference in their lives. So far, Alhamdulillah…Praise to Allah, we are seeing the different mindset and styles of thinking coming from our kids, especially the two most senior students…Muhammad and Musa. After 8 days of Ramadhan, they [...]

What do you think?

.
I saw this guy at KK airport and after some persuasion, he allowed me to take this lovely shot of his T-shirt.  Maybe he hated school or maybe he just liked attention, apparently he has never heard of homeschooling.
For the record, we at Casa-Escuela DO NOT HATE schools or anything close to that. We love [...]

Musa: No can’t do. Tak boleh la, bang.
Muhd: Why not?
Musa: Dah ‘expired’ la…

Homeschool Silly-bus: Word Games

Posted by: coachsha on: April 20, 2009

Mi familia enjoys word games tremendously.
In the van, we play Spelling Bee:
One person choose a word, eg: road.  The next person makes a word that begins with the last letter (d), eg: dirty.  The third person, yellow…and it goes like that.
Sometimes we play Category Game (when I was a kid, we called this Negeri-negeri):
Choose a [...]

My home, my school
By ALYCIA LIM
Education as a rigid structure? Many parents have gone the extra mile to customize a best-fit for their child’s education.
Homeschooling is not a foreign topic, rather it has been a method of education from ancient times, before schools even [...]

It’s a matter of CHOICE

This blog is about homeschooling. Our kids (Muhammad, 8, Musa, 7, Maryam, 5 and Sarah, 1) are exposed to learning & tarbiyyah at home, in the van, on the road. The world is their classroom. Their teachers are Abi & Umi, Tok Wan, Tok Wen, Opah, Sensei, their tutors and coaches, all the aunties and uncles in our big family, our friends and people from all walks of life.
We don't subscribe to a particular theory - what Islam has given us is simple and specific enough. Enjoy reading!
