My L.A.C room

Reading and discussion (with parents)corner

This is my new LAC (Learning Assistance Centre) room in my present school. My previous L.A.C was not so good as this one. At first, I was worried and thinking the condition of L.A.C here. Thank God, it is fully furnished. It has 2 aircons, attached cabinets, a sink, a toilet, a sofa and a television. Soon I will request a computer for my special students.

I have been a SENA (Special Education Need Assistance) teacher since 2000. Before that, I was a class teacher. As a SENA teacher, it is a very challenging task. I have to be patient and creative in designing varieties of teaching strategies in assisting these special students. Anyway I love my career as a SENA teacher since it teaches me to appreciate peoples' 'Dis' Abilities.

Below is a photo of me with one of my special students. She has problem with her vision and she has courage in doing her work. She can write but has difficulty in focusing the symbols of alphabets/numbers and comparing colours. Larger font of printed text or numbers are needed to be modified for her. Look at her..she's cute :)

These 2 students have problems with their reading. Routine and remedial reading in LAC help them to improve their reading difficulties.

Four days Seminar

I was attending a four days seminar on Behavioural Intervention for Children with Autism and other Learning Difficulties at International Convention Centre, Berakas Brunei Darussalam. The seminar started on the 2nd Feb until 5th Feb 2009. The consultant from British Columbia Canada, Dr Douglas Lee was invited to give talk on the topic to 500 participants including teachers, parents and other agencies. It was very interesting talk, I learnt that the programme planning, activities and evaluation from the talk are relevant to all educators. These will use as my guideline to develop behaviour programmes in working with children in my school.
I met my friends and we had opportunity to take a photo together with Mr Douglas Lee. I felt dwarf besides him.hahaha.
Let me introduce my friends to you from the right is Zaleha, Dk Hjh Fatimah, Rosnah, myself, Dr Lee, Hjh Masnah, Aspalela and i can't remember her name...sorry. Anyway we enjoyed the food during the seminar.

A journey to Murree, Pakistan

Apples of my eyes.

This was the first time my kids and I felt the coldness of the snow. The temperature was -10 degree celcius. Murree, the name of the mountain area in Islamabad. It is next to India and Khasmir. We stayed at Murree for a day only. My kids wanted to stay another night but I refused since I had migrane and could not sleep for the whole night. I could not stand too long in the cold wheather..oooh..and then there was another problem, the heater was not working that night too. My husband went out the room to tell the hotel manager but no body at the lobby. That was my bad experience staying a night at Murree. But I felt relief my kids were sleeping under a thick blanket with sweet dream...

I like this view
