Life Of AtFaL.....Great MomenTs

On 26th of may 2010...

I arrived at Atfal around 7.15am and quickly went to the infront gate to welcome the children since I was on duty with Teacher Fida....Later, arond 7.50 am, I joined with all the children during their tumble toots session....which is really interesting and fun.

Today I taught Ibnu Rushd class...ALPHABETS...
I introduce them one item / thing for each alphabets....
Later, I did tasmi' with some of Ibnu Rushd class children and fill up all the details inside their report card file.

Later around 12.30 p.m....I started my daycare session with Hiraq recitation. I observe one by one and correct their mistakes and the children need to repeat back when they fail to recite properly.

After that I handled Asar prayer by teaching them how to perform on a good manner for those who tend to play during prayer and lastly I was incharge with Teacher Fida for the evening gate and while waiting for the parents to come and pick up them I snap some photos of the children who seems to have lots of fun playing with their friends...

So lets have a look on this cute pictures....

LectureR ObservaTion

Sorry for the late update....

On 24th of May 2010....

Today is the day were we all ( the practical students ) were evaluated by our lecturers....

Let me tell you the scenario that I go through on that day....

Around 7.30 am.......I arrived at tadika......and quickly went to the playground to observe the children who are minggling around.the assembly began around 8 am....

After that, I asked excuse from the class teacher to prepare all the documents and materials and get ready to do pre teaching at Ibnu Sina class before my lecturer arrive.

I entered Ibnu Sina class and did pre teaching with them so that I know how will be the children feedback. I only taught them how to sing `One two Buckle My Shoe song' because the children are advanced learner and they might get bored if I taught them earlier regarding the topic that I am going to teach during my lecturer`s observation.

Around 11 a.m .....the lecturers arrived....four of them all together...Madam Nadia Natrah, Madam Asma Othman, Miss Nabila Nuwairi and Sir Husamuddin.......

I was chosen to teach first at Ibnu Sina class and the ACAD supervisor who observe me was Mr.Husam.I taught Ibnu sina class topic `CLOTHES'.I started with greeting them and continued with setting induction.i sing with them` One two buckle My Shoe' song and later paste all the picture card to introduce them different type of clothes.After that I distributed the worksheets to all the children to evaluate their understanding on the topic taught on that day.Before the class end, I recap the lesson that learnt on that day.

This is briefly what Idid during the mock teaching with the children.....before my lecturer make a move...I discussed with them regarding the business plan and preparation before the presentation day....

Everything goes on smoothly ...I will like to take this privilege to Thank the Principal......Teacher Adlina Adnan and Teacher Jun for their support and encouragement..... and not forgetting to the practical students as well.

20th may 2010.....

on 20th of May 2010...

Today I was assisting Teacher Wani during Hafazan period...
The children did Tasmi' where they have to recite' selawat'...Then, show how they perform ablution...Next recite daily surah....
What I can make an overview is that ...the children who participate in daycare session...they can recite all the doa together with the translation...meanwhile at the other hand.....the children who is intelligent in terms of studies and didnt participate in daycare session ...not well verse when it comes to doa recitation. Example : Doa before entering toilet...

Around 10.40a.m....I entered Ibnu Sina class to teach english...topic food....
It been a long time I didnt teach Ibnu sina class...
since next week monday...lecturer will be coming to observe us..
I took this niche to practice with them using any topic...
They are smart students...so I will not be having any difficulties when I teach...but in terms of controlling the class...still there is some minor problem because the children are very excited until everyone wants to answer at the same time...
I really hope that I will not disappoint my lecturer..I will try my best to handle the class with good.....because a good teacher she knows how to handle the class even though in complicated situation....
Thanx to teacher jun who helped me a lot to find the teaching aid.....and also to Teacher Lina who always encourage me to do the best...

After the class ended at 12 pm...we the practical students...busy with the preparation for the teachers day celebration which is on the next day (Friday)
we list down all the material that needed to be use for the decoration...
At the evening, we went to buy the materials...and Alhamdulillah we got everything that we need....and we start up our work after magrib prayer....
I really satisfied with the effort that we take to make sure the program run smoothly even though we ended our work late night.....
Hopefully the teachers enjoy the activity that we schedule for them.....

Examination week...

This week all the children age 5 & 6 years old sat for exams...
The exams was held on monday til thursday.....
All the class teachers were worried about their class children performances...since all the class teacher were given task to inspect different classes..
I myself assist the children in ibnu Rushd class together with Teacher Liya and Teacher Lina...
After each exam ended, I mark the paper....and quiet satisfied with the percentage of mark that they had obtain.....Alhamdulillah....Thanx to Allah....
In between, before the exams starts....the teacher will spend about half an hour recap the subject......so basically this is some of the picture taken during the revision period during exam week....

ReviSion weeK....

Starting from 10th of May til 14th of May 2010...
The teachers recap back all the previous topic that they had taught the children ....since next week will be examination period....
Basically, the teachers stress on the topics that will be coming out during the exams...
This is the time for the teachers to evaluate how the children comprehend the subject that they taught them before...and to find out those children who seems to be weak in coping the subjects....

When it comes to Ibnu rushd class which is quiet week compare to other classes at Atfal....
The class teacher works really hard to make the children understand well by repeating the same topic many times.....I was assisting her by teaching some of the subject as well .....
What i can say is that...its really hard to take their attention during teaching because their attention always distract with playing with friends,fighting ,laughing,and many more...
Through implementation of various interesting method......they try to give their attention ....one of that is by drawing pictures...where the children praise the teacher...by giving a big round of applause for the very first time during the lesson.....

Although it is last minute preparation, I was enjoying doing the task given to me.....Eventhough ,I am not creative in person but I try to do it wholeheartedly.....

This is a gift that symbolizes how deep is their love towards their mother.....It looks simple but the effort to do that will show the true love that one has towards their beloved mother.....

Therefore, this is some of the picture taken during the preparation.....

PreVenTion is BeTteR tHan CuRe....

On 4th of May 2010...

The Atfal teachers along with all the practical students were assigned to clean up the dirt from impurities since that will be the best solution to prevent the existence of the HINI virus.

Around 9a.m,we had a short briefing from the management about the task that we should do on that day....

At the mean time decorating the class....so it will provide a conducive and attractive atmosphere for the children to learn.....

Basically in the meeting the Director, Mr.Nasrol was stressing on cleanliness, Decoration and also about the LOR concept ( Locked Observe & Report )......

SweeT MemoRies With Ibnu Sina ClasS

On 6th of May 2010....
Today I had a new experience dealing with Ibnu Rushd class children...
I helped one of my friend by exchanging the class with him...
Since he was having some difficulties handling the class...
For the sake of his comfortableness...I took the challenge that was given to me with the determination of doing the best that I can to teach the class although it will be quiet challenging for me to deal with children who is frequent to misbehave in class and having lots of internal problem coping with studies.
I took the niche with wholeheartedly because this will make me to learn on how to deal with children with numerous type of behavior.

I will tell you the scenario that I gone through on the first day handling the Ibnu Rushd class in the next post....

But for now I would like to share with you guys some sweet memories that I have gone through for the past two weeks with Ibnu Sina class children.....

Day Care LifE at AtFal

Starting from second week of my practical training I joined the day care session with kids...
The schedule for each task was pasted on the information board...
Firstly I felt so excited because I have already seen what is the activity that they will be doing during the day care session.....
I was assigned to lead and take care the children group named 'MUMTAZ'

Around 12.30p.m the day care session begin with Hiraq recitation...where I observe and correct their mistakes during the hiraq......



Later around 1.15p.m I brought them to the kitchen and feed them rice....
I ask them to sit in circle so it will be easier for me to feed them....
What I observe is that.... my class children..... they eat quiet a lot....where I need to add up rice four or five times....
It is really good that they are not fussy in eating....This made me really happy to feed them.....
somehow looks like a mother who feeds her children with love....
but you know what ...actually the children is quiet a lot like a football team......hehehehe

After that, they went to perform Zuhur prayer and then around 1.50p.m they took a nap....
I took this time for me to do some book marking and take rest since the whole day was busy engaging with children.

Around 4.30p.m...I woke up everyone in my class to get ready for bath time.....
Later,they went for their Asar prayer.....
The teacher in charge will lead them on how to perform the prayer.....
especially the basic requirement to perform the prayer where observing the recitation of surah on each rakaat.
After that followed by recitation of zikr......






After the zikr recitation...they will be given some snack and drinks during the tea break at the evening.......
Later, they will be allowed to play at the playground while waiting for their parents to fetch them....around 6.30pm all the children will disperse.....

First DaY TeacHing eXpeRienCe

On 28th of April 2010....

Today I was given the task to teach the Ibnu Sina class....
The first impression which occur in my mind was..... simple and need extra guidance for Haikal and Natasya....this two kids a bit slow compare to others in the class.... and I know the capability of the Ibnu Sina class children...where they are advance in learning and cope fast in studies....

Let me tell you the scenario that happen on that day...

Actually I was prepared to teach Ibnu Sina class mentally and physically but in terms of preparing the material to teach....I was still in progress that morning.....

First of all I would like to take this niche to thank my best friend Marsya who helped me to draw the picture even though she was busy drawing and labellings the cow to teach her students the part of cow......
There was something in common...where we both going to teach our students today...

Guess what on that morning .....during the first period of class....I requested excuse from Teacher Jun so that I can well prepared to teach the class by proving them with good and attractive teaching aid......

So this is the picture card together with the labels......


On the second period of class....
Teacher Jun asked me to teach them....
Before I start my teaching......I really hoped that everything will go on smoothly...
Many times during my studies at IIC I did mock teaching...but assuming my classmate as children...
but today is the very first time I am going to teach and educate the children that we called in innate state or fitrah ( where their mind is like white piece of paper and we as an educator are the one who will shape and show them the righteous way)...
I make sure that I conduct my teachings with what I have learn theoretically.

I enter the class and begin my class with doa recitation...
Today I am going to teach them Bahasa Melayu subject and the topic that I choose was 'Clothes'
First I refresh them back the previous topic that they had learn that was regarding 'Hobbies'.....
Then I begin my lesson by pasting the picture card together with the labels on the white board...and introduce to them each of the picture together with the picture`s name.
Later, after all of them comprehend the picture`s name...I made up a game where they need to match each picture with the correct name.

After 15 minutes, I instruct them to do some exercises in the book......
They were all seem to look very interested and enjoyed doing the exercises by frequently asking question on how to do the exercises....
They all were trying to accomplish the task given as fast as they can because I said to them that the first person who accomplish all the exercises will get a reward.
its like a positive reinforcemant...
But for Haikal & Natasya they didn't bother about it and was trying to do the exercises with Teacher Jun`s assistance.

Before the class end I ask them back of what they had learn on that day and I felt very complacent because the children comprehend well what I taught and they told me that ......`best sangat teacher ruby ajar arinie'....
for me what can be a big compliment than this....happy even though last minute preparation...

I would like to share this little happiness with my cute companion who was there when I really need her hand to help me prepare my teaching aid....Friend forever my dear....love you



me with my best friend 'Marsya'

Sweet Lil Haikal......

On 27th of April 2010....

After I arrived at Tadika Atfal around 7.20 a.m...
I quickly went to the front gate to welcome the children as I have been assigned to do so on every Tuesday morning.....

The assembly session begin and after that everyone went back to their respective classes..

Today let me tell you guys a short story regarding this cute boy named Haikal.

Everyday my task in Ibnu Sina class is to observe and guide Haikal who is feeble in studies, poor in terms of communication and very abashed.

Today during the mathematics lesson...
I taught him on how to use simple method in counting the numbers..
Haikal is very passive and he will never give any respons if I asked anything out of the blue ( other than studies) .
On the other hand...whenever I snap a picture ...he never use to smile like others kids and never had an informal conversation with other kids in the class...

When I command him to recognize each of his classmate name...He said correctly the name of each person with dour face......so in abbreviation what I can say is that...He knows the existence of them but fail to interact to make friends.

He never use to be like other kids who like to play around, confide about other kids,confute about something or even laugh....He is very unique in my eyes where he always compliant to anything which was assigned to him and never argued about it.

After one week, I saw the development of cognitive in Haikal where now he can do mathematics by his own and in terms of communication he is still poor...

During the reading period, He can recognize some letters by his own compare to last week but still need the guidance and assistance from teacher to observe and correct his mistakes.

Haikal seems to have some internal problem in coping with studies and communicating with people.
Maybe there is a feeling of inferior to talk and what I hoped is that one day he will smile and share with me some stories like what other kids do in his class..insyaallah.


Haikal doing his maths....
