Rancang..Rancang..Rancang..Dan Rancang Lagiii..
Cabaran LINUS
Saya sedang menghadiri Mesyuarat Penyelarasan Program LINUS di Hotel Plaza, Kuala Lumpur. Sepanjang tiga hari ini dan esok, hari terakhir, mesyuarat ini mendedahkan berbagai perkara berhubung dengan program ini kepada kami selaku Penyelaras LINUS di peringkat negeri. Program ini merupakan satu agenda besar negara. Jatuh bangun program ini terletak di bahu ramai pihak. Lantas, semua pihak yang terlibat ini hendaklah betul-betul memahami aspirasi yang terkandung di sebalik program yang sedang rancak diperkatakan ini. Besar tanggungjawabnya. Penguasaan yang baik dalam asas literasi dan numerasi kepada generasi muda ini amat penting bagi menentukan hala tuju negara di masa hadapan. Ini bukanlah satu perkara yang harus dipandang ringan. Sokongan dari pihak ibubapa, masyarakat, pentadbir, guru-guru, malah, murid sendiri, perlu ampuh dan utuh dalam menunjukkan komitmen untuk kejayaan bersama. Ianya bukanlah sesuatu yang mudah dilaksanakan dan ditentukan tahap kejayaannya tanpa kerja keras dan teliti dari semua pihak terbabit. Saya amat bersyukur kerana Tuan Pengarah Pelajaran kita amat prihatin dan sensetif pada kejayaan program ini di Labuan khususnya. Beliau amat bersungguh-sungguh dan mahu berbagai program berkesan dirancang dan dilaksanakan. Ketekunan dan dedikasi ini ialah untuk memastikan warga pendidik bersatu hati dan berusaha keras memastikan kadar murid yang menguasai literasi dan numerasi di Labuan ialah seawal di Tahun Satu lagi. Semoga doa semua pihak di samping usaha yang tidak mengenal jemu ini, akan membuahkan hasil. Alangkah seronoknya kita apabila semua murid kita celik literasi dan numerasi. Cerahlah masa depan akademik murid-murid di Labuan.

Percutian Hooray Hooray Keluarga MJ Datang Lagi
Tahun ini merupakan tahun ke-3, insyallah, akan berlangsungnya lagi percutian keluarga MJ. Seperti tahun-tahun sebelumnya, sesi 'mesyuarat' ialah sesi yang ditunggu-tunggu. Tahun pertama, hampir 30 kali mesyuarat diadakan. Tahun sudah, kurang sikit...29 kali agaknya. Tahun 2010, semalam merupakan mesyuarat yang ke-5...dari yang ke berapa nanti, tidak boleh digambarkan lagi. Setiap kali mesyuarat, semua orang akan pulang dengan bermacam keadaan...sakit perut (banyak sangat ketawa), sakit hati (banyak sangat idea / bantahan / pengacau), sakit kepala (untuk AJK yang dilantik) dan memang menghairankan, tidak sabar menunggu mesyuarat untuk perkembangan seterusnya.Berbeza dengan dua tahun pertama, tahun ini segala perancangan diterajui oleh golongan pemuda harapan bangsa, pemudi tiang negara. Beza, memang berbeza. Kalau dahulu, moto kumpulan veteran - Bersedia! Semuanya 'Projek Besar - Priority Ones', dari sebesar-besar hal sehinggalah ke perkara yang remeh. Golongan muda pula berhubung melalui face book dan ada akta rahsia masing-masing. Tercabar gak ego golongan veteran bila mereka dipinggirkan dan semuanya - biarlah rahsia. Fakhrul (wakil AJK aktif )seorang sahaja yang hadir. Terpaksalah dia mengemukakan bermacam-macam alasan kukuh dan tidak dilupakan juga, rapuh, untuk mempertahankan kedudukan belia di mata kumpulan veteran.
Tuan Pengerusi yang sepertimana selalunya - masih tidak mahu digulingkan, masih ketinggalan dengan bermacam-macam hal. Setiausaha - Yah Yot Bosanova masih lambat tangkap konsep. Mak Ngah sebagai Ketua Taiko, tetap ampuh dengan serangan-serangan flash dan tidak pernah teragak-agak melesing siapa saja yang perlu dilesing. Alhamdulillah, semua yang hadir tahan maki.
Semoga perancangan yang diatur mendapat keberkatan Ilahi dan program Percutian Hooray Hooray Keluarga MJ 2010 akan berlangsung dengan jayanya. Seperti biasa, objektif Hari Keluarga ialah untuk mengeratkan silaturrahim dan merafakkan rasa syukur ke hadrat Illahi yang mengukuhkan kasih sayang keluarga MJ.

Bersedia Sudahkah Kita Bah?
Sudah hampir 3 minggu sesi sekolah tahun 2010 bermula. Macam-macam cerita dan kisah suka duka boleh dirakamkan oleh guru-guru. Ragam murid, pentadbir, rakan sekerja, ibubapa, hatta keluarga sendiri pun, mewarnai kehidupan seharian seorang guru. Lama sudah saya tidak masuk mengajar, namun carca merba kehidupan, kesibukan, keseronokan, kesengsaraan seorang guru, masih jelas terbayang dan terasakan bagaikan baru sahaja semalam ianya berlaku. Persoalan yang saban tahun saya persoalkan ialah adakah semua persiapan untuk P&P saya telah sempurnakan? Selalunya apabila menjelangnya tahun baru, seram, takut, seronok, tidak sabar dan macam-macam lagi perasaan mula timbul apabila saya menyedari akan berhadapan lagi dengan alam pendidikan di tahun-tahun baru. Bagi saya, persiapan itulah yang paling seronok sekali. Menyediakan BBM menjadi kegemaran saya. Saya lebih senang menggunakan BBM untuk mengajar. Membuat dan menyediakan BBM memang seronok. Saya suka bermain dengan warna dan memikirkan bahan-bahan berlainan yang boleh digunakan. Bilik darjah akan saya tumpukan dulu. Gantung sini, tampal sana, tarik sini, letak sana. Apabila melihatkan bilik darjah yang cantik dan sudut-sudut yang boleh dan memang digunakan, memberikan kepuasan pada diri seseorang guru. Mengajar murid di sekolah rendah berbeza dengan sekolah menengah. dan alhmdulillah saya berpeluang mencuba kedua-duanya. Pokok pangkalnya ialah persiapan. Saya merasa kagum dengan usaha-usaha yang dibuat oleh rakan-rakan guru di Labuan. Pn.Diah, PK HEM di SK Pantai, hebat betul pejabatnya. Cantik, menarik dan amat sesuai dengan pelajar-pelajar di sekolah rendah. Sekiranya guru-guru Tahun Satu atau mana-mana guru yang ketandusan idea bagaimana untuk menghias bilik darjah untuk menimbulkan suasa yang amat kondusif fntuk P&P berlaku, melawatlah ke pejabat Pn.Diah. Bilik-bilik darjah sebahagian kelas Tahun Satu di SK Bukit Kalam, SK Layang-Layangan, SK Sungai Lada, SK St.Anne, SK Tanjung Aru, SK Sungai Bedaun dan SK Pantai amat menyeronokkan apabila kita berada di dalamnya, apatah lagi murid. Saya bangga dengan kejayaan ramai guru yang berlumba-lumba membuat BBM hingga ke dinding-dinding sekolah pun. Di SK Pantai contohnya, ruang untuk LINUS amat cantik dan apabila siap, memang akan memberi manfaat pada murid nanti. Syabas cikgu.

Winds Of Change
During one of my rounds of observation last week, I came across a young teacher who was to me, a little bit ambitious in her lessons. What I mean is, for young learners, it would be best for them to be given a little bit of new knowledge but with lots and lots of emphasization, repetition and encouragement, so that they would be able to grasp our lesson in context.
Quantity does not necessarily brings out the best of quality in almost every task undertaken. It would be a joy and teachers' utmost satisfaction when our subjects show a remarkable level of understanding of what is it that we are imparting to them. From experience, young learners would feel satisfied with whatever new knowledge gained and would be very happy to know that they are good in any particular area. Giving away an abundant of compliments to them does not hurt too.
Im very proud of this particular teacher who was able to prove that she is indeed a very good teacher. This morning I was very pleased to see a tremendous improvement in her methods of teaching and approaching her students. What pleased me most was her ability to use objects in the classroom to convey her message. It was obvious that the students enjoyed and understand her lesson better than they did the week before. The best part was, she herself felt very good about the lesson and her way of teaching.
I wish all the best to this wonderful teacher who is willing to correct whatever error she may have conducted and has the strong tendency to improve herself. Congratulation.

Graphic Novels In The Classroom
• Teachers and educationist are now aware of the strong attraction that comics have over young people.
Most youngsters would not read novels but they are most willing to read comics.
• Making the most of this attraction, graphic novels are now being brought into the classrooms as a means of getting youngsters to read.
• As opposed to common beliefs that comics are all violent, raunchy, or sexist there are now classics such as Black Beauty by Anna Sewell, David Copperfield by Charles Dickens and Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain as graphic novels.
• The words in graphic novels are minimal, yet the pictures help youngsters to comprehend.
• Second language learners give up reading if texts are too wordy. Graphic novels pull in reluctant readers rather than pushing them away as the visuals function as clues to help their understanding.
• A good picture paints a thousand words. As the pictures in the Graphic Novels are universal, they are readily recognized and accepted by the reluctant second language reader.

Graphic Novels - Introduction
By definition “graphic novels” are “ novels whose narrative is conveyed through a combination of text and art, usually in comic strip form.” - Eisner,W (1978) -
The term “ graphic novel” is now generally used to describe any story book in a comic format that resembles a novel in length and develops as one piece of narrative work. Novels are presented as books in linear form; picture books tell a story with text accompanied by illustrations; films work with moving images and dialogue but graphic novels combine all these elements as a medium for story-telling.
“They are like prose in that they are written in printed form, but they are also like films in that they tell a story through visual images.” - Smith. J(2005) -
In a graphic novel, readers derive information visually from pictures which are presented in sequence. Facial expressions and physical movements are relayed visually so much so that they, “… graphic novels are literature in cinematic format .”

Our Next Generation
For the past two weeks, I have been going around various schools to observe how the Program Transisi Guru Penyayang were being carried out. This experience has given me quite a deep insight of what is underneath our very naked eyes are seeing. The faces of innocence that stare back at you in wonder and full of expectation of what is to come, of what can be learned, of what should be understood - could easily boggle your mind.
These children of the future, the carriers of our hopes, our dependence of the unknown, are such a wonderful joy to discover, learn, know and above all, love. So much that we know, so much that they do not. So much that we could give, so much that they want to absorb. We are not here to teach them from the heart, but teachers, we should teach them through the heart. Such innocence. Such purity. To think that their best interest is in our hands, and knowing that as teachers, we are so very involved in making sure they get the best of education, could really be a scare to any mortal.
I am very proud to say that there are many of us teachers of Year One, who whole-heartedly are guiding these lovely creatures of the earth, unconditionally, oblivious to tiredness or time. Though these children could really be a handful, and most times, testing our patience to the limit, it is with pure joy to be able to witness the efforts of the teachers of Labuan. I could not be prouder.
Hooray for Year-One Labuan teachers.
To Further My Education Or Not To?
Having very solid education background is crucial in this age and era. It has been close to 12 years since I last sat in a lecture hall. I have to admit that Im quite rusty in the area of mass learning. Most of my college and university colleagues have the Dr. title in front of their names. Even those teaching in rural primary schools do too. Meeting most of them during the last school holidays, got me to thinking, why not me? It is high time for me to start my masters. I should have done it long ago or at least last year together with Pn.Maimoon but I was not ready to mix work with studies since the last few years were very hectic with work loads. I did not have the confidence then. Since I predict that this year is going to be quite slow in comparison, I have decided to pursue my long-abandoned need to study. Most of my friends and colleagues are very supportive.. Pn.Maimoon, Surin, Khaz, Hayati, Cikgu Nuzie, are all for it. Thus I have started to look for more informations through the various websites. UMS appeals to me. Today Zura helped me with the forms. What Im planning to do next is to coax as many of my friends to continue their education together with me. That should make the learning more fun. Well, since I have set myself in this direction, god willing, I should succeed.
