Super Camp at School

Image

On Thursday, May 21, 2015, school activity was quite different. There was a sense of worry, fear, and anxiety in the faces of the parents who dropped their children in school. Unusually, they come to school late afternoon. The children (4-6 years old) would follow Super Camp at school.

The afternoon activities were playing games, later they enjoyed 'afternoon snack time'! The Children were given a cup of hot sweet tea and fried bananas made by school chef. All looked hungrily, ate the snack that was served.  After the stomach filled, the evening call to prayer rang out. The children got ready for the evening prayer in the school hall. When ablution, they lined up. Once ready in rows of prayer, the teacher pointed to a child who would do the azan and iqamat. After that, they all read Asmaul Husna while viewing video about Asmaul Husna. Shortly after, the call to prayer Isha sounded. And they're ready to do Isha prayer and prepare to have dinner.

The dinner was with a buffet concept, requires children to take their own food that has been provided; vegetable chicken soup and crackers. The children would queue up and take the food. They ate in front of the class corridor. Ritual before meals; singing a song before a meal, washing hands and praying, after that the children ate the food that they took by themselves.

Once the stomach filled, children immediately gathered around a campfire. After all, then the bonfire lit and how amazement implied in the children's faces when they saw the fire. Sausage that has been pricked was prepared for roasting over a campfire. Each child tried it.

All the children tried to burn the sausages on a campfire. After that, it was time to eat the sausages. It's a beautiful night, the stars also seemed to smile decorating the sky. The star sparkles. What a great campfire. Last activity, before sleeping, the children brushed their teeth and got dressed with pajamas. After that they all get to sleep inside their sleeping bag.

In the next morning they woke up and did Subuh prayers. Then they had breakfast and exercise. After all completed. Children were ready to be picked up by the parents.

It was the first time experience for Vito. He did it. How proud we are! :)

Keep The Children Healthy during Ramadan

Shaum/Sawm is one of The Five Pillars of Islam. Ramadan (a complete fasting), we do the fast for about 29 or 30 days in a row. It is the Holy Month for Muslims. Those twelve years old and above must complete their fast from dawn to sunset.  I've started to teach my child to fast from the last two years when he was 6 years old, even he's just done his first fast for only a couple hours, at least he tried. There are many even as young as four or five are encouraged to fast for a few hours a day during Ramadan by their parents. It's to begin appreciating the significance of the Holy month of Ramadan. Alhamdulillah , I'm very grateful, this Ramadan my son now is 8 years old and so excited about following Ramadan completely.

Teaching English for Young Learners

(Personal doc.) Teaching English language to Indonesian young learners, especially those around kindergarten age and elementary student can be quite challenging. Teaching always has been becoming my favorite thing since long time ago, this is what I'm passionate about. I've been teaching since I graduated from University. Starting in 2011, I had the privilege of teaching English to students from 3rd to 12th grade at a prestigious institution. I truly loved every minute of it. Teaching looks simple, isn't it? You won't say that until you try it by yourself. You need extra skill when teaching English to kids. so, here are things you need to concern:
