I am taking Social Studies for Young Children for this semester. First, I thought it is an easy subject. However, it is not. Hmm. My lecturer gives pretty standard assignments. But, there are sooooo many aspects that we should dig about.
Frankly, I do not really aware about this subject. After I have gone through 8 classess, I notice that social studies is connected to every subjects such as: Science and Language. Sometimes when you teach the children social studies, you also teach them about science.
From that I made my own conclusion that many schools do not have social studies in curriculum because it is related to other subjects. When the children learn Math, they also get a chance to learn social studies. For example: Time (Past, Present, Current)... When the children learn Language, they also get a chance to learn social studies. For example: Family. When the children learn science, they also get a chance to learn social studies. For example: Solar system.
When it comes to "Who is the founder of telephone?" and stuff like that, I am thinking that do the children ages 4-6 need to learn about this? Do they understand? Do they grasp the concept of founder?
Nevertheless, we as the teacher should prepared ourselves to teach the children about social studies.
Currently I am trying to read a social studies text book that my lecturer suggested to us. You know, preparing myself for exam ;)
GAMBATEH!

Relay for Life 2011
Relay for life is organized by National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM) every year.
This year, I have a chance to participate by donating RM 15.
The event started from Saturday 6 pm to Sunday 10 am.
We went to the stadium at 6pm and there were like 1000 people more... There were so many tent as well.
Every hour, they presented different show and activities.
Most of the performers were the survivals. They seriously were touching my heart.
At 8 pm, we had a small ceremony by put all the lantern together to remember those who has gone and those who still struggle fighting the cancer. The stadium was all dark and only all the lantern gave us light.
We enjoyed every show by every performers, we also had a chance to meet other people. Most of my groupmates did not sleep because they did not want to miss every sinlge activities and performance.
This event was seriously a good idea. Next year, you better join!

Emotional Roller Coaster
I seriously am having a hard time to apply the knowledge that I've absorbed to my students. I can feel that no one support me for that, thefore I am feeling not to support myself as well.
Yes, I am a bit down right now. I am SAD. How can I treat my students like that? Guilty is always in my heart every day.
Is that something wrong with me? I mean, is it something in me that makes me have a difficulty time dealing with this? Is it normal?
I don't know.

June meet July
Yah, udah bulan Juli aja ternyata. Time flies really fast!
Ritual aku udah mulai berubah sedikit semenjak bulan Juni karena aku harus start kerja dan bangun pagi hari tentunyaaa. Rasanya berattttt banget kalau udah alarm bunyi tapi alhamdulillah sampai sekarang tetap semangat dan masih semangat.
Lebih dari setahun aku membiasakan diri untuk bangun siangan dikit. Jadi, badan aku agak shock juga sih pas disuruh bangun bagi tiap hari.
Sekarang lagi masa masa membiasakan diri untuk segala perubahan. Ceileh, gaya banget yaaa akunya!
Masa masa untuk mengenal my bossess juga.
Well, jujur aja kadang aku masih belum tau apa yang diinginkan oleh salah satu dari mereka. Kalau dipikir-pikir, kami bekerja sebagai team, tapi kenapa yaaa masih ada juga yang suka seenak hatinya doang. Okey, think positive! (saat menulis blog ini aku lagi kesel banget sama dia)
Btw, aku dan abang aku udah prepare kado buat ultah my mom. Udah lewat sihh ultahnya cuma kan kami nggak ada ketemu, yaaaa jadi kadonya disimpan dulu deh. Tapi kadonyaaa super hebat deh. Hehehe (sombong).
