You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

Blue door / Monday, April 28, 2008 @ 8:26 PM
Actually I chose the blue door because I like blue. It is true that I am charming (blowing own trumpet, haha!) but I am not sure about the part where people are naturally drawn to me! Haha!
I promised that I will continue my story in my entries right. Ok, so it was decided that I take Sharul, Hafiz and Ani, from the past 2 weeks I knew they were weak but I was still unsure about how weak they were. This week we decided to teach using the OG method and to my suprise, Ani and Hafiz do not know letter sounds and thus they were not able to read cvc words given to them. Only Sharul was able to read most of the words and I think the kids really need a lot of intervention, imagine not being able to read at all in P1! I do not know why I am still shock when this is nothing new in my school:p
Anyway Shahrul was so cute, once he saw me coming, he just kept holding my hand there while the rest of them get settled in. Some boys are blessed with cuteness factors, they can get away with anything simply by smiling! I am trying to be soooooo careful not to be attached in case I need to be fierce when they misbehave. But Sharul is so cute, so hard be mad at him. Plus he just lost his 2 front teeth and that does not stop him from yakking away. Haha! Anyway he was well behaved that day so all is good. I do not know why I have higher tolerance for boys. Hmm, perhaps I have been teaching boys all along, I find teaching girls so annoying at times. Oh no, what is happening to me?!!!!!!!
So today I received 1 new case of a P5 boy. I refered him to DAS last year and, 1 year later, he is my student! So there we have it, 23 boys in total, all confirmed cases of dyslexia. I am sure by June, I would have 2 more joining the whole lot and planning timetable will be a headache again. I am also becoming paranoid for my P6 boys who are nowhere near to even passing. I was thinking of calling them back 2 days a week, but I see other SNOs calling their kids back almost everyday, that is crazy because with the Learning Journey, and time I need to prepare for next term, I absolutely cannot be doing that.
This week is great because with the exams happening, I have no classes and therefore I can sit there at my workstation to do admin tasks that I have been ignoring for the year. What I am even more excited about is, to be able to catch up on the cds! Watch out! John and Cathy Merris waiting to speak to me!
Woohoo!
