LEARNING STORY
One fine day Unna and her classmates learnt about exploring 2 syllable words in Bahasa Indonesia. The
teacher prepared the materials needed. It was an activity where the children had to be blindfolded,
picked 2 syllable words and read it. It was Unna’s turn to do the activity. The teacher blindfolded her
eyes, and then she picked 2 syllable words from the bowl. After Unna picked the flash cards, the teacher
opened her eyes and asked Unna “What did you get Unna? Can you read it?” “ba… bi…babi” Unna
replied. The teacher praised her by saying “Good job Unna”.
After several time, it came to the activity called ‘Feel it, Guess it!” the teacher brainstormed the students
by showing them several material such as salt, green beans, rice and corn. Unna had to wait to take turn
to do the activity, after a while, it was her turn. The teacher called Unna and she excitedly stood up and
came to the teacher to blindfold her eyes. She said “Miss, only touching?” the teacher replied “yes,
Unna, only touch it, ok?”. Then, she sat down on the chair and started to feel one bowl to another. The
first bowl was the salt; she could easily guess it “its salt”. The second bowl was rice and she said slowly
“rice!” The teacher responded “Very good! Next!” The third bowl was corn and she could guess it too.
The last bowl was the green beans and it took several minutes for her to guess it yet, she could guess it
correctly.
