Time for Books

Yesterday was their visit to Jambi Department for Library and Archives. We dropped the boy in front of the gate, gave him some kisses and hugs, and the mommy (finally) brought him to his teacher at the lobby. Well...the moment when our hand in hand is always precious ya know.


When I picked him up at 10, he did not tell me much about his activity in the library. He just informed that he found a book of Moses. Did he read it? No, he merely saw the pictures in every page and totally ignored the stories below it, but he confidently told the story of  the Moses and how the Pharaoh's chariots and his troops drowned in the Red Sea. I could imagine the way he acted as a storyteller. Did he sing the soundtrack of the tragedy? Could be. Hahaha...! Frankly, he becomes proficient imitating the song with the assistance of youtube. It is in Arabic. 



Anyway, it is a good idea to bring kindergarten students to visit public places, such as library, museum, airport, factory, zoo, farm, etc. They will learn much by seeing all the people who take part in those places and how the places run for public importance. This activity will stimulate their critical thinking skills through their questions concerning to the places they visit.


So, I do hope this visit will be a good beginning and the next visits will be more challenging for the students. I also would like to thank your lucky stars, the super-duper teachers, who patiently managed the kiddies. I don't know how this happened without you all there.  (ID)

Alhamdulillah sudah ditamatkannya Iqra 1 semalam di bilangan usianya yg baru 4 tahun 3 bulan 11 hari.  Sudah dengan lancar dibacanya seluruh deretan huruf Hijaiyah dengan susunan runut, acak, maupun dr belakang. Bukan hal yg istimewa utk Musa sang Qori dari Bangka Belitung mungkin, tetapi ini menjadi berkah luar biasa untuk kami. Semoga Allah selalu memudahkanmu untuk menyerap ilmu-ilmu Islam berdasarkan Quran dan teladan Rasulullah ya, Nak. Semoga ilmu-ilmu itu nanti senantiasa menjadi suluh yg menerangi setiap langkahmu dlm menjalani kehidupan ke depan dengan atau tanpa ayah bunda. Semoga juga ilmu itu tak hanya menjadikanmu kaya sendiri, tetapi membuat orang-orang disekelilingmu pun merasakan manfaatnya karena ilmu yg bermanfaat itu adalah ilmu yg bisa diberikan dan bermanfaat bagi orang lain di luar dirimu. Allah Maha Mendengar. Dengan doa dan pinta Bunda, Allah pasti akan mengabulkannya. Amin. 😍

Hamzah di 1 Ramadan 1440

Ramadan hari pertama, Hamzah alhamdulillah dapat selesai sampai akhir. Tidak terhitung berapa kali ia menanyakan waktu berbuka. "Masih lama ya, Bun?", "Hamzah haus sekali. Gimana nih?", "Berapa jam lagi bukanya?", "Hamzah rasanya mau minum...", dan lain sebagainya.  Dengan es krim sebagai hadiah jika puasanya dapat bertahan sampai magrib, anak saleh kami itu pun kuat juga akhirnya.  Tahun lalu ia berpuasa hingga tiga hari di awal Ramadan kalau saya tidak salah. Tahun ini semoga ia bisa berpuasa hingga Ramadan usai. Kami ingin ia dapat memaknai setiap haus dan lapar yang dirasakannya dari pagi hingga menjelang matahari tergelincir di lengkung langit. Kami ingin ia dalam sebulan ini mencoba menjadi anak-anak yang tak seberuntung dirinya. Kami ingin Hamzah selalu ingat bahwa Allah telah memberikannya banyak nikmat. Kenikmatan yang tidak semua anak bisa merasakannya. Kami ingin ia bertumbuh dengan kemampuan berempati terhadap berbagai kes...

Jakarta (Cubing Method)

This is a kind of writing that we had to make today.  Shane just wanted to introduce us how to write a topic by using cubing method.  So, here is the result of mine.  I tried to describe the topic in a letter for my friend.  Let's read! Dear Wahyu,            Hi, how are you? Hopefully you are well.  Let me tell you about everything I have felt since the first time I came to Jakarta 2 months ago.           Perhaps everybody will say that I am a fool being not comfortable live in Jakarta.  But that is true.  I have to fight here.  You wanna know why? First, it's hard to find fresh air to breath to breath out of the building.  All that come to my lungs is just smoke of cars, buses, motorcycles, and bajai.  Second, I have to prepare coins everywhere I go because there will be many unlucky people who show their suffered faces and hope money from my pocket.  Then? Okay...I give some to them.  Third, I cannot see many trees and flowers which grow by themselves, or birds flying at...
