Planting, Observing, and Learning: Project-Based Learning with Mung Beans at Al Siddiq Kindergarten

/

The Project-Based Learning activity of planting mung beans was carried out by students at Al Siddiq Kindergarten as part of a thematic learning programme that is both enjoyable and meaningful. The activity took place over one week, from Monday to Friday, 19–23 January 2026. All activities were conducted in each classroom with the guidance and support of teachers. Through this activity, children were introduced to the process of planting and caring for plants from an early age. They did not only observe the final results but were actively involved in every stage. Children learned that plants require attention, time, and proper care in order to grow well. This activity helps cultivate a sense of responsibility and care for their surrounding environment. The main objective of this activity was to provide young children with real, hands-on learning experiences. Children were trained to observe, compare, and analyse the differences in the growth of mung bean plants placed in a dark location, indoors with sunlight exposure, and outdoors under direct sunlight. From this activity, children could understand in a simple way that light and the environment significantly affect plant growth. On Monday, 19 January 2026, the activity began with watching a video together in the Zainab classroom about a mung bean seed experiment. After this, the children started planting the mung beans step by step under the teacher’s guidance. They prepared plastic cups, neatly arranged cotton, sprinkled the mung bean seeds on top of the cotton, and poured water until the cotton became wet. This process trained children’s fine motor skills as well as their ability to follow instructions in order. From Tuesday to Friday, 20–23 January 2026, the children regularly watered the mung bean seeds by dripping water using pipettes. In addition to watering, the children were encouraged to record and draw the growth of the mung bean plants in the books provided. This activity developed patience, attention to detail, and the children’s ability to observe changes day by day. The culmination of the project took place on Friday, 23 January 2026. The children, together with their teachers, observed the differences in the growth of the mung beans under the three different treatments. They engaged in simple discussions about which plants grew tallest, were the greenest, and the strongest. Through this activity, children learned to express their opinions, listen to their peers, and draw simple conclusions from their own observations.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

Drawing and storytelling activities about holidays were carried out with the children of Al Siddiq Kindergarten from Monday to Tuesday, 12–13 January 2025. These activities took place in the classroom in a fun and enthusiastic atmosphere. The children appeared excited as they were given the opportunity to express their holiday experiences. On Monday, the children were asked to draw the most memorable moments from their school holidays. The materials used included A4-sized HVS paper and each child’s own crayons. The children were free to express their ideas, such as spending time with their families, playing at home, or visiting certain places. Through this activity, teachers were able to observe the children’s creativity as well as their ability to represent experiences through drawings. The drawing activity aimed to develop several aspects of the children’s growth and development. In terms of physical and motor skills, children practised hand and finger coordination while holding and using crayons. From a cognitive perspective, children learned to recall their holiday experiences and translate them into visual forms. Artistic development was also fostered through their choice of colours and shapes. On Tuesday, the activity continued with storytelling sessions in front of the class based on the drawings they had created. The children were asked to greet the audience, introduce themselves, explain their drawings, share whom they spent their holidays with, and express their feelings. This activity was conducted in turns with guidance from the teacher to help children build confidence. Through the storytelling activity, children’s language development was enhanced as they learned to form sentences and speak in front of others. Social and emotional development was also nurtured, as children learned to wait for their turn, listen to their friends, and confidently express feelings such as happiness, longing, or joy. In addition, moral and religious values were developed through the practice of greeting others and speaking politely. Overall, the drawing and storytelling activities about holidays aimed to stimulate six aspects of children’s development: moral and religious values, physical and motor skills, cognitive abilities, language skills, social and emotional development, and artistic expression. These activities were not only enjoyable but also meaningful, as they supported children’s holistic development through experiences closely related to their everyday lives. By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

Parents’ Study Session: Walking Through the Stages of Educating Children Based on the Example of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

/

All praise be to Allah, Masjid Al Siddiq hosted a Parents’ Study Session on Thursday, 4 December 2025. This spiritually enriching gathering was attended by parents of students from kindergarten, primary, and secondary levels, as a collective effort to fulfil the great trust of nurturing the next generation. The session featured two speakers, Ustadzah Dra. Hj. Nani Handayani and Ustadz Abdullah Haris, Lc., M.Pd., who presented the theme “The Stages of Educating Children: The Example of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).” This theme served as a reminder that educating children in Islam is not merely an academic process, but an act of worship for which parents will be held accountable before Allah, the Most High. In her presentation, Ustadzah Dra. Hj. Nani Handayani emphasised that children are a trust and a blessing from Allah that must be protected, guided, and nurtured with love and compassion. She explained that true education begins at home, through the parents’ own example in character, speech, and daily conduct. The cultivation of faith (tawhid), good manners, and acts of worship from an early age forms the essential foundation for shaping righteous and upright children. Ustadz Abdullah Haris, Lc., M.Pd. then elaborated on the stages of educating children as exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He explained that the Prophet educated with wisdom, gentleness, and mercy, while also instilling discipline and a sense of responsibility. Each stage of a child’s development requires a different educational approach, and parents are therefore encouraged to understand and adapt their methods according to the child’s age and condition. The study session proceeded in an atmosphere of devotion and blessing. Parents participated enthusiastically and made good use of the question-and-answer session to gain deeper insight into the practical application of Islamic parenting in daily life. May Allah, the Exalted, grant guidance and success to all parents in educating their children, so that they may raise a generation that is faithful, knowledgeable, of noble character, and able to embody the exemplary morals of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in all aspects of life. Āmīn, O Lord of all worlds.By Arief Firmansyah, S. Kom
