Selasa (5/10) sempet empot2an. berangkat dr rumah jam 6.50 pagi, sampe di sekolah jam 7.25. sungguh terlalu ! macet di jln ga tau krn apa. mau turun dr angkot & lanjutin jln kaki, masih jauh. tp diam di angkot bikin garing ..

sampe jam 8 cuma ada 7 ekor anak TK A yg hadir. kemana yg 7 lagi ? nah, 5 nongol di atas jam 8. ini telat krn macet di jln / di rumah sih ?

di tengah2 pelajaran jam 8.30 ... jeng jeng jeng ... Nico muncul. jam 9 pintu kls di ketok & ... Clarissa masuk ! lho ? kok ? soalnya pagi2 pembantunya dateng ke sekolah kasih tau dia ga enak badan so minta ijin ga masuk. sembuhnya cepet banget ?? he he he ... tp saking ga yakinnya ampe aku berkali-kali raba dahinya soalnya kemarenan ada anak2 TK A yg tetap ngotot masuk sekolah biarpun meriang ... ya, kl ga akan bikin sakitnya jd manjang sih gpp ...

Pak Tio, guru gambar, ga masuk. lagi mudik dr minggu lalu. so anak2, kita nulis huruf a-b-c di buku kotak yuk ... tp sebelonnya maju 1 per 1 buat nulis 3 huruf itu di whiteboard.

tp di prakteknya di buku ... wah, aku bersukur ada 2 guru di TK A. itu aja kita ber 2 masih rada kewalahan krn ada Michelle, March, Kelvin, Justin, Echa, Dea & Farell yg bisa di bilang masih 1/2 melek huruf, 1/2 buta huruf ... he he he ...

Michelle & Kelvin malah ga mau upaya nulis sendiri.

March ribut dg pensilnya yg patah, ga mau nulis. lha, kan di t4 pensil kamu masih ada 3 pensil yg semua udah di serut & sama mereknya dg yg patah itu. pake aja dong yg ada di situ, knapa sih ? nah, ahirnya krn ribut ngotot mempertahankan tesisnya, tu pensil jatuh, ngegelinding ke bawah loker terus masuk ke kls TK B & ilang .. entah siapa yg ambil. tapi jd selesai d perkara dg pensil keramat itu ..

Echa sebetulnya bisa tp tiap kali abis nulis 1 huruf langsung teriak2 manggil bu guru. hrs di liat tulisannya ... ampuuun ...

Dea ga bisa tp diam jd luput dr perhatian. baru mo menjelang ahir pelajaran aku ngeh kl dia baru nulis 1 huruf a & itu jg mencang mencong .. waduh ...

Justin tumben rada lancar. entah gimana emaknya dpt firasat kali kalo ni hari kita mo suruh anak2 nulis huruf a b c krn semalem di latih nulis huruf2 itu .. aku & nyokapnya sempet cekikikan tuh jd nya ... he he he .. tuh, enaknya jd guru TK ya gitu, selalu ada aja hal2 yg menghibur setelah / di tengah2 hal2 yg nyebelin ..

Vivien & Sekar sebetulnya jg bisa tp krn kurang pede ahirnya ragu2 & mandek. kl Vivien bergaya pasrah, Sekar jd satelit, bergantian dia ngintil di belakang aku / evelyn & bisa berdiri diam, sabar nungguin ampe kita ngikutin dia balik ke t4 duduknya ... he he he ... kesamaan antara mereka b'2 ya .. ga berbunyi sama sekali ...

Farell sekali ini bikin aku & evelyn sama spanningnya. susah banget tu anak bikin huruf c. tangannya sebetulnya lemes tp gemuk, jari2nya jg gemuk & pendek2 jd bikin sulit dia buat nulis. selain itu utk hal2 yg perlu pake nalar kayak ngikutin arah / pola / warna juga sulit buat Farell. anak itu baik, sopan, lucu, ga pernah ngamuk / bikin susah orang di sekolah tp kelemahannya ya itu tadi ..

tp manusia kan berkembang. aku selalu bilang berulang-ulang gitu ke ortu murid supaya mereka jangan jd terlalu paranoid kl liat anaknya kok "belon bisa apa2" / kemampuannya tertinggal dr temen2 sebayanya. aku ini contoh nyata dr anak yg dulunya ketinggalan dlm segala hal. toh liat aku sekarang. bisa jd guru, bisa mimpin, bisa ngayomi orang lain. yg ga kebayang aja kan ... itu Ora et Labora .. berdoa & bekerja ..

he he he .. pulang ketemu nyokapnya si kembar Evan - Ivan yg sekarang udah kls 2 SD. "mo kemana bu ? pulang juga kan ? mo ikut ?"  .. ya, siapa yg nolak tebengan gratis naik motor krn biarpun ga nyampe depan rumah tp kan lumayan bisa lebih cepat & yg penting lagi, irit ongkos transport .. puji sukur. Tuhan selalu nolong tiap hari lewat hal2 besar / kecil.

Traffic jam made me arrived in school this morning (Tuesday, Oct 5th) at 7.25 am. I've left home to school at 6.50 am ! didn't know what caused the road jammed but it really upsetting.

There were only 7 kids arrived before 8 am. 5 kids came after 8 am & ... knock ... knock .. Nico came, smiled shyly to me & it was 8.30 am ! what happened ? traffic jam on the road / at home ?

9 am & Clarissa entered the classroom .. ?? .. her maid came to school early this morning & told me that she didn't feel well so would be absent today. r u sure she's fine ? I repeatedly asked this to her & her mother because there were kids who persistently came to school though they had slight fever & ended up fell sick longer ..

Our drawing teacher was abesent so we taught the kids to write a b c on the whiteboard & then on their books. & so came the real challenge .. lol ..

Michelle, March, Kelvin, Justin, Echa, Dea & Farell are 1/2 illiterate ... oh my ...

Michelle & Kelvin didn't even wanna try to write the letters.

March was noisy over his broken pencil & didn't wanna use other pencil. at the end it fell off his hand, rolled over under the locker to another class & a kid must have picked it because it was no where to be found.

Echa cried out to us everytime she's done writing a letter.

Dea went silent that it was about 10 minutes before snack time that I realized she wrote only a ne misfigured a ..

Justin surprisingly could write his a b c quite well. her mother must had some sort of 6 sense because she made him practiced writing those letters last night. we had quite a laugh over it ... that's a thing I like about teaching because there's always good thing cheers me up after / in the mid of chaotic class / problems.

in the meantime lack of self esteem made Vivien & Sekar unable to write their a b c. both were silent. the difference is Sekar took turn shadowing me / evelyn, she would stood silently & patiently waiting until we were done & had time to help her.

Farell made me & evelyn, the other teacher, both got quite a headache as he couldn't write c. his short chubby hands & fingers make him difficult using them to write & his reasoning ability has become another learning obstackle.

but we're all developing. I always tell over anxious parents this so they won't be discouraged to have slow learner kid. take me as an example. who would have guessed that I'm now teach, lead & advise kids & adults. all the result of faith & work.

surprised to meet the twins Evan - Ivan's mother rode on her motorcycle on my way home "hi, hopped in" & I happily rode home with her ..
