Kongsi Bahan Pembelajaran Untuk Pelajar Sekolah Rendah

Last year, I was a teacher in rural area Sarawak, and this year, I’m a teacher at my hometown, Johor, and the differences is huge. Really really huge. At my previous school, there are only 43 pupils, and my current school, has more than 600 pupils. My previous school only has 11 teachers, and now more than 50 pupils. At my previous school, there is only 7-9 pupils per class, here, more than 20. Well, I heard it better where there are school where the pupils are more than 40 per class. There are so many huge differences, and both got advantages and disadvantages. Both places have taught me with so many things, and let me experienced so many good and bad things. It helped me to develop to be a person, and make me able to know more about me. I realized the things I am able and capable of doing, as a person and as a teacher. I always heard that many teachers ended up being a teacher because they got no other option and being a teacher is as a last resort. Being a teacher is not my la...

After two weeks of absence from school, now I’m back. Beside hari raya holidays, the reason that I was not in school is because I accompany my pupils for a trip to Miri town. There were great experiences for me be the guiding teacher during the trip. I’ll update about the trip soon. Today, I’m so frustrated my pupils as two of them didn’t finish the homework that was given to them. Hmmm, I guess I have to tolerate with this kind of pupils so long I remain as a teacher. Teacher Linda is bringing a hari raya to the school. She brought a lot of Kuih raya and gather the pupils and gave them a treat. She also gave duit raya. I can only contribute Dodol. Many pupils said that it the first time they taste a raya biscuits and kind surprised to eat dodol because it can stretchable. While Teacher Ibrahim brought the infamous Sarawak cake. Even though the feast was a small one, but what Teacher Linda did for me is really appraisable. Now the pictures. Teacher Linda is explaining about the foods ...

It September, and I wanted to refresh back my memory of what has happened to me at the beginning of the year. Time to look back and reconsider about my life here. (Sound typical? Hehehhe) I remember when I first arrived here, I don’t really like it. I am scared and terrified of what future hold for me in here. Live in the moment, don’t worry about the future The picture shown the scenery of the road that I’ve seen to get to my current school. It’s a rural area, secluded far away from city. The village that greet the new teachers to this place. The challenges begin It’s keep raining heavily, and flood occurred. The first time in my life I encounter flood. Luckily only teachers houses that being affected by the flood, so the school keep on. To get to school, we had to went through water that up until 0.5 m high. Two houses that badly affected Look at the inside of the house – it so sad Look how high the water is, nearly as high as football score wall. This is just a reminiscence of w...

I'm a teacher, and I'm proud to be a teacher, but become a teacher is not easy It always come to my mind, is everything what I taught my pupils, do they get it? It makes me worry all the time. But somehow, I know, they do not get fully what I taught. Even our brain unable to give 100% concentration at all time, and the most, it can only gives 100% concentration of not more than five minutes. Moreover, learning also involves memorization, and most of us know, memorization is not easy (it goes to me, I hate to memorize), that’s why as a teacher, I’ve been told that I need to expose to my pupils to the real things of what they learn as much as possible so that they can better and easy to grasp of what I taught. (It’s not easy to be a teacher) At the age of 26 now, I realized most of the things that I know and learned, I learned through experiences, especially things related to heart. Learning from people and books, can widen our knowledge, but learning from real situati...

After managed to catch many fishes, now it's time to eat. To our surprised, our pupils did not eat anything before going to this trip. At first I was angry, and then I was sympathetic with them. They are really eager to go to this trip and that's way they changed as fast as they could and hurry back to our place so we can get early. Moreover they said that we are the first teacher that actually going with them to catch fisg at that place. I'm so touched. Luckily we cooked some rice for the pupils. As me and Linda has already eaten, we only eat the fish. Here are some pictures during the eating session. For me, this was the first time I ate fresh fish that just was catched from the river and it more memorable because it were catched by my own pupils. It look delicious right? It's very delicious.

Wow, me and Linda was so amazed with so many fishes that our pupils managed to catch. It so wonderful. Here's the picture and there is me too. :((

Not much of writing, but picture to show how great this experiences. A note : I found this experienced as very meaningful and great because somehow, I learn so much about them and from them, so much. The journey took around half an hour with two scary bridges. It's not normal bridges, it just a branch of tree and when you walked, you are hoping and praying that you will not fall. and some bridge, if you like me, scared, you prefer crawling than walking. Ok these are the pictures of the location that we went for fishing. But we are not using a normal fishing way , but we , not we, my pupils, were using a net. Me and Linda only seeing.

Ok, I've got Linda's permission to post her picture. Then we move from teachers' quarters to the fishing destination. My pupils said the journey will takes around 30 minutes. The place that we heading to is called Red River. Usually when we going to jungle, we will use appropriate shoe and bring necessary equipments, but I just bring a 500 ml sky juice, a lighter, and a basket bag. I wear a sliipery sandals, as I ahve no right shoes. Guess what what happened to me during the journey. My pupils said we should use a right shoes, but as determined we are, we don't care. We still proceed with the journey. I do have a sport shoes, but the shoes is old and rotten, so I chose to wear my slippery sandals. And the journey starts. i don't know why, but these pupils walked really fast. I don't know what they are chasing. Guess who the last in the row? Me. I walked rather slow because the road is really slippery and I don't want to fall. And something astonishing happen...

So I’ve decided to make a new blog about me as a teacher. I decided to make this blog because suddenly I felt lucky that I enter into this profession even though before this I’m felt a little regretting, more over I’ve been posted to a very rural area, but today, I’ve experienced something that I felt really bless and lucky. It just me and other teacher, cikgu Linda went to jungle trekking looking for a vegetable called pucuk niding, and through the journey, we experienced a very great and memorable experiences. Today experiences make me realized how lucky I am in this place and actually it wasn’t that bad to be in here. There are things I got to experienced, see and do. I saw how my pupils actually went to and learn how marvelous they are compare to me. I’m coming from a farmer family too, but I never experienced what my pupils have experienced. Went to jungle and swimming in a river is something normal to them, but I only went to jungle because I ahd to and with a guider, not with a ...
