schools are using different online methods for remote learning during the COVID-19 outbreak. 

School across Indonesia has shut down due to the spread of COVID-19,  Many districts are transitioning to remote learning — even for kindergarten students who are as young as five and six years old. 

all school have been trying out different teaching methods, learning what works the best for her group of kids. Using video messaging programs has been extremely helpful for keeping in touch, as it's the only method of connection the students have with their teacher and with their friends. "This is so important,They need to know that we are still a class family even though we can't be together in person."

But adapting to new methods of teaching has been a challenge. Here some online methods that familiar and it is used some of school (Kindergarten or elementary school)

1. Zoom Live Streaming

Now that online teaching is the norm, many teachers are turning to Zoom. It’s an amazing resource.

Get free access

Typically, the free “Basic” version of Zoom has a limit of 40 minutes for three or more participants. Now, K-12 students and teachers can get unlimited meeting minutes. Go to zoom.us and click the “Sign Up, It’s Free” button. Enter your school email address. You’ll then get an email from Zoom with a button to activate your account.

2. Google Hangout meet

Google Hangouts Meet is a video conferencing tool developed by Google that allows users to collaborate at a distance, instant message, video chat, and share photos, computer screens, and files. Google Hangouts allows conversations among up to 10 users at the same time. It can be accessed online or through mobile apps available for iOS and Android. Chat histories and files are saved online, and they are available to be synced between different devices. For educators, Google Hangouts is a great tool to engage students in collaboration outside of the classroom.

"If you let me stay in your house, I will cast away this monster Nian". Said The man.



"You don't know a thing about the monster. A single whip of its tail wipes out dozens of the men. I see no way how you can deal with it.



"Grandma, let's get going. Nian may pop in any second." Said her granddaughter.



The man keeps asking " If you don't mind may I stay in your house for the night?"

Indonesia Folktale - The Ant and The Elephant

Edited by I Wayan Sudiarta, M.Pd.

Once upon a time there lived an elephant, the elephant lived in a forest. He was a very big elephant and he was proud of his size.

He made lots of trouble for other animals in the forest.

He chased a rabbit around until it fell down.

One day he walked through the forest.

He saw a parrot sat on a tree.

"Ha..ha..ha.. what are you doing there? Didn't you see me passing through? I am the most powerful animal in the forest. You must bow down to me!" said the Elephant

"What ? Why I should bow down to you?" Replied the parrot.

"You don't know who you are talking you? I will teach you how to respect me!"  said the elephant.   The parrot wouldn't bow down to the elephant.

The elephant was so angry,  he picked up the whole tree and began to shake it. "Now can you see what can I do? All of you are so weak compared to me."

The elephant proudly walked away and went to the river to drink water.

Just beside the river, there lived some ants in a small ant hill. Everyday the ants would collect food.

Everyday the elephant would bother the ants. When the elephant was drinking water, he saw an ant, "Hey.. you tiny ant! Where are you taking that food?"

"I have to take this food home but it will start raining soon. I have a problem as I have to stay here   to prepare and collect more food."

"Ha..ha..ha.. I see", said the elephant. Then the elephant drew water into his big trunk and sprayed it onto the ant and her food.

"Ouch...!!!" The ant was completely wet and all the food was spoiled.

"Ha..ha..ha.. ", the elephant laughed.

"Hey elephant! I will teach you a lesson one day!" said the ant.

"Oh, I am so scared! A tiny ant wants to teach me a lesson. Go away...I will crush you under my feet. Go back to your tiny house!" shouted the elephant.

The tiny ant was very angry at the big elephant. He thought, "I will have to do something to the elephant. He can't keep troubling everyone like that."

The next day, as the ant went out to collect more food, she saw the elephant sleeping. She immediately came up with a plan. She quietly creeped up beside him and slipped inside his trunk. Once inside, she began to bite him. She kept biting the elephant until he woke up and started scream in pain.

"Ouchhhh! My trunk hurts so bad, who is inside my trunk? Get out of my trunk, it hurts so much."  The elephant thought he was dying and he began to cry.


The elephant was shocked that a tiny ant could hurt him. He was so afraid that the ant would bite him again and so, finally he began to apologize.

"Please forgive me! I will never trouble you again!" promised the elephant.

The elephant understood his mistake. He went away and he never troubled anybody again.

Approaches - Early Childhood Education

As the new school year begins. Many families are deciding where to enroll their cild in preschool. preschools offer various approaches to early education, all promoting the benefit of their particular programs. 

One approach gaining momentum in the early years of preschool curriculum is play-based learning. Research shows play-based learning enhances developmental learning outcomes. It can also set your child up for success by teaching them relevant skills.

What is play-based learning?

Children are naturally motivated to play. A play based program builds on this motivation, using play as a context for learning. In this context, children can explore, experiment, discover and solve problems in imaginative and playful ways.

A play-based approach involves both child-initiated and teacher-supported learning. the teacher encourages children's learning and inquiry through interactions that aim to stretch their thinking to higher levels.

For example, while children are playing with blocks, a teacher can pose questions that encourage problem solving, prediction and hypothesis. The teacher can also bring the child's awareness towards mathematics, science and literacy concepts, allowing them to engage with such concepts through hands-on learning.

While further evidence is needed on cause and effect relationships between play and learning, research findings generally support the value of good quality play-based early year programs.

research has shown the long-term benefits of high-quality play-based kindergarten programs, where children are exposed to learning and problem solving through self- initiated activities and teacher guidance.

In contrast to play-based learning are teacher- centred approaches focused on instructing young children in basic academic skills. Although this more structured teaching and learning style is the traditional approach to primary school programs, research is emerging that play-based learning is more effective in preschool and primary school programs. In these recent studies, children's ;earning outcomes are shown to be higher in a play-based program compared to children's learning outcomes in direct-instruction approaches.

Research has also identified young children in direct-instruction programs can experience negative effects. These include stress, decreased motivated for learning, and behaviour problems. This is particularly so for children who are not yet ready for more formal academic instruction.

what can be gained through play-based programs?

As with traditional approaches, play-based early years programs are focused on teaching and learning. In such programs, play can be in the form of free play (activity that is spontaneous and directed by the child), and guided play (also child-directed, but the teacher is involved in the activity as a co-player) with intention teaching. Both have benefits for children's learning. To capitalise on these benefits, an optimum play-based program will provide opportunities for both free play and guided play. 

Play-based learning can set your child up for success at school and beyond.

Development : Newborn to Six Weeks

Development : Newborn

Gross Motor 

When your newborn lies her tummy, you will notice she lies with her arms and legs curled up because of the way she has been lying in the womb. If she was born bottom-first, her legs will not curl up as much. Most newborns lift their heads while they are on their tummies and turn it from side if only for a second. They do this to "gain their balance". If you lie her on her back and pull her gently towards you, her head will fall back behind her body. This is called 'head lag' and is why it's important to support your baby's head when she is being held, fed or bathed. 

Fine motor and vision

• Fine Motor : Your baby grasps objects that come in contact with the palm of her hand. 
• Vision : Your baby is able to see from birth. Young babies are short-sighted, so brightness and movement will attract your baby's attention and faces and eyes are the things she focuses on best. Hold your face close to her face, move it slightly from side to side and watch how she follows you with her eyes. Do it any time after birth when she is relaxed and alert.  

Hearing and Speech

• Hearing : Your baby is able to detect a loud noise and respond with reflex ( a jump) from birth, but you will find her response is not there for every sudden loud noise. When she is sleeping deeply, crying, distracted or feeding, a sudden noise will often make no impression whatsoever. You may find when you try to make her jump by clapping or banging a door there is no response, so don't worry the life out of yourself by continually trying to 'test her hearing'. After a few weeks you will start to notice she does respond to noises such as an adult coughing or sneezing, keys rattling or a dog barking. Newborns respond selectively to different sorts of sounds. A soft noise such as a 'whooshing' , music or a lullaby can soothe and calm your baby while a loud, jarring noise has the reverse effect6. She will also stop crying at times to listen to your voice.

• Speech : Until your baby starts to coo and make other noises from about six weeks, crying is her only vocalisation, although not her only form of communication. She does have more subtle ways of communicating such as grasping your finger, staring intently at your face and coming off the breast when she wants to, but crying is the form of communication you're likely to be most aware of in the early weeks. The amount and duration of crying is highly variable between babies. Some babies cry infrequently and only then for an obvious reason, others confuse and bewilder everyone by crying for long periods of time for reasons impossibles to work out.  Baby sign language is very popular. It is collection of easy to remember simple gestures (sighs) that babies can learn to use before they can speak. The aim of baby sign language is to be able to communicate in meaningful ways with babies and so find out what is troubling them and fulfill their every need. The companies involved in selling the baby sign language method(s) claim a host of advantages such as IQ enhancement, an ability with languages and reduction of temper tantrums, tear and frustration. The research cited to support the seemingly amazing benefits of baby signing has predominately been conducted by psychologies who have vested commercial interests in the system. But to be fair, there is also plenty of anecdotal praise for baby signing from parents world-wide. 

Social behaviour and play

Many of your baby's reflexes are outside her control, but you will notice there are times when her response to things is intentional. Research in the last twenty years shows that newborn babies are capable of responding purposefully and making choices. Responding to your voice and being comforted by rocking, sucking, cuddling or skin-to-skin contact are all very your age babies frequently reject water but drink breastmilk or formula eagerly. 

Development : Six Weeks

Gross Motor

By six weeks your baby has noticeably more head control, so you will find you don't have to support her head as much when you lift and hold her.

Hearing and Speech

• Hearing : Sudden will make your baby jump, although there are still times when she doesn't respond.
• Speech : Between five and eight weeks she will start to make beautiful gurgling, cooing noises when you talk to her. The first responsive noises babies make are magical sounds.

Social behaviour and play

Along with the cooing noises the first smile appears - and what a moment that is! A small number of babies smile as early as ten days. People love to refer to early smiling as "wind". A non-communicative grimace, which is very common for babies to do, especially when they are sleeping, is not a smile (nor is it "wind") ; but when baby looks at you and smiles in a way that is definitely communicative, ignore suggestions of "wind" - it is a smile! 'the average age for the first smile is between five to eight weeks.

Doing it Alone -- Single Parents

I'm sure one of the irritating things about being a single parents parent is the constant assumption in pregnancy and baby information that there are always two doing it. Pictures of mothers and babies in magazines and TV series always depict smiling, happy, well-groomed mothers who invariably have smiling, well-groomed, caring men sitting beside them. The reality is that many parents are on their own a great deal of the time because of absent partners.

I am guilty myself of not mentioning single parents specifically throughout this article, mainly because of the difficulties in constantly referring to the total range of parenthood experiences. They are usually women, less occasionally men. All of their stories and reasons for being on their own are different. Some women choose to be pregnant alone so they don't miss the experience, but for most not having a partner is not their option of choice: rather, the result of an unplanned pregnancy of relationship problems. 

The lovely things that babies bring are there for everyone whether they have a partner or not, but not having anyone to share the physical and emotional demands of baby care with makes the job harder. 

A few tips just for you

• Contact the Family Assistant Office to make sure you get all the government assistance you are entitled to.
• Try to arrange to have someone or parent with you  for the first three weeks or so after the birth as this is usually a physically and emotionally draining time ( a weird combination of exhilaration. extreme fatigue, relief and anxiety).
• Make sure you know where to go or phone for help, the nearest children's hospital, the child and family health nurse, a mother and baby centre, a family doctor and so on. Put all the numbers into your mobile and/or have a list by the landline.
• Take up all offers of practical help.  When it is offered give the helper specific ways in which they can be of assistance. 
• It is of huge benefit fot all parents to have access to a network of reliable friends and family but this is particularly so for single parents. If you don't have this support it is crucial for you to establish contact with other mothers, single or otherwise. Obviously having contact with other single parents means you are spending time with people going through the same experience as you but you'll have a lot in common with all mothers so don't limit your options here. Mothers' group can be invaluable for this or you can find out via your local council or community healthy centre what might be available for you to tap into. Most local areas have a range of resources available for mothers and babies. 
• Make staying sane and healthy a priority. It's normal to feel apprehensive about raising children, most of us do. This is one time when you really do need to live one day at a time until you adjust to your new life. Eat well, do some simple exercise and catch up on sleep whenever you can.
• Never lose sight of the fact that the main things babies and children need are love and security which you can give in bucket loads. there will be times when you find the going hard but very few women - or men - regret having children. 
• You may need childcare during the first year for social and/or work purposes. For short periods occasional childcare centres are available to give you time off for shopping, dental appointment, study, social events and many are approved for government subsidy of their fees.

Preconception Care

Parents' own health can effect that of their baby so aim to be in the best health possible for at least three months before conception,

Women are advised to avoid or limit alcohol. No level of alcohol can be considered 100% safe so you may choose to avoid it completely. The risk is highest from conception through the first weeks so you need to take care if there is any chance of your becoming pregnant. Alcohol travels through the mother's blood stream to her developing baby. Each mother and baby can be damaged by a particular level of alcohol. Each reacts individually to alcohol so it is difficult to know how little or how much will cause harm. At all times avoid a high blood alcohol level before and throughout pregnancy. Never become intoxicated. 

If women does drink alcohol, present research suggests that averaging less than one standard drink daily shows no measurable effect on the baby's physical and mental Growth development. She should not exceed two standard drinks in any one day and these should be taken slowly over a period of at least two hours. She should have less than seven standard drinks over a week. 

The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), have published information on guidelines for women who drink alcohol who are pregnant or might soon become pregnant.

To maximize health during pregnancy you can also :

• Choose a wide range of food and limit caffeine intake;
• take a folic acid supplement as recommended by your health adviser. When taken before conception and in early pregnancy it helps to guard against neural tube defects such as spina-bifida;
• take no illicit drugs.
• if possible avoid any drugs including over-the-counter medications. If you take routine medication or do need prescribed medication for a temporary condition do let your doctor know that you are hoping to become, or may be pregnancy;
• balance exercise and rest; and
• do not smoke particularly during pregnancy and your baby's first year.

Do not share a bed or room with your baby if either you or your partner smoke, do not allow other people to smoke near your baby and avoid any area where people are smoking.

Preparing for Parenting

If you are planning to have a baby or you are already pregnant, it can be helpful recognize that there will be inevitable changes when you become a parent. You will be thrust into a new and vitally important role which will absorb massive amounts of your time and energy as you provide the nurturing-the loving care and guidance which your baby need. This responsibility will continue for many years and you can expect your emotional ties to bind you permanently. The demands will be great but the rewards can make all the effort worthwhile. 

Sometimes a baby is conceived accidentally and parents' feelings can be very mixed. The initial reaction can be delight but it may cause dismay and even panic depending on the circumstances at the time. Following the initial shock it is often possible to accept the fact that a baby is coming and concentrate on ways to adapt to the reality and move on to accept and, in time, even enjoy the pregnancy.

Before your baby is born you could think or some ways to make life simpler and consider new plans you need to make. For example think how you can minimise housework and streamline shopping and cooking, how you can obtain the rest you need you need as you manage your baby's frequent feeding and wakeful times. You could investigate child care facilities if you plan to return to work outside you home. It can be helpful to attend to some of the paper work which must be done -e.g. fill out form for family Tax Benefit (and parenting Allowance if applicable).Know that you will be continually learning. It is likely that your daily routine will often be turned upside down and you may feel that you are no longer control. If you can accept this, and even find something to laugh about, you can expect life to become easier as time passes. Parents need to talk together, negotiate differences and find ways to have some "time out" alone and with each other. Lone parents really do need special support. Apart from regaining strength following the birth. Lone parents have the sole responsibility of the new baby whom they are learning to know and care for plus all the normal day to day chores. Somehow find a way of taking needed rest whenever possible particularly during the first six weeks. Enlist friends and family and look for outside help. You can contact Lone Parents Family Support and other such groups. 

If you understand, before your baby arrives, that mixed feelings are normal - joy and delight one minute, anxiety and frustration the next--you can be accepting of these feelings. If you are able to make adjustments without feeling guilty you will be able to plan and make decision to benefit you all.

When planning to have a baby you can aim to:

• have good health before conception and during pregnancy,
• produce a healthy baby as easily as possible,
• regain strength rapidly following birth, and
• begin caring effectively for this new individual.

You will do these things best if you plan well and have a realxed understanding of yourself and your own reactions to new situations. It is important not to have rigid expectations of the experience ahead.

Obtaining information is the basic for planning and understanding. You need to feel confident that the information you receive is sound. Identify the types of care available and question anything you feel is unclear or you doubt. You will then be in a position to make informed choices.

PARENTING JOB PART 2

Choosing Your Strategies

Why difference in strategies between Parenting job 1 and 2? The answer lies in the issue of motivation. If she is motivated, how long does it take a child to terminate an irritating Stop behavior like whining, arguing or teasing? The answer is about one second. It's really not a big project. Depending on how angry and oppositional a child is, ending occurrence of obnoxious behavior doesn't take tons of effort.

But now look at start behavior. How long does it take a child to accomplish something constructive, like eating dinner? Maybe twenty to twenty-five minutes. To pick up after himself? Perhaps fifteen minutes. To get ready for bed? twenty to thirty minutes. Ready for school? thirty minutes. Homework? School work might take anywhere from forty minutes to three years. So it's obvious that with start behavior, more motivation is required from the child. He has to begin the project, keep at it, and then finish. And the project is often something the child is not thrilled about having to do in the first place.

In addition, if encouraging positive behavior in kids requires more motivation from the kids, it is also going to require more motivation from Mum and Dad. As you'll soon see, putting an end to stop behavior by counting is relatively easy if you do it right. start behavior requires more sophisticated tactics.

In managing a behavioral difficult with one of your children, you will need to first determine if you have a stop or a start behavior problem. "is the issue something I want the child to quit? or is it something I want him or her to get on?" since counting is so easy, parents sometimes make the mistake of using counting start behavior (for example, counting a child to get her to do her homework).

As you will soon see, counting produces motivation that usually lasts only a short time (from a few seconds to a couple of minutes) in children and does not provide the lasting motivation needed to get a child to continue desired behavior. If you mix up tactics ( such as using the counting technique for homework), you will not get optimum results.

But don't worry. This whole procedure is so simple that you'll be an expert in no time. Effective discipline will start to come naturally and - believe it or not - your kids will start listening to you.

Parenting job 3 : Strengthening Your Relationship

Your final parenting job is to work on strengthening your relationship with your kids. This means making sure that screen time does not replace face-to-face time. More importantly, strengthening relationships means that you value enjoying one another's company. It is critical to your family's well-being and to your kids' self-esteem that you like (not just love) your children.

What does "liking" your children mean? here's an example. It's a Saturday and you're home by yourself for a few hours -  a rare occurrence!  Everyone has gone out. You're listening to some music and just puttering around. You hear a noise outside and look out to see a car pulling up in the driveway. One of your kids get out and head for the front door.

How do you feel in your gut right at that moment? If it's "Oh no, the fun's over!" that may not be like. If it's "Oh good, I've got some  company!" that's more like like.

Liking your children and having a good relationship with them is important for lots of reasons. The most important reason may be that it's simply more fun. Kids are naturally cute and enjoyable a lot of the time, and you want to take advantage of that valuable quality. And they only grow up with you once.

Strategies for Strengthening your relationship :

Practice sympathetic listening

Three Things You Can Do to Raise Happy, Healthy Kids

WE HAVE THREE SEPARATE  parenting jobs that require different strategies. Each of these parenting jobs is distinct, manageable, and important. They also are interdependent; each relies to some extent on the others for its success. Ignore any of these tasks at your own risk! Do these three well, and you'll be a pretty good mom or dad. The first two parenting jobs involve discipline and behavior concerns, while the third focuses on the parents-child relationship.

• Parenting Job 1 involves controlling obnoxious behavior.

I will write new post to discuss how to use the 1,2,3  counting technique to control obnoxious behavior, and you will be pleasantly surprised at how effective that simple technique is!
• Parenting Job 2 involves encouraging good behavior. Encouraging good behavior - such as picking up toys, going to bed, being courteous, and doing homework - requires more effort by parents (and more effort from kids to engage in the encouraged behavior) than controlling difficult behavior does. In next page, you will learn seven simple methods for encouraging positive action in your kids.
• Parenting Job 3 is strengthening your relationship with your children. Some parents merely need to be reminded of parenting Job 3; other parents have to work hard at remembering to do it. Paying attention to the quality of your relationship with your children will help you with Jobs 1 and 2, and vice verse.

How do our three parentings jobs relate to the warm and demanding parenting traits? As you may have guessed already, the tactic for job 1, controlling obnoxious behavior, depends almost entirely on the demanding parent role. There's not much warm or fuzzy about it! Job 3, however, will rely almost entirely on the warm side of the parenting equation. And finally, Job 2, encouraging good behavior, will employ both warm and demanding strategies.
