Making Suggestions

We are a caring community. We help others who are in needs. When action can't be done, a piece of a wise suggestion given to solve a problem can come handy too.

These are the powerful phrases we use when making suggestions:
  • Why don't we...?
  • Let's...
  • Shall we...?
Why do we call those phrases powerful? Coz we can help others and make a difference using those phrases.

We can show that we care for friends in needs, animals, plants, environments, and our surrounding community too!

We made campaigns in various forms: comics, a role-play, a poster, a song, and short stories. We included the powerful phrases in our campaign.

Let's take a look!

Teachers' Appreciation Day

To celebrate Teachers' Appreciation Day, BINUS Radio collaborated with Students Development Committee and Students Council.

The students body held a fund raising in order to dedicate a special gift for their beloved teachers. They sold flowers and pins in three days. Many students were excited to support the programme by buying and giving the tokens to their teachers. The principal also set up a Greeting Wall for students to write messages for their teachers.


BINUS Radio took role to help announcing and encouraging the fund raising through radio. We also spread the Teachers' Appreciation Day fever by playing a beautiful song about teacher (in Bahasa Indonesia).

Listen up!



 
Thanks, Teachers! The world won't be the same without you :)






Very Inspiring. Teaching Is Touching Life

I'm glad I started my teaching career in a Christian school, where I got the ideal of being a good teacher: teaching is touching life. Teachers make a difference in one's life.

I saw this movie for the first time when I was still in that Christian school. It was played in one of the Professional Development days. I forgot about it and found the link again in my friend's blog. I watched it again, and inspired one more time.

Let this movie be a reminder for us of the higher purpose of a teaching career. In fact, it's more of a calling rather than a career :)

Here's the link. Do watch it. It's inspiring:

I Have Learned

Yes, it's the end of the academic year. The end of grade 3. In one whole year, we have learnt many things. Not only academically, but also emotionally and socially, through interactions in the classroom: making friends, dealing with conflicts, finding solutions... Growing up and being successful are not only about academics or intelligence, but also about characters.


So, my students, I really hope that you've learnt all the good things in grade 3. I hope you grow up to be the best out of you.


I pasted here an anonymous poem which I find very beautiful.



I Have Learned

Author: Unknown

I've learned that you can not make someone love you
All you can do is be someone who can be loved
The rest is up to them.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust
and only seconds to destroy it

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself
to the best others can do, but to the best you can do

I've learned that sometimes when i'm angry
I have the right to be angry,
But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel

I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you 
the way you want them to doesn't mean 
They don't love you with all they have

I've learned that no matter how good a friend is,
They're going to hurt you 
Every once in a while and you must forgive them for that

I've learned that isn't always
enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself

I've learned that our background and circumstances
may have influence who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become

I've learned that no matter the consequences,
those who are honest with themselves get further in life

I've learned that writing, as well as talking,
can ease emotional pains

I've learned that it's hard to determine
where to draw line between being nice
and not hurting people's feelings
and standing up for what you believe
