Surah al-Fil
Hafazan Haris belum lagi sampai pada Surah al-Fil, tapi masa balik kampung the other day, one night Haris minta bacakan cerita sebelum tidur. I was thinking of short stories from Quran, and remembered al-Feel and did a quick search on internet and jumpa website ni; Teaching kids the Holy Quran. He immediately became SO interested, sebab LEGO. I guess to teach meanings of each surah next time, had to include these, and I’m very thankful for the effort put in this project.
And so, he can’t wait to come home and build Kaa’bah with his Legos. Bila dah sampai rumah, the first thing he did the next morning? Yes, he remembered his goal. Lol. Cepat-cepat dia buat, but since (*rolls eyes), he’s such a perfectionist, marah-marah dia sebab Lego pieces dia tak sama dengan gambar. I encouraged him to just use what he has, to try and to think, he hesitated. I left him alone and eventually he came to me and finished it!
Just like Surah al-Masad, I’m trying to think to incorporate whatever lesson related to the Surah. And I think I’ll do Elephant and Bird unit study next. ^^

Surah al-Masad
Mom listens to this:
Mom reads:
NAK’s transcript on the Surah.When talked about flame/fire, Haris tanya kenapa api padam bila ditiup? Sebab biasa kalau lilin menyala, contohnya, scented candle / birthday candle, dia akan blow untuk padamkan. And so, mom had to find experiment untuk fahamkan dia. Hehe.
First we need to know, what is fire?
And then, discuss about fire safety. Fire safety booklet at Teaching Mama.

Ordinal Numbers
Introduce Haris pada Ordinal Numbers. Had to use what interests him to gain his interest. Lol. Jadi minta dia susun superheroes-superherosnya pada ranking yang dia rasa siapa paling kuat hingga lemah.

After three days (reviewing), he still can’t grasp the difference between ordinal and cardinal. Will try again somewhere in the future.Resource: Math is Fun!

Fire Safety
DAY 1
What is Fire and What Makes Fire?
Need:
3 candles, match, playdoh, spray bottle with water, 1 metal tray, 1 mason jar.
What is fire?
Api ialah proses oksidasi pantas menghasil-kan cahaya, haba, asap, dan hasil tindak balas kimia seperti karbon dioksida dan air.

3 things makes fire:
- Haba
- Udara
- Minyak
Demo Haba:
Spray lilin yang pertama untuk tunjuk jika kita hilangkan haba, api akan padam. Bincang juga jika ada api di dapur api yang libatkan minyak, air tak boleh padamkan api tetapi api jadi lagi besar!
Demo: Udara
Tutup lilin kedua dengan mason jar, api akan menggunakan udara dan akhirnya udara habis, api akan padam. Jadi cara paling terbaik untuk padamkan kebakaran atas dapur adalah tutup dengan penutup metal.
Demo: Minyak
Lilin ketiga dibiarkan menyala sampai habis, menunjukkan bila ‘minyak’ habis, api juga akan padam.
We clip it outside and the kids sprayed it, pretend play as a fireman. I even had to shout help! ^^;

Haris first stop motion!
Haris 5 Tahun 2 Bulan
Hana 21 BulanArt
Inspired by: Let’s Explore Art Materials by PinkStripeySocks
Haris was not very thrilled doing it. You know how he actually doesn’t like doing art. Dalam banyak-banyak jenis bahan ditulis, dia paling suka paper towel. Hanya sebab lepas tu, I told him to try and drop some water on it. The water spread!
Hana minat dalam apa sahaja. Especially scribbles so made one for her as well. I just love seeing her concentration look. 😀
And then he asked to do the water paper alone.
Details can be read here: Paper Towel Art by Happy Hooligans
Science & Technology
Sambil menunggu nak pergi Solat Jumaat, I suggest we make stop motion video! Read it awhile back at TinkerLab. Brilliant idea! Haris loves watching Lego Stop Motion Video on Youtube. I showed him how to do it first and did it together.
Dan ini yang dia buat sendiri tanpa apa-apa pertolongan. 😀

Making Lego Marble Maze
Nampak idea ni di Pinterest sebelum, dan tunjuk pada Haris dulu the idea. Lepas tu, he makes his own maze, altered here and there. 😀 Yang best sebab dia fikir di mana dia nak guli tu lalu dan adjust lego-lego tu ikut kemahuan dia.

Telling Time 1
Haris: 5 Years
Haris dah boleh baca jam by hour dan half an hour. Masih belum tahu minit dan saat. Pukul 3. Pukul 3.30. But I never really properly introduced him about time. So, we discussed about seconds this morning. Macamana jarum saat tu pusing, cukupkan satu pusingan sebanyak 60 kali dan jarum panjang akan bergerak and told him that was minute and when the minute cukupkan satu pusingan pula, jadi jam.
Penguin from Making Learning.
Activity:
Put students in pairs. Use the timer. One student counts how many times their partner can clap in ten seconds. Then reverse the roles and do it again.
Jog in place for one minute. Is a minute longer or shorter than a second? The minute hand goes around one time each minute.
Now show your students that you are setting a timer for one hour. That means that the minute hand will go around sixty times. Ask them to predict what they will be doing when the timer goes off. Write down some predictions.You May Also Like
