In my Khmer class essential this week, I had have a class time period to go through and observed the structure of each individual book. We kind of doing the observation independently, but it was really fun and I got to learn a lot things from this activity. I carefully looked deeply into each page of the book. At the end, I compare each structure of the book with the other classmates. The structure was really similar to each other, but there was also some part that were different as well. I was really excited to share what I got to my friends in class. After this mini-lesson, we returned back to learn about the research paper again.
Research Paper – Khmer Literacy
Currently, we’re mainly focusing on writing section. In class, we’re divided in groups of 4-5 people to do a brief research on what really is a research paper. Everyone in my team had put in a lot of hard work in researching this, and because of us having a strong researching skill, we had been able to get this work done perfectly. In our group, we’re using internet & technology to find those relevant information. Last, we copied down all the work we’ve done into the paper in order to show it to everyone else in the classroom.
Independent Math
Beside learning in class with teacher, we also have something called independent math which is focus mainly on learning math by ourselves. So, I’m using this Expertise time to learn what I don’t understand in class, and practice more math. This hour is really helpful for my math class. Without this class, I will have a difficult time, learning some lesson.

Digital Painting
Digital art? I never heard of this before, and I think it’s really interesting. So, our facilitator has requested our school to buy a tablet for using in our class a tool to draw in our computer. Basically, we are learning how to do art using technology. First, we paint easy arts like draw a ball and try to make it realistically. I really enjoy this class, and I hope I can do a better job at drawing things using digital art.
Filming “Past Time” for Literacy
In pronunciation class, we have an activity that will help to improve our English pronunciation. One of the most exciting activity is making films. I really love watching films, so why not create one myself?!
Most of the teams only have a five-minute film, but us, we have a long one because we really want to get creative with it and make it more fun for ourselves. Please enjoy watching,
Chili Sauce Business
Hello! We are from an exploration called Chili Sauce Business, and currently we are working on start up a successful business of creating original chili sauce flavor. First of all, we had borrow money in order to use in our needed. So after we have money, we start to buy some sample of existing, popular chili sauce and let people test it to find out what are their favorite chili sauce flavor, and start collecting data. After we have more ideas with flavor, we start thinking of a new flavor for ourselves. We create a small amount of chili sauce in our school kitchen and let’s our friends and teachers test it and give us some tips of how to improve it. At the same time, we also try to design our own logo and also a new, brand name for our business.
First-Draft Short Story
I expect this to have a lot of mistakes in term of grammar. This is a first-draft activity where I wrote the whole story without properly checking for grammar errors. Enjoy reading,
“If you can be friend with a dinosaur, they will tell you how to come back home. Try your best! Who can come back survive, and who can’t, will die in this world.” The spirit said.
I was the first person to wake up from this weird dream. But what I see is the sand and the trees, no classroom, no school, and our teachers are gone. After a while, everyone else includes Aman started to wake up. They all looking around and try to explore this new world.
I went to pick up my bag. I open my bag and check what in there. Again, I didn’t see books or any learning materials, but what I can see is a bottle, a long rope, two little knives and etc.
“Guys, what do you see in your bag?” asked Plank that me.
And the answer is the same as what I have here. Just then a big, deep sound comes behind us.
“D-d-dinosaur!” shouted every grade 7 students.
Then we started to run in different direction. I try my best to stop everyone, but I just can’t. So I quickly holding Aman’s hand and run quickly to the east. But it the worst direction ever. We meet another group of the little dinosaur. And they are more aggressive than the last one we met, so they started to chase us. I quickly pull Aman again directly to the dark forest.
Inside the deep forest was very very dark because no sunlight can come through this evergreen forest. It kind of wet and we can smell nature and the dirt.
“We’re going to die here!” cried Aman.
“No! We’re not!” I quickly replied to Aman while try to wake her up from her stupid dream.
“It ok, you will be ok. We not gonna die here. I knew there will be a way to get over this.” I said.
“How about we’re can’t go back and we…” said Aman “No! I promise I will protect you.”
Then we heard a secret cracking sound without knowing who makes it. I hug Aman, and together we were walking toward the sound. Just then we were shock. We heard a sound of grooming. Then we walking slowly straight to the sound. It was a flying dinosaur who has a huge cut on its leg! I guess the wound caused by us kids or other species of dinosaur. I carefully trying to look closer to the wound of its body. But it not easy like what I think because this dinosaur always tries to protect itself.
“Just calm down, we are friends. I would never have any idea to hurt you.” Plank slowly said the word out loud. Just than Aman walk up closer to the dinosaur.
“Yes! We are friends. We really want to give you some treatment.”
Slowly the dinosaur started to calm down and it’s letting Aman and Plank take the leave to cover its wound. Then they all become friends.
The flying dinosaur leg is getting better now. But it still cannot fly fluently, and both Aman and Plank didn’t know why either. The flying dinosaur name Calendar and she like to eat meat. Three of them always walking and playing together in the forest.
“I have an idea!” said Plank. “Why don’t we create a protection stuff from wood. I guess I have a knife in my bag.” Than Plank quickly check the bag and started to create one for herself and one for Aman. Just then a roaring sound if coming toward them. Plank quickly pool the crying Aman again on Calendar. She saw a huge dinosaur running. So she through her weapon to the dinosaur. And it dies. Just then the world becomes hotter and a ton of block of fire fall from the sky. The dinosaur pulls both of them to nowhere. That is the huge magic cave!
“I think it time for you all to go back to where you from. I’m so sorry that I never tell you before. But I just want to be friend with you. And now I just want to apologize.”
“No! We never angry you. We really like to be your friend, and…” Plank said
“Okay! It time for you to go or else we all will be in danger.”
Plank let Aman go into the magic cave first and glance at Calendar.
“Why don’t you come with us?” said Plank.
“No! I belong here if I go I will disappear forever.” Said Calendar
Plank was running to hug Calendar one last time. But when she about to go inside she saw everyone else is hurting and trying to come along. So Plank quickly went to help them without letting Aman come outside because of it too dangerous.
“Come on Plank, the cave won’t last much longer, trust me it will be close in a minute.” Yelled the little Calendar
Plank quickly tell everyone to go inside the magic cave. But one of her friends is getting hit by the fire on her right leg. Then Plank tries her best to get her into the magic cave. As Plank about to get inside, the fire has hit in her arm. And… the cave was close with the magic glass. Everybody started to teleport themselves back to where they from looking sadly that Plank isn’t coming along and die in the dinosaur world because of who? It’s because of them. Aman cry loudly trying to get out of the cave. But she just can’t.
Everybody coming back safely into the classroom and waiting to see Plank. But…
She never returns.
Project-Based Learning
Welcome to PBL exploration which is stand for Project-based Learning. Our goal is to includes project-based learning in Cambodia learning curriculum, which was request by the Ministry of Education in Cambodia. We strongly believe that we can do it. In class we are working on the four lessons such as PBL definition, Teamwork, Interview and presentation to share our experience to the teachers at the government school so that they can share it to their students. They are having one hour per week which in the total of three hours to complete their project. I really proud of Liger that give my a chance to help create a huge change for Cambodia.
School Field Trip
Liger has a field trip to Kep as a celebrating time because soon the new Liger junior will come and learn at Liger too. I have marked it as my core memory. This is the last trip that we went out campus together as a school for the first generation at Liger. On the first day at Kep, we have gone to sleep at Gibbon Valley and hiking on the mountain as the mission to find the money that our teachers had hidden. Through this activity, we get to practice a lot of teamwork skills. On the next day, we went to Rabbit Island and have a free whole day to swimming in the ocean and walk on the beach with our barefoot. At night we are looking at the slide that created by our principle, Dom, that show the picture when we were younger, from the first and second year at Liger. Everyone is very surprised because there is a huge difference from the first year until now. I really appreciate the hard work that Liger does for me! Thank you and I am looking forward to more learning opportunities that are coming toward me.
