Threads of Hope - Sadness and Solution from Surat Yusuf

My kids really loved “Threads of Hope – Sadness and Solution from Surat Yusuf”, a series of 7 videos by Muhammad Alshareef. Each video deals with different problems and gems from Surat Yusuf as to how to overcome them.

You can watch the videos on Muhammad Alshareef’s Facebook or if you want the whole enchilada sign up at Threads of Hope to get a pdf binder with embedded videos and notes.

Scholastic's Summer Steals Downloadables

I’ve been a rubbish blogger. Truth be told, I was away for a long while – my mum was ill. (She is MUCH better alhamdulillah!) Upon returning, I had several site problems which are really too infuriating to recount. (So I won’t.)

ANYWAY! I hope you have all had good homeschooling days.

I’ll be updating the pages in which I list curricula I use – I’ve found more gems for Mars and well, my smally Bear has also begun some serious studyin’! (You can see these pages here, here and here.)

I’m a little late with this but I’ve just found out Scholastic Teacher Express is having a sale! There are over 100 e-books going for a steal – between $1 and $5! My place is just about busting at the seams with books but I just couldn’t resist having a look-see. Believe you me, I am now sorely tempted … *sigh*

The Summer Steals Downloadables is HERE. It’s on till 31st July 2011, so hurry!

Go take a look … go on… you know you want to :P

Dear Internet Service Provider,

It has taken me all of 20 minutes to download a document of less than 10MB. I honestly feel like I’ve gone back to my dial-up days … you know, back when we had those modems that made those ridiculous dialling sounds? Yes, you must be looking back fondly on that good old era when you charged even crazier money for even worse connection speeds. You can’t really believe that the service you are providing actually qualifies as broadband connection. Now quit being muppets and fix the silly thing already.
