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.
From Your humble servant / My special thanks to YOU for 2008 / Pictures worth a thousand words / How do I TELL you? / Modifying and adjusting / Beautiful patience / Wordless Tuesday...kinda. / Searching / Everything happens for a good reason, its ok / Believing in the unseen /
Initially I was wondering why in the world was the first day of school on a Friday but after today's madness, I finally know why. It is to allow the teachers get a weekend break after the madness of the first day of school!
Anyway, I was not expecting to be busy, I only needed to finish up my lesson plans and get the timetables of the boys from the teachers. Planning timetable is a big headache I have to face every year and this time was no exception. I was also caught up in boys wondering around when they could not find their teachers, students who have no idea what and where are their classes etc.
This year I am glad that most boys are exempted from MT and I was looking forward to a more focus learning. So 3 of my P6 left last year while another one migrated but just today I know that I will be having 4 new boys, 3 dyslexia cases and 1 reading difficulty case. Again, timetabling is an issue because each change in timing will affect me in a big way simply because I am teaching all levels :p
I am also glad that majority of my boys are now near my classroom. They occupy the last 2 classes of P4s. I was knocking on Shai's door (yes, neighbour again for 2 years in a row) in the morning to ask to see Th who immediately got up and handed me his psychological report upon seeing my face. Good. The class was pretty quiet until Melvinder shouted across the class, "Hi Miss A**i!!" Ok great, this is how everybody know my name:p
The boys from Tamil classes were actually playing soccer during class time when they have no idea where their teachers were. I got 3 of my boys to come with me to class and clean up the mess. Had a little chat with them, about their holidays etc. When talking about the camp that we had last year V actually mentioned that the camp day was the happiest day of his life! Haha! So sweet. And this is the same 'naughty' boy whom the teacher describe 'uncontrollable'.
After that was house meeting and I am placed in Loy*** house again. I do not mind being in this house but yellow is soooooooo not my colour! It seems that all the special boys are in this house and thats where we all gather ok. SP was whining all day about the canteen not having any sweet drinks and I thought it was just as ridiculous! The poor boys are going to drink all the sweet drinks they want outside school since they cannot get it in school!
This was during the SWC meeting, check out the piles of papers and this is actually quite neat :p
Imagine having the SWC meeting with constant disruptions regarding timetables. We also discovered some challenging behaviors in P1 and because of these, I have 3 meetings to attend on Monday. Come on lah, I only deal with learning and behavioral comes under the counsellors duty ok! Unless its overlap and but seriously, I do not face a lot of behavioral problems with my boys. They are just rowdy and noisy but thats only because they are boys.
I was a little bit upset yesterday because I found a dress that I really like and after realising that it costs $200++ , I put it back on the rack. Today I came to school and saw a colleague wearing the same dress that I wanted to buy! Who would wear a $200++ outfit to school??!!!
That is called 'tai tai.'
I shall be one in the coming future, insyaAllah! Have a great weekend!
There will always be someone who have bigger hurdles than you. To find what you are looking for, you have to allow yourself to have an open mind and open heart, so that others can walk into.
