Well, complaints and grumblings aside, I actually achieve to prepare 90 kids for a part of two school production. BraVO!
Miss Liyana is in charge of The Little Red Hen in two schools!
Do you know the story, story, story?
Do you know the story of the Little Red Hen?
Little Red Hen, Little Red Hen,
So much to do when would it end?
Little Red Hen, Little Red Hen,
She got no help from her lazy friends!
Getting ready. 45 kids dolled up in 25 mins! yes, thanks to the HUGE brush!!
Rehearsing their finale song before they get on stage!!
One Good Luck Snapshot before the Performance
Joining the rest of their schoolmates in the hall with the Parents!
YAY!
The initial plan for the recess week was to complete my Assignment, clean and paint my room and help mum bake the kuih for Raya.
Guess what? I can practically cancelled this "To-do" List and categorise this as "Things that were not done this week" List instead!Ive certainly learnt alot throughout this entire week
The good, the bad and the ugly.
Like how cultured a school that includes prayers as part of an assembly can be..
How a big school with a myraid of resources would not be as conducive when the teachers are just unmotivated themselves.
How unreasonable parents can be when it comes to purchasing the needs of the students like for just 8dollars for a performance t-shirt but not mind speanding on their iphone and LVs.
How you'd tell the cab driver that you are trainee teacher when they ask for your occupation and they'd go on and on complaining about the education system and what are teachers doing when everyone in the class has private tuition?
yup.. all that in 4 days. .
I also realized that it is difficult to stick to the Perfectionist Me when I have to handle 45 kids at one go!
While some of them makes you wonder why do you even think being a teacher, there are others that make you realize you're cut for it! ( the latter usually comes when you least expect, well.. while the former all the time!!)
These happy things include my favourite cheeky and naughty monkeys!
And at the end of the day, they are not trying to bag an emmy so.. just let them have fun!
As much as I complain and grumble( it's only natural!), I must admit that Im glad to be doing Speech and Drama classes part-time before my actual teaching practice because Ive learnt to handle so many kinds of worst-case scenario, improvisation and you know what... Im VERY sure there is so so so so so much more for me to learn!
meanwhile, the painting of the room is postponed to next Raya i guess..
and i better just stick to what Im good at:just eating Raya munchies and guessing what it is called after taken the hundredth bite!
