Happy Birthday, My Mom

Cerita Ethep,
Happy Birthday, My Mom

My fondant figures cake for my Mom's birthday this year. I took 2 days to learn how to make this figure and Fritz couldn't stop to ask me covering the breast and back area of this lady. LOL

The cake itself wasn't nice one. It's totally mess actually. Just have a good looking from the fondant but it couldn't be eaten at all. Bad!


Fritz waited impatiently for Oma's home. When she's home, he showed the cake and can't stop talking about the cover. OMG! How excited he was with the small celebration of my Mom's birthday. 

Happy birthday, Mom. Always pray for your health and happiness. God bless you!

K4 : Week 47

Fritz, Fritz-homeschool
K4 : Week 47

Fritz is currently 4 years 10 months

Bahasa Indonesia


Our books for learning early Bahasa Indonesia. 

Praktis Membaca is an old book that it's hard to find it again in bookstore. It's a good book {for me} to teach child to read for beginning. There are 4 or 6 series of it and I found just 4 books in my work field. I borrowed it home for Fritz. 

Asyik Baca Tulis was a book that I searched for in a bookstore for quite some times. I found a difficult to find an activity book for teach him. I think it's the good one, I hope so. LOL

So far Fritz is able to read in simple words contains 2 syllables. Recently, he sometimes takes a paper and a pen or pencil to write everything he likes to write when he sees something.

Cooking

He always loves the process of cooking. He wanted to help me every time I decided to cook or bake something. This time, we wanted to make White Coffee Cake that supposed to be not using the white coffee, just coffee. However, we just found the white coffee belonged of my brother instead of the black one. So, here we were making the cake for afternoon snack. ^_^

Miscellaneous

So unbelievable! He gobbled 4 pizzas for his dinner!!

His love for pizza is really unexpected. He never gets bored eating pizza though it must happen for days. His appetite nowadays is getting better. Nothing happen with him, I mean he's not just recovery from any sick. He just gets better in eating and eats lots. Big boy!

Puppy Love

Cerita Ethep,
Puppy Love

Here's my two little favorite children in my class. Both have good looking and they're so cheerful though they have to face this fierce teacher! LOL

There's a story between them. The boy, named Nathan, likes the girl, named Joan. Nathan prefers to sit beside Joan every time he comes then put some glance to her during the class. Puppy Love! How about Joan? Of course she doesn't realize as she's so cheerful facing Nathan. She always loves playing with Nathan during and after the class. Sometimes I asked Nathan to go home earlier as his material wasn't as much as Joan. Few minutes after that, he came back again to the class and refused to go out until Joan finished her material. So cute!

FYI, Nathan is still in K2 and Joan is in P1. XOXO

How cute this puppy love! <3 p="">

K4 : Week 46

Valentine


For such long time we didn't have any theme worksheet for our homeschooling days. He missed it so much! >,< Honestly, my days are getting busier nowadays and it's hard to find time to print the paper for him. Here we did during Valentine's days. Not much but he's kinda so happy with what we did in that week.

Cooking

Actually, it's a failed project. I bought wrong type of crackers so it's a bit difficult to be poured with chocolate. I supposed to buy Ritz crackers without any filling in between. At last we had a fun when making it. XOXO

Tangram

Making heart with tangram. He still needs help while making it.

Fun

We celebrated Valentine's day at my work field, Alpha Education Center. Together with other teachers and kids, we took pictures on the top floor. 

Another pictures with girls

Pictures with boys before going home

I've got chocolate from Nathan, my lovely plump boy.

This one was from my ex student, she's now in Secondary High School.

Valentine at Alpha

Cerita Ethep,
Valentine at Alpha

My work field for last 9 years. 

Here's the place where I grow and learn together as teacher as well as parents since August 2005. I do love teaching with them. I learn from my environment how we need to teach children with heart instead of money. 

Some parents indeed push us to make their kids smarter in their area. My boss never! She lets us to know every children personally ability so we can teach them with their passion. 

Badly, we're going to close this place next year for some reasons. This year we decided to take Valentine's picture on the roof top of our building as our memories.

New Challenging Business

Cerita Ethep,
New Challenging Business
Few months ago, one of my friend's mom asked me to join with her new business. Actually, it's not a new business for me. Once one of my student's mom had ever introduced this business to me. I didn't feel any enthusiasm to join with her in this business as I never know who she is. So I let it go.

When I met my friend's mom in a recording for Compost Art, I was a bit interested with this business because I know her better than my student's mom. Then, I was quite busy with my stuffs and forgot her offers. Suddenly in January, my friend asked me again my response about this business. I think I'd rather try it next month so we can prepare it first.

So here I am joining MMM. I know there's pro and lots of contrasts for this business. Some people said I'm crazy why I believe this kind of business while there's still lots of another safety business to go. That's my choice, I'll take the risk. All I do is making my family has a better life. I pray to Him, may GOD always protect me from the worst situation. I hope. GBUs!

K4 : Week 44

Fritz is currently 4 years 10 months

Math

I think Chinese is not his second language. He found a difficulty to remember the numbers in Chinese and he's quite frustrated doing this worksheet. LOL

Origami

We're making lanterns for this week craft, celebrating Chinese New Year. Fritz was so excited making these lanterns. It's really quite easy for him. Just cut the origami then I helped him to staple the lanterns. He had to put the lanterns into the strings. Tadaaa....our lanterns high up!

Tangram

Yeah...finally, I've got this Tangram's print out free from internet. Not too bad. Fritz was able to make the Horse from his own tangram. Good Job, boy!

Fun

Welcome Horse year!

Our Chinese New Year's story here...

He's Off!

Cerita Ethep,
He's Off!
Starting this February, Ali decided not to join with Gabag Indonesia anymore. The owner asked him to have full time job there but Ali preferred his own job. 

I believe in every decision we decided there's good and bad. I hope it's a good decision for us. 

God lead us, please!
